Dino-Forum

Hello Dino fans,

I´d like to ask you for your opinion/help with one Dino.
I have the possibility to buy Fiat Dino 2400 as shown on the pictures. Dino is my dream but I don´t have a lot of money to spend so I try to find some hidden gem.
Car was in the dry storage for about 6 years and now it´s for sale.
Engine should be ok, seats are damaged and there is some rust on the bottom of the doors and in the front side of the hood.

What do you think by your expert eye of the state of the car just from the photos?
How much money should I pay for this car (the state is by my opinion for basic restoration – engine check, bodywork, paint, new seats).
What about the basic spare parts? How much should I have to count to make it to good state (not to concours)?
Should I check some special details which are very important for 2,4 Dino (engine of course)?

Thanks for your help
David

In general,

be careful...

buying a Fiat Dino means to have spare money left over even if you are capable of doing some work by yourself. Something like "the engine should be ok" is for sure not enough information to let you sleep well. You should find an expert having a deeper look at the technical condition of the car because you can spend already a lot of money in those areas.

Rust with the coupe is also an issue which can let you spend a small fortune. My advice here as well... have a look with an expert. The money spent on such a specialist is well invested.

Best Regards
