When the first Dino-badged Ferrari made its debut in the mid-1960s, the idea of a junior Ferrari was not a new one. Enzo Ferrari’s eldest son, Dino, had been a passionate proponent of V-6 engine design. Indeed, the younger Ferrari is credited with designing the marque’s first V-6, though he would never live to see it. Diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Dino Ferrari is said to have worked tirelessly from his hospital bed before tragically succumbing to the disease at 24 years of age in 1956—just one year before the engine premiered to great racing success.

After years of podium finishes with the “junior” engines, Enzo Ferrari, who had long desired a production car to directly challenge Porsche, charged his development team with designing a new car from the ground up, using the principals advanced by his beloved son. The resulting Dino 206 GT was the company’s first production car with a mid-engine layout and the first to be powered by a V-6 engine, with “Dino” proudly cast in each camshaft cover.

In the Dino 206 GT, Ferrari manifested a true driver’s car, combining lightweight, all-aluminum construction—quite advanced for the time—with sublime handling, a singing powerplant, and timeless styling. Aldo Brovarone and Leonardo Fioravanti’s design vision was brought to life in the workshops of renowned Carrozzeria Scaglietti, where the sumptuous, flowing lines of the Pininfarina draftsmen were formed entirely in alloy, making the 206 GT considerably lighter than the steel coachwork of its 246 GT successor.

His son’s dream come to life, Enzo saw it only fitting that rather than the revered Ferrari rampante stallion, it would be Dino’s own signature adorning the car’s nose. Today, the Dino 206 GT is regarded by many Ferrari connoisseurs as the more distinctive and important Dino model. It is also surely one of the rarest, with around 150 of the hand-built, all-aluminum-bodied 206 GTs produced from 1968 to 1969, after which production shifted to the heavier 246 GT.

This 1969 Ferrari Dino 206 GT, chassis 00332, was completed at the end of 206 GT production; it was the 115th of 153 units built during the brief three-year production run between 1967 and 1969. Finished from the factory in Rosso Chiaro, the Dino was originally delivered to Giuseppe Cinquegrana of Naples, Italy, but was soon sold to a resident of Rome just a year later. The car would remain in Italy before being exported to Canada in 1982. In 2016 the car was purchased again and imported to the United States, where it has remained since.

As revealed by the invoices and parts order on file, was the recipient of a cosmetic and mechanical refurbishment that was completed in April 2025. The interior was properly reupholstered to factory specification with beige leather. Various other issues, including service to the fueling and braking systems and wheel refinishing, were addressed to bring this car back to proper cosmetic and mechanical condition at a cost of over $80,000.

One of the most revered Ferrari road cars of all time, the Dino combines light-weight sports car performance with one of the most beautiful bodies to ever wear the prancing horse badge. Chassis 0332, now presented with a mechanical and cosmetic refurbishment, is an outstanding example of from the final year of 206 GT production.
