I used to be scared of bring a car to a show because there would be so many better cars at the show. Until, I went to a show in a 85 Yugo my dad paid $100 back in the 90s. It got overwhelming attention even though it was directly across from the Ferraris 🤣
The thought that the Dino was anything but a Ferrari is crazy. Enzo Ferrari named the car after his son, the son he lost. No father would have named the car to be anything less than his own blood.
Totally agree well said. The first time I saw 308GT4 I thought it looked incredible I was 10. 35 years later my late Father bought one after selling a 250GTE. I didnt get to drive the GTE but drove the 308 a few times and loved every minute of it. If only they were still disliked I might have bought one myself eventually.
Even thought it actually wasn't named Ferrari you mean? I don't agree with what some people try to say with their: "It's not a Ferrari" schtick, because it definitely was made by Ferrari and it was a great car. But then again it's true: it literally wasn't branded as a Ferrari by the company itself, it was deliberately meant to be a sub-brand and NOT a Ferrari. The badges on the car: very deliberately not Ferrari, instead Enzo had new Dino badges made for it. It is also physically not a Ferrari based on their own criteria: they decided that "Ferrari" meant something with more performance and different mechanical and even interior criteria. They wanted more leeway in making great, but slightly lower-level cars so they went with the Dino branding. Just because they discontinued the brand and decided instead that it didn't make financial sense or overall strategic sense, moving on to make Mondials with V8s and under the full Ferrari branding, doesn't mean at that time Dino wasn't a separate sub-brand. It just didn't make sense to make separate V6 engines and other components for a sub-brand (without mass-production volumes), nor did the sub-brand bring any strategic or brand value according to them, as it just downgraded what they were selling so they made very little (if any) profits with the lower-cost car...while creating a competitor to lower-end Ferraris which made more profit. Like you said: Enzo didn't name it a Ferrari. He named it Dino. Hence = not a Ferrari.
I always thought these were so perfectly proportioned and loved the look and so cheap in the 90’s. I dreamed of one someday, but at current valuations, probably not going to happen.
It's such a pleasure to see you actually enjoy cars rather than fretting over their maintenance or how quickly you can flip one (although we know sometimes it's necessary.) Videos like this are a luxury for us as well.
The first time I saw a Dino in the early 70's I was riding my bike in downtown Seattle and followed the dark blue beauty until I could catch up and ask the driver what it was. "Ferrari" he said. So I looked up the local dealership and found it on a pier in Leschi on Lake Washington, far removed from any other commercial area. I still ride my bike by there (now a restaurant or realty office) and think back to when I started lusting after this little car. It's been 50 years and I still am in love with the Dino. . .
08:47 - 1 of 10, Apollo Intensa Emozine, is said to have an Ferrari N/A F12 (FXX) 6.3L V12 in it with straight cut gears. Good to see you out having some fun Tyler!
Holy fuck. I was absolutely wracking my brain trying to figure out what that car was. One half of my brain was thinking it was some sort of Koenigsegg that maybe I hadnt heard about then the other half of me thought It was the Mazda Furai but that would be impossible as the last known remaining Furai died in a fire in 2008. I mean Mazda could have built another one in that time but concept cars dont usually get re-manufactured.
One of the things I enjoy about your channel Tyler is that always thank the people watching! So many channels do NOT do that...but if not for those people watching...well you know. Cool ride with the Dino! Love me some top down driving in Monterey and Big Sur. Until the next video....
I see Hoovie FINALLY swapped the directional wheels to the appropriate side of the car! I've been commenting about that for a year in his videos now, haha
One the biggest complaints is that it came with a slush box. And keep in mind when this came out the competition was stiff. You had the Ford GT, the Carrera GT, the Zonda, the 430, and the Koenigsegg CC8S. Really it's crime is that it was a GT car among and endless sea of bonkers supercars. So it was overlooked. But out of all the cars that came in that era the SLR is the one I would have. Though in reality I would probably get an SLS just so I don't have to deal with the McLaren services as don't leave near one of their service centers. Not as far as Hoovie bit it would still be a pain.
