Dino (1966 to 1973)

The Fiat Dino (1966–1973) is a high-pedigree masterpiece of the 2026 Australian collector market, famously sharing its Ferrari-designed V6 engine with the legendary Ferrari Dino 246. In Australia, the market value follows a steep divide based on body style: the Bertone-styled Coupe generally trades between $85,000 and $160,000, while the rarer, Pininfarina-designed Spider has seen values soar, with top-tier 2.4L examples reaching between $280,000 and $450,000 AUD. Its desirability is exceptionally high due to this Ferrari "heart," offering owners the symphonic 160hp (2.0L) or 180hp (2.4L) quad-cam soundtrack for a fraction of the price of its Maranello-badged cousins. The buyer pool consists of high-net-worth enthusiasts and Italian marque purists who specifically hunt for the later 2.4L models, which replaced the live rear axle with independent suspension for a far more refined grand-touring experience. Locally, these are high-liquidity assets among the "cars-and-coffee" elite, though buyers are increasingly selective, prioritising cars with documented engine rebuilds—as parts for the high-strung V6 are notoriously expensive—and those that have been shielded from the catastrophic rust issues that plagued the Dino’s thin Italian steel.
