Overview

Why this car matters

The Fiat Dino Spider is a Pininfarina-bodied spider built so Fiat could produce the Ferrari Dino 65° V6 in numbers sufficient for Formula 2 homologation.

This guide covers the Spider only; the Bertone-bodied Coupé is out of scope.

The road-going Fiat that made Ferrari's Dino V6 possible in Formula 2 — with the 2400 Spider assembled at Maranello alongside the Ferrari Dino 246 GT and, at 420 cars, the rarest Fiat Dino.

Buyer's Guide

What to look for

Variant identification — 2000 vs 2400

Confirm the exact variant — 2000 Spider (1966–December 1968, 1,986cc V6, 160 bhp, 1,163 built, all LHD) or 2400 Spider (from late 1969, 2,418cc, 180 bhp, IRS, ZF 5-speed, 420 built) — against build records and period documentation. For the Dino Spider specifically, the Bertone-bodied Coupé is out of scope of this guide.

Ferrari-derived Dino 65° V6

The Dino 65° V6 was engineered by Ferrari; service and rebuild competence in this engine family is essential. Confirm engine identity, service record and any rebuild history against an appropriate specialist.

Body, chassis and originality

Inspect the Pininfarina body, chassis and driveline carefully. Confirm the extent of any body restoration, correct variant-specific detailing and originality of panels and trim against marque-specialist sources.

Provenance and restoration history

Restoration standard and documented ownership record are material. Confirm the shop, extent and date of any restoration, and — for the 2400 in particular — Maranello assembly context and rarity against a marque specialist.

Pricing

What to pay

2.4 Spider market
2.4 Spiders average ~$180,000 (Classic.com) with the European market clustering €110–150k (Classic Trader); 2.0 Spiders trade somewhat below. The Bertone Coupé — outside this guide's scope — sits far lower and drags the family average down, so beware headline 'Fiat Dino' averages.