This video made me feel so good! Being part of a community like this is amazing. Thank you for always being so humble! But you deserve all of this success and more! Cheers.
The episode where they raced from London to Oslo. Jeremy in the SLR and Richard and James on a ferry and two different boats, both of which broke and stranded them somewhere south west of Oslo!
The first car I drove on the street alone was a 72 246 GTB Dino and it was amazing even then. Oh and I was 14 so it was even cooler for me. Sure wish my dad would have pulled the trigger an bought it for $23,000 in 1979.
It's really a beautiful car. In my opinion almost every exotic car has something about it's design that's less than spectacular, but not this car. Love the SLR. Those car prices at the auction.. It's one thing to paste a price on a windshield. It's an entirely different thing to get someone to pay that much. It would be interesting to see a list of what they ended up selling and for how much.
Hey Tyler! I ran into you on the start finish line at Laguna! I remember watching your first cabin Monterey Car Week video and the C36. Keep on making awesome videos!
Back in the late 90s my dad and I took our Austin Healey Bugeye to a car show in Carson Valley, Nevada and we were parked next to a Dino. I was in love with it back then but most people at the show were ignoring the Dino and looking at our Bugeye. Our Bugeye has a rotary in it but it's amazing what Dinos have done and they definitely deserve their values that they are nowadays!
Ferrari 275GTB is just the most amazing thing. The back of them is perfect. Single round taillights and enormous (should be chrome tipped) exhausts. I always loved them. The Colombo V12 sound is incredible. Go listen to one now.
A other great episode Tyler. I have to say ive always loved the Dino's ever since i was a kid and cant believe what they are asking for them... actually i should say getting for them now. I know that red headed stepchild feeling as ive had a porsche 914s that was always considered a Volkswagen as much if not more than a porsche. It was the second car i got and luckily enough still have it. It is an orange and black 1976. I got it in 1988 for $3500 and proceeded to get anything that needed doing done. I love it and would never sell it but recently found out that the have appreciated quite abit too. Last summer i was offered $45k for it!! I was blown away.
I have an 08 SL550 roadster. It was a bit of a learning curve to bring it back from the dead with a bad suspension accumulator, one of the two batteries dead, brakes, tires, and an annoying but mysterious brake pressure system failure that would immediately pop up if you push the gas too hard. The accumulator was cheap from FCP Euro and not too difficult to replace. The battery obviously easy, but the brake system thing had me scratching my head for months, until, i took it to Mercedes. They were ready to take an arm or a leg from me but turns out it was a warrantied part even after all these years. I paid the inspection fee of $175 and now everything works. I've had tons of cars, Mercedes, BMW, Vettes, Jeeps, but this crazy little car makes me smile especially when the top is down.
As a swede with smaller moose around, but still moose, the Cayenne would put the bulk of the moose through the windshield! Oh and our moose still have the long legs, but more like 700 pounds instead of up to 1300 pounds! Good luck with the moose, Ed! =D
Thank you so much for this video. I have never had the opportunity to see so many wonderful cars in one spot. I love your channel. I hope you do this for a long time !
That Apollo IE is owned by a guy who lives near me. He also owns a manual Koenigsegg, the CCGT that sold at goodwood, an LFA, and some other crazy stuff
Monterey car week is definitely the most special car event in the world by far. And there are tons of free or cheap car shows going on everywhere throughout the week, the Porsche club of America one was free when I went and pretty crazy to experience, just had to pay 20$ for parking lol. Supercars at cannery row is always a great time and also free to experience.
Peter Egan drove a Dino halfway across the country in the 80's. He liked it a lot. His story is currently up on the Road & Track website under the title, "Dino: Car of the North."
My mate had a Fiat Dino 206 back in the day,,, made the most glorious sound,,, I think he said it was basically an F2 engine. Unfortunately,,, the rear subframe collapsed due to salt and rust and it ended up in a dry-stone wall somewhere in Yorkshire.
