The 1967 Fiat Dino 2000 Coupé is one of the most interesting Italian grand tourers of the 1960s, combining elegant Bertone design with a Ferrari-derived 2.0-litre V6 developed from the Dino Formula 2 programme.
This specific example has been sold and is now part of the Giro Classico archive. The original vehicle page describes it as a pre-series 1967 Dino Coupé, restored in its rare original Grigio Betulla 0603, with extensive historical and restoration documentation.
1967 Fiat Dino 2000 Coupé
The Fiat Dino was created through an unusual collaboration between Fiat and Ferrari.
Ferrari needed to homologate its new V6 engine for Formula 2, while Fiat wanted a prestigious performance model that could benefit from direct association with Maranello.
The result was the Fiat Dino, offered as:
- Spider by Pininfarina
- Coupé by Bertone
- 2.0-litre all-alloy V6
- five-speed manual gearbox
- rear-wheel drive
- four-wheel disc brakes
The Coupé debuted at the 1967 Geneva Motor Show and provided four-seat practicality with genuine sporting performance.
Ferrari-derived 2.0-litre V6
At the heart of the early Dino Coupé is the 1,987 cc all-aluminium V6, fed by three Weber carburettors.
The original Giro Classico description quotes approximately 160 bhp for this road-going specification.
The engine is central to the appeal of the Fiat Dino because it combines:
- Ferrari-derived engineering
- compact dimensions
- high-revving character
- triple Weber carburettors
- a distinctive exhaust note
For collectors, this Ferrari connection is one of the main reasons early Fiat Dinos have become increasingly appreciated.
Bertone design
The Dino Coupé was styled by Bertone, creating a markedly different character from the Pininfarina Spider.
The Coupé was more restrained and practical, but still unmistakably Italian.
Its proportions combine:
- long bonnet
- low roofline
- slim pillars
- four-seat cabin
- elegant fastback profile
It remains one of the strongest examples of late-1960s Italian GT design.
A rare pre-series example
The Giro Classico page identifies this car as one of the early pre-series Dino Coupés and highlights it as a particularly significant 1967 example.
However, there is an important inconsistency in the current page copy.
The H1 and specification section identify the car as:
Dino Coupé #85
while the historical description later repeatedly refers to:
#111.
For this reason, I would avoid repeating either production sequence number in the SEO body until the FCA Heritage documentation is checked.
The safest wording is simply:
“an early pre-series 1967 Fiat Dino 2000 Coupé.”
Delivered new in Italy
According to the historical description on the Giro Classico page, the car was delivered on 22 May 1967 in Bari.
It later moved to:
- Treviso in 1982
- Vicenza in 1986
The long-term owner kept the car in covered storage and had the engine rebuilt in the early 2000s, after which approximately 15,000 km were covered.
Restored in original Grigio Betulla
A major restoration programme began in 2018.
The body was stripped and refinished in its original Grigio Betulla 0603.
Work also included:
- replacement of rubber components
- polishing of stainless-steel trim
- front and rear axle rebuilding
- brakes
- shock absorbers
- fuel tank and fuel system
- fuel pump and lines
- carburettors
- radiator
- ignition system
- belts
- original-style Fiat exhaust system
The process is documented through a photographic restoration book.
FCA Heritage documentation
The car is accompanied by valuable supporting material, including:
- FCA Heritage Certificate of Origin
- restoration photo book
- original tool kit
- historical file from new
The page also states that the car had covered only around 100 km after the restoration when previously offered by Giro Classico.
For an early Fiat Dino, this documentation is especially important because it helps establish:
- production date
- original colour
- factory specification
- ownership history
- restoration quality
Why early Fiat Dinos are collectible
The early 2.0-litre Dino Coupé occupies a distinctive place in Italian automotive history because it combines:
- Fiat production
- Ferrari-derived V6 engineering
- Bertone coachwork
- three Weber carburettors
- manual transmission
- four seats
- limited-production Italian GT character
It also belongs to the short period before the later 2.4-litre Dino models introduced further mechanical development.
2.0 versus 2.4 Fiat Dino
The 2.0 Dino Coupé represents the original concept.
It offers:
- lighter early-series character
- all-alloy 1,987 cc V6
- triple Webers
- early Bertone styling details
- strong connection with the original Formula 2 homologation programme
The later 2.4 Dino introduced greater displacement and mechanical changes, giving it more torque and a different driving character.
For collectors, neither is universally “better”; the 2.0 is particularly attractive for its historical importance and early production status.
What to inspect before buying a Fiat Dino 2000
A serious pre-purchase inspection should include:
- chassis and body corrosion
- previous accident repairs
- engine condition
- compression and oil pressure
- Weber carburettor setup
- cooling system
- five-speed gearbox
- clutch
- differential
- brakes
- suspension
- steering
- electrical system
- Bertone trim
- interior
- documentation
- Fiat/FCA Heritage records
The quality of restoration work is particularly important because structural repairs and missing Dino-specific components can be expensive to correct.
