Ferrari Dino 246 prices in 2026 run from about $300,000 to $500,000 for the 246 GT to about $400,000 to $700,000 for the rarer 246 GTS, with exceptional cars going higher. The Dino 246 is a family, not a single car: the GT closed coupe and the open-top GTS targa, built from 1969 to 1974. Named after Enzo Ferrari's son Alfredino and powered by a Pininfarina-styled, mid-mounted V6, it was Ferrari's first commercially successful mid-engined road car.
The Dino 246 replaced the small-production 206 GT and became the definitive Dino. It was sold under the Dino badge rather than the Ferrari name, a tribute to Enzo's late son who worked on the V6, but collectors treat it as a Ferrari today. The line splits into the 246 GT coupe, built in roughly 2,609 examples, and the 246 GTS targa, built in 1,274 examples, across three series known as the L, M and E series. This page covers the family; the dedicated 246 GT and 246 GTS pages set out each car in detail.
In 2026 a good 246 GT trades at about $300,000 to $500,000, with a public auction record near $755,000, while the open 246 GTS is worth more, about $400,000 to $700,000, because of its lower production and desirable removable roof. The GTS record climbed sharply in March 2026 when a 1974 car sold for $1.325 million at Gooding Christie's, an exceptional result rather than a normal value. Condition, originality, matching numbers, factory colour, series and the sought-after Chairs and Flares specification decide where any Dino 246 lands.

FAQ
Ferrari Dino 246 price in 2026: market value, comparables and where to buy.
It depends on the body. A 246 GT coupe is generally worth about $300,000 to $500,000 in 2026, while the open 246 GTS targa runs from about $400,000 to $700,000. Exceptional cars go higher, and a 1974 246 GTS set a record of $1.325 million.
The documented US list price was about $14,500 for a 1972 246 GT and about $15,225 for a 1974 246 GTS. These are documented US references rather than a single global price, since figures varied by year, market, taxes and options.
The 246 GT is the closed coupe; the 246 GTS is the open-top targa with a removable roof panel, introduced in 1972. Mechanically they are the same car, but the GTS is rarer and generally more valuable.
The 246 GTS is usually more expensive. Ferrari built about 2,609 GT coupes and 1,274 GTS targas, and the combination of lower production and strong demand for open-top cars gives the GTS a market premium.
The Dino 246 is now recognised as one of the most beautiful and important mid-engined sports cars, and as Ferrari's first commercially successful mid-engined road car. Its Pininfarina design, limited production and rising collector demand have driven sustained appreciation.
A new Dino 246 GT cost about $14,500 in the United States in 1972, and a 246 GTS about $15,225 in 1974. Good examples today are worth many times those figures.
The public record is a 1974 246 GTS that sold for $1.325 million at Gooding Christie's in 2026. Among coupes, verified recent results reach into the mid to high hundreds of thousands of dollars, with a public GT record near $755,000.
Ferrari built approximately 2,609 246 GT coupes and 1,274 246 GTS targas, for a total of about 3,883 Dino 246 cars between 1969 and 1974. Some sources vary slightly depending on how transitional cars are counted.
The Dino 246 has appreciated strongly and remains highly desirable, but it carries real restoration, maintenance and transaction costs. It is best viewed as a collectible car first and an investment second, with no guarantee that past appreciation continues.
Body style (GT or GTS), series, originality, matching-numbers engine and gearbox, factory colour, the Chairs and Flares specification, restoration quality, ownership history and documentation are the main factors. Ferrari Classiche certification can support value but does not replace inspection.
