- On this episode of My Classic Car, Dennis makes his way to Colorado Springs, CO to check out a couple of Ferraris. We fire up a 1973 Dino Ferrari 246 GTS and a 1967 Ferrari 330 GTC. Not normally known as a "family car", these were indeed the family cars of David Donner. Routinely used, these are unrestored survivors. Truly a step back in time. Or a sprint. Starting off with the 330 GTC, it was purchased new in '67. Such a beautiful design, as are most Ferraris, and the elegance stood the test of time. Factory paint still in wonderful condition, interior all original and maintained, but used. Broken into like a comfortable Italian shoe. Before cars became angular, this is still beautifully rounded. Attractive from all angles and so well mannered. It's really a driver's car.
Stepping up a notch in both perceived and actual performance, the lines of the Dino GT belies the Ferrari race heritage. Like bringing a piece of LeMans home with you. It's a dream car for sure. This one came with the "Chairs and Flares", 1 of 90 aftermarket option packages that enhances the look and comfort. Again in silver, it shows off the distinguished lines so well. What it doesn't show off is the Ferrari name. Badged "Dino" everywhere, it was created in memory of Mr. Ferrari's son. There's also the Fiat link to Ferrari again here, Fiat having built the motors that Ferrari designed. And as with a lot of Ferrari designs, it was way ahead of it's time. The flow, the rear window, and the chopped of rear end with Daytona lights evokes the feel of a Ferrari race car, as does the mid-engine design.
It's not every day you get to drive a Ferrari. On this day, Dennis got to drive two. Lucky guy.

The Dino is one of the most beautiful sports cars ever produced, in my humble opinion. Gorgeous.
The 330 is gorgeous. But the Dino had always been my favorite. Such a sexy car. My pulse rate increases whenever I see one. Even in a video.
2 different Ferraris! 💯 Any front engine one is a super cool GT for the Autostrada! Great design and a sweet subtle rear. Dino’s used to be so cheap and non-desirable because of the Fiat connection - but it’s a great design and that tiny V6 and Borla exhaust sounds amaaaaazing! Way to go Dennis!
This is a timeless design! It’s great that it’s being driven & having a high mileage Ferrari makes for a wonderful experience! They really do get better, the more they are driven!
I can pass on the Dino but I love the 330 GTC! ❤️❤️❤️
Yes that's beautiful cars
Must be nice to have that large pink area to park your Ferrari's.
The Dino 246 is just a shadow of the European version. There is a couple hundred pounds of steel added to the US version for the crash tests, and the engine is strangled to meet EPA emission requirements. The European version is the way God and Enzo Ferrari wanted it to be. Lighter, more power, and more torque. "FERRARI" can be found in four places on the Dino; each carburetor has a tag that says FERRARI, and the air filter canister is marked FERRARI. I don't care if you want to call it a Dino Ferrari, a Ferrari Dino, or just a Dino, that is a fantastic driving car.
The Ferrari snow plow made me laugh. I remember the story of the Indian Prince he walked into an England Rolls Royce dealership they didnt treat him good. So he went back to India ordered the entire fleet and had them shipped. Once the Rolls Royces arrived to India the prince ordered the city to use them to pick up street trash. News got back to the Brits with pictures and they begged the Prince to forgive them.
I don’t believe the snow plow is actually hooked up to the Ferrari, just placed near it to make it look like the Ferrari was used as a snow plow. It’s a staged photo. I don’t get the impression this guys father would have been dumb enough to modify a Ferrari, especially one he just he just bought, to accommodate a snow plow.
Quite hard to believe it hasn't been restored. Ferraris, like all cars of the 60s and 70s, rust like crazy. And surely the engine's been rebuilt. Regardless, absolutely gorgeous.
could you imagine the cost of replacing that rear window of the Dino. ughhhh
Great episode. Just wondering what other Ferrari does his family have in their garage.
Not a chairs and flares model as described but nice Dino all the same
Ps, the transmission is below the engine, the clutch and transfer gears are on side.
i have a scale model of the 1973 Dino 246 GTS ( the only way i can afford a Ferrari!)
I think that I saw both of these at the annual June car show at Arap Comm Coll. Littleton CO. I'll chk my pics and my program(s). The vintage Ferrari's are pretty sweet cars. The really good examples will be super expensive in the future. As economics and other things change, the market for luxury items, coll. cars, vintage Stratocasters, etc. will prob switch from massively x-pensive for A list items and much less for lesser items. Look at how unpop. manual trans are on new cars are now. I drive around a wealthy neighborhood ok weekends on a reg basis. You see the older guys in the early Vette's, Ferrari's, and I even saw a Gullwing SL last weekend. When I see and interact w/ youngsters, ppl in their 20's and 30's, most of the males don't seem like they are that into vintage items. Not like my gen is; I'm almost 50. We shall see.
In general, Ferrari doesn't do much for me, but these cars are strangely attractive. I like more simple dignified looking cars. It is like the difference between a 1970 Plymouth Super Bird and a nice plain 1970 Sport Satellite. I could never justify keeping those Ferraris or the Bird. Too much money to risk driving.
I agree. What use is a car you can't drive and enjoy
Regarding the Dino, it’s not a chairs and flares car!
No one has commented on the snowplow...really??!!
It wasn't on it just parked close to it
The stainless steel-wrapped fuel lines (5:48) are not original to the car.
paint em red.
