A handsome survivor in rosso ossido (oxide red), this Fiat Dino 2000 Coupé pairs one-owner provenance with the right kind of mechanical pedigree: the alloy, DOHC Dino V6 conceived for Ferrari and mass-built by Fiat so the engine could be homologated for late-’60s Formula 2. The coupé’s crisp fastback lines came from Bertone—first sketched under Giorgetto Giugiaro and finished by Marcello Gandini—while the Spider sister model was by Pininfarina. Introduced a few months after the Spider in 1967, the 2.0-liter coupé made the Dino a true gran turismo you could use every day without giving up the soundtrack.

Under the vented hood sits the 1,987 cc V6 Fiat rated at 160 PS, breathing through triple carburetors and driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual. Early cars like this 2.0 used a live rear axle with leaf springs; in 1969 the 2.4-liter update brought independent rear suspension and other running changes. Between 1966 and 1969 Fiat built roughly 3,670 examples of the 2.0 Coupé (versus 1,163 Spiders), and total Dino production across both series reached about 7,800 units—most of them coupés.

This example presents as a remarkably straight, unrestored and very sound (“sanissima”) car showing very few original kilometers, still wearing its deep oxide-red paint and a wonderfully period cabin with wood fascia and correct Veglia instruments. Crucially, it is one of the very few unrestored cars still retaining its original Magneti Marelli Dinoplex transistor ignition—so often removed or bypassed over the years. The seller states it is fully functional, with a “Ferrari” motor that runs like new; a compression test is welcome for confirmation. For collectors who prefer honesty to over-restoration, this Dino reads like a time capsule with all the essential appeal of the Bertone-styled, Ferrari-bred V6 grand tourer—one to preserve, sort carefully, and drive exactly as intended.
