Ferrari Dino 246 GT Price

A Ferrari Dino 246 GT is generally worth between 300,000 and $500,000 in 2026. Usable or imperfect cars tend to sit near the bottom of the range, while well-restored, highly original and fully documented examples can exceed $500,000. A rare L-Series example sold for $566,000 at RM Sotheby's in 2026.

The documented US list price for a 1972 Dino 246 GT was approximately $14,500 when new. Prices varied according to the model year, country, taxes, distributor charges and optional equipment, so this should be presented as a documented US reference rather than a universal global MSRP.

A new Dino 246 GT cost approximately $14,500 in the United States in 1972. That is roughly 20 to 35 times less than the value of many good examples today, before adjusting the original price for inflation.

There is no single universally accepted record because market databases sometimes classify restored, competition-related or unusually specified cars differently. Among recent verified results, a restored 1969 L-Series Dino 246 GT sold for $566,000 in 2026, while a 1970 L-Series example sold for $434,000 in 2025. A public record near $755,000 is quoted by market databases, and such results should not be treated as the normal market value.

The Dino 246 GT has become one of the most recognised mid-engined Italian sports cars of its era. Its Pininfarina design, limited production, naturally aspirated V6 engine and importance as Ferrari's first commercially successful mid-engined road-car family have created sustained collector demand. Ferrari produced the model in three distinct series, and it remained in demand when production ended.

Approximately 2,609 Dino 246 GT coupes were produced. They were accompanied by 1,274 open-top 246 GTS models, bringing total 246 production to approximately 3,883 cars. Some sources provide slightly different GT totals depending on how transitional cars are classified.

The early L-Series is usually the rarest and can command a premium when its originality and history are strong. Only about 357 L-Series examples were made. However, an L-Series car is not automatically worth more than every later car: restoration quality, matching numbers, original colours and documentation can matter more than the series designation alone.

A properly restored Dino 246 GT can be worth approximately $350,000 to $550,000, depending on the standard of the work, specification and documentation. A restoration does not automatically increase value. A poorly executed restoration, incorrect colours or missing original components can make a car less valuable than an honest, well-preserved example.

Ferrari Classiche certification can improve buyer confidence by documenting the car's identity, major components and conformity with its original specification. It can support a higher valuation, particularly for a well-restored car, but it does not guarantee a premium. Condition, provenance, matching numbers and restoration quality remain decisive.

The Dino 246 GT has appreciated significantly compared with its original price and remains highly desirable among Ferrari collectors. It nevertheless carries substantial restoration, maintenance, insurance and transaction costs. It should therefore be considered a collectible car first and an investment second, with no guarantee that past appreciation will continue.
