The Story Of The Stolen Ferrari Dino
In the realm of automotive history, few stories rival the intrigue and fascination surrounding the buried Dino 246 GTS, a legendary Ferrari with an extraordinary tale to tell. Owned by Brad Howard, this 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS has defied the odds, remaining a cherished possession for over four decades. Despite purists' criticisms of the Dino as a "glorified Fiat," Howard's attachment to his car remains unwavering.
What sets Howard's Dino apart is its remarkable history. Believed to be one of the most famous Dinos in the world, its notoriety stems from the baffling circumstances of its burial in front of a Los Angeles house. Discovered buried beneath layers of soil and secrecy, the Dino's fate puzzled enthusiasts for years until its eventual unearthing.
The Dino's saga began innocently enough, purchased in 1974 by Rosendo Cruz as a gift for his wife. However, tragedy struck when the car was stolen during a dinner outing, leaving the couple devastated. Nearly four years later, in February 1978, after heavy rains, the Dino was found buried in front of a house in central L.A., in what was believed to have once been a pool. It had been wrapped in tarp, loose plastic, and even blankets, with towels shoved up the exhaust to keep worms and water out. Whoever had buried it there clearly did not want it damaged.
