Instead of writing a brief history of the Fiat Dino, I'm going to point you to the Ritzsite.net article about the car. It's an incredibly well written and detailed article. Click here to find it.
It wasn't very long ago that really nice examples of these cars sold in the mid $20,000.00 range. Not anymore. The car listed on eBay, with a claimed 21,000 miles on it and a recent $40,000.00 restoration job, has an asking price of $59,995.00. At first that seems like a fairly high price, but lately I've seen several lesser examples selling for $35,000.00 or more, so who knows? It seems like people are finally figuring out just what these cars are and just how rare they are.
Located in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, click here to see the eBay listing (with over 100 pictures) of this car
British Car Collection - Awhile ago I wrote about a 1980 Rover SD1 3500 that was for sale in Glouster, MA. It's back on Craigslist, but now it's being listed with several other interesting British cars. Besides the Rover, the other cars in this collection are:
1973 Triumph Stag
1980 Austin Mini Convertible
1965 MGB
1973 MGB
1976 MGB
1983 Jaguar XJ-6
1965 Daimler V-8 Sedan (RHD)


(Another) 1985 Maserati Biturbo - This one is not quite as nice as the one shown above, but it's in respectable condition, needs a little work, and is cheaper. I'm posting it because it's located in the town where I live. It's a tiny New England town and I've never seen this car driving around, but it would probably take me all of 3 minutes to locate it.
I've always wanted a Biturbo. I just can't think of a worse time for me to start a new project. This is tempting though (no shipping fees, being able to look at it and drive it before committing to buy, etc., etc.).
Somebody please buy this and save me from myself.

Looks like both those Masteratis sold. You're safe!
Unless you were one of the buyers... In which case, good luck!
Nope. I didn't buy either one. I'm glad they sold.

If the Dino didn't have the Fiat name on it it would beselling for 80K!
