This classic Ferrari just sold in a US auction for the same amount you'd pay for a new Toyota Prius

The humble Toyota Prius may be one of the most popular daily drivers, but a classic Ferrari supercar just sold for the same price.

With Ferraris often being the creme de la creme of supercar brands, many people yearn for the day they can call one their own.

Once in a while, a gem hits the auction block like this Ferrari Dino, which received over 80 bids.

From original documents to recent work, the car seemed like a steal, but once the hood was lifted, the inside of the car told a different story.

The Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 – an icon in the car world

When we say this is vintage gold, we really mean it.

The classic Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 was first unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in 1973.

After a collaboration with Pininfarina, the Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 was revealed as a ‘mid-engined 2+2’ with a 4.3-meter-long body, all powered by a V8 Bertone engine.

With a top speed of 225 km/h, the stats are impressive.

Taking all that into account, you won’t believe the price that this classic Ferrari just sold for.

This classic Ferrari was a steal

Over on Cars & Bids, the 1975 Ferrari was put on the auction block by its current owner with 67,900 miles on the clock.

From the condition of the silver exterior, the Ferrari looks to have been well maintained, but under the hood and inside the cabin tells a slightly different story.

Sadly, just over a decade ago, the car had a ‘small carburetor fire’, and as a result, it is labeled as ‘rebuilt’.

Inside the cabin, some aspects also need some serious TLC, with the power windows and radio not in working condition, along with the washer fluid bag cap also missing.

The seats have clearly seen better days, too, but for one lucky person, this could be the ultimate passion project.

The seller also stated on the listing that the vintage 308 ‘smokes on start-up’ and would recommend the new owner to rebuild the carburetors.

It’s not all bad, though, as just last year, both the front and rear brake calipers were rebuilt, the front-end bushings and brake lines were replaced, the brakes were bled, and a fluid service was also performed.

Some spare parts consisting of two sets of keys, a dealer-supplied Ferrari keychain, and even service records and owners’ manuals were also chucked into the sale.

Plus, the MOMO steering wheel and 14-inch wheels make the 308 even more attractive.

Now, even though the Ferrari is in clear need of some work to get it fighting fit again, the car sold at a steal.

For just $37,000, one lucky car enthusiast bagged a Ferrari that they can make their own.

That’s around the same price as a new Toyota Prius PHEV, reports autoevolution.

We just hope that they have a spare few thousand dollars put aside to really make the car shine.
