Known Issues Carburetor Tuning: Weber carburetors can require frequent adjustment due to sensitivity to humidity and altitude. Ignition System: Older ignition systems can be prone to wear, requiring careful inspection of points, condenser, and coil. Rust And Corrosion: As with many cars of this era, rust can be a concern, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and door bottoms. Electrical Gremlins: Aging wiring harnesses and connections can lead to intermittent electrical faults. 📚 Vehicle History Brand Heritage Founding: Founded by Enzo Ferrari. Model Evolution Design Origin: Designed by Bertone, a departure from traditional Ferrari styling. Initially marketed as a 'Dino' model. Naming Convention: The GT4 designation signified its Gran Turismo, 4-seater configuration. The 'Dino' badge was used to differentiate it from the V12 models and avoid diluting the main Ferrari brand with its styling and V8 engine. Production Production Start: 1973 Production End: 1980 Production Volume: Approximately 2,570 units Manufacturing Location: Maranello, Italy 🏆 Awards & Recognition Recognitions Design Awards: While not typically 'awards' in the modern sense, the Bertone design was critically acclaimed for its angular, modern aesthetic.
