Project Car | Classic Italian Cars For Sale

We don't feature a lot of project cars here on CICFS, but this Fiat Dino Coupe is worth featuring for many reasons. First and foremost, this car is a fantastic amalgam of Bertone styling with Ferrari power. These cars were the result of Ferrari wanting to homologate their V6 engine for Formula 2 racing, so that adds a nice backstory to the Dino Coupe. For sale in Texas, this car is in need of someone willing to finish what has already been started.

1967 Fiat Dino Coupe

1967 Fiat Dino Series I Project Car. CHASSIS NO: 135AC0001348. The Fiat Dino is a true collaboration between Fiat and Ferrari. The exotic front-engined, rear-drive sports car began production in 1966, and allowed Fiat to present a wonderful halo car, and Ferrari to ramp up six-cylinder engine production. It was an intermediate step towards creating Ferrari's legendary "Dino" and the two are often confused. The Fiat Dino allowed Ferrari to achieve the necessary production numbers to homologate Alfredo Ferrari's (better known by his nickname of "Dino") V6 engine for Formula 2 racing. The Fiat Dino Spider was introduced at Turin Motor Show 1966 and Coupe version one year later at the Geneva Motorshow.

This beautiful Fiat Dino has just received a complete body refinish, with new paint, brightwork and powder coated unibody components. In addition, the wheels are freshly restored with new tires. The car is very complete, with engine, transmission and rear-end as well as the original interior. This is a project with much of the work done and merits completion.

A good example of a Dino Coupe can exceed $40,000, so for those with the time and energy to complete this project, this car would be a worthwhile investment considering the price. These are under appreciated exotics built in small numbers that deserve to be preserved. The heavy lifting has been done with this one and it needs but a careful hand to bring it back to its former glory.

There's no doubt about it, the Mondial stands next to the 308GT4 as one of the most ugliest ducklings ever produced by the mark. And that's really saying something as most Ferrari's are anything but. But it's hard to argue, especially for the time period that produced so many greats, that the Mondial somehow got approved and built. But it is a . Take a look:

quote from the listing:

This car would make an excellent daily driver it has more room than the GTS but has the same Ferrari drivability and its just a fun usable car, no evidence of collision and its had the belts and water pump changed not more than 1000 miles ago.

The car has only done 84 thousand kilometers around 50,000 miles from new. I am not selling this Ferrari as concourse it is after all 28 years old, but it still looks great. The car shifts nice, the engine is crisp, in fact the more I drive it the better it gets; they do need to be driven and that's the beauty of a Mondial, it has more head room and more storage space.

Think of it as a Ferrari that you can use as a commuter that looks great and handles like only a Ferrari can.
it does have some stone chips on the paint work the passenger window is lazy some time it works other times it does not, the interior for the year I feel is better than average it sits on the original tires and they are showing signs of ageing, other than that no major faults, starts grate oil pressure and temp are good no problems there. obviously there is no warranty given or implied, it is after all 28 years old but you are more than welcome to send a inspector or come take a look for your self.

The listing for this car and the asking price should tell you everything you need to know about what you're getting into: a running project car. But this could be perfect for the mechanically handy buyer with a realistic budget for repairs.

What would you do with it -- fix it up and drive it, make a track day car of it, or sell it for parts? Leave a comment below.
