Tony’s Take: 👍👍 Back in the 90’s, Dino’s were selling for $30k. In 2012, I bought an extra nice 1972 Dino for $110k. My favorite exotic car dealer said I paid $30k too much. Later that year I sold the car for $155k. I knew they were headed for the moon. Before you knew it, Dinos were $500k. A Chairs and Flairs Dino recently hammered for over $850k.
With the recession looming large, with early ‘70’s Ferraris not hitting it out of the park in the last few years, I’m gonna say this RM Sotheby’s Monterey-bound Chairs & Flairs Dino brings $600k, give or take $20k. Downside: the Dino may be The Mother of All Mid-Engined Ferraris, but it is not now nor will it ever be a Ferrari – no matter what badge owners affix.

I’d give my left testicle for a well-sorted Dino. $620k? Not so much. Well, not at the moment. But this was my first ever car crush. Check out my love letter on hagerty.com
