1974 Ferrari 246GTS
Price: USD $795,0001974 Ferrari 246GTS Chairs and Flares Dino with Matching Numbers This 1974 Ferrari 246GTS Dino is a rare and highly sought-after factory Chairs and Flares model. Finished new in Argento Auteuil Metallizzato (Silver Metallic) over black leather and retaining its matching-numbers engine and gearbox as confirmed by Dino historian, Matthias Bartz. While each Dino that rolled off the production line was a stunning representation of Ferrari?s next generation of road cars, none were quite as representative as the Chairs and Flares models.
Delivered new through Schwing Motor Co. of Baltimore, this final-model-year GTS is one of fewer than 150 authentic Chairs and Flares cars built. An ultra-desirable specification featuring flared wheel arches, Campagnolo cast alloy wheels, and distinctive Daytona-style seats. The combination represents the most aggressive and visually compelling iteration of the Dino.
Purchased new by Nick J. Nero of Kansas City, the car remained in his care for over 20 years before passing through the hands of notable enthusiasts in Pennsylvania and most recently, California. Throughout its life, the Dino has been properly maintained rather than restored, preserving the integrity of its original finishes and components. The 246 GTS was inspected by noted Ferrari specialist Stephen Markowski on behalf of its previous owner, a prominent East Coast collector. Although there was presence of some age-related paint deterioration, Markowski?s report importantly noted an absence of prior bodywork. The interior leather was found to be original and attractively patinated, underscoring the car?s honest, well-preserved condition. Additionally, the dashboard was correctly re-trimmed by GTO Engineering in Los Angeles, CA.
In 2023, respected Ferrari expert Greg Jones carried out a comprehensive service, addressing seals, hoses, clamps, fluids, and other age-related wear items noted in the inspection. A period-correct Blaupunkt radio was also sourced and installed.
Showing just 31k miles, this ultimate-specification 246 GTS is accompanied by its original owner?s manuals, warranty book, window sticker, tools, and jack. A testament to the fastidious maintenance and preservation of its previous caretakers, the Dino presents today in well-maintained, fundamentally unrestored condition, offering a rare opportunity to obtain an authentic Chairs and Flares Dino that can be driven and enjoyed for many years to come.