When the SLR Maclaren - Mercedes build finished at Maclaren I was working on the planning of the upcoming UK National Composites Centre. Much of the equipment used to build the Maclaren Mercedes was being scrapped (I don't know about the molds). We were told that if we could get the equipment from Maclaren before their deadline we could have it for free. Otherwise it would be scrapped. The issue was that being part of a public body (Bristol University) we had to go through UK Government public sector procurement processes - they are expensive and protracted. Ultimately the equipment was stored (so it was out of Maclaren / Mercedes way), we had to go to market seeking quotes to supply the equipment, then after a prolonged wait, announce that Maclaren was the only supplier to bid at £0, then announce it to the world that their offer had been accepted. No doubt a lot of that equipment is still at the National Composites Centre in Bristol, UK - as is a huge autoclave acquired from Airbus in a similarly protracted and expensive way.
As soon as I saw, the ocean behind your car........I thought, yep Hoovie has been to Monterey (close to where I live). Glad to see Hoovie having fun! 😎
You nailed it with this car, I suggest holding on to it as long as you can. Drive it occasionally but keep the miles low. This car will appreciate significantly over time, it’s a future true classic that does not receive the appreciation it does today. I’d take this car any day over a McLaren or Ferrari.
Always loved the Dino! The design is incredible and different than any other Ferrari of the time. All the classics could be considered underpowered by today's standards, but looks like the experience is just as fun.
The Dino and many of the other classics are proof that a good chassis is better than massive power. I say it's better because you can use all of the power on public roads and not have to worry about tickets or sliding into something that shouldn't be hit. Like an old Rolls-Royce, power is sufficient for anything you'd reasonably want to do. It's fun to just cruise in an analogue car.
Love your channel Tyler! Best of luck with the farm project. If time permits, check out the aquarium while in Monterrey. That could be some interesting content 🏎️🐠🦦
I remember when a Alfa customer brought his Dino to the shop. Told me to take it out and don’t baby it. I didn’t and when I got back I told him what I thought and then he told me what it was worth which was in the mid 70’s about 25 years ago. I was glad he told me after I got back! Back then if you said you owned a Dino it didn’t carry the clout it does today.
It's crazy,but I see this drive putting a smile on the face, then think about the $500,000 , When I get the same smiles and enjoyment out of my $1500 Nova!!!!
I was staying at a motel in 1974 across from the Anaheim convention center and I when I walked outside of the lobby, there was a black Dino sitting there idling with nobody around. It was the only time I was ever tempted to steal a car. What a joy ride that would have been. Memories…..
I have followed you since close to the beginning, I was there for your visit staying in the shed. I am happy for you and your success. I hope that you will use the new farm to return a bit to your hooptie roots.
4:58. 1969 Ferrari 365 GT 2+2 by Pininfarina with the beam on it sold $117,600 4:49 1980 Ferrari 512 BB sold $151,200 5:35 1976 Ferrari 308 GTB 'Vetroresina' by Scaglietti sold $78,400 5:48 1964 Ferrari 250 GT/L Berlinetta Lusso by Scaglietti sold $907,000 6:07 1965 Ferrari 275 GTB/6C Alloy by Scaglietti sold for $3,305,000 6:23 the crumpled shell of a 1954 Ferrari 500 Mondial Spider Series I by Pinin Farina sold for $1,875,000
I remember a late 80s magazine article, either Road & Track or Car and Driver, where they bought the 'least desirable Ferrari ever made' - a Dino - for $800 out of the newspaper classifieds. They begrudgingly admitted at the end of the article that it's a great car. Miss those days.
I remember when the F1's were in their showroom on park lane,always people with their nose's stuck to the window,they were £750,000 back then,the only people you ever saw driving them around were people from oil rich countries,the sultan of brunei bought five of them.A guy i used do work for bought a dino,they were £75,000 new,he had it for two months and sold it back to the dealer,the two months he had it for he only drove it for ten days,it just kept breaking down.
That SLR is the only Mercedes I'd ever own and im in love with it. I wouldn't change a thing about it. Imo the best looking stock wheels ever. The car just looks fast and beautiful. I've never liked any Mercedes vehicles till I saw the SLR.
That Dino is gorgeous. My Dad in the early 70’s entered a close bid auction on one of those. It was in southwest Ohio where we lived. His bid came in second. He lost to the winner by $1,500. Oh, Dad’s bid was $5,000!
