Fiat Dino Spider Gives A New Perspective
When Ferrari wanted to race in Formula 2 with its new V6 engine named after Enzo Ferrari's son Dino, Ferrari faced a problem. They needed to build enough cars to satisfy the homologation rules, so Ferrari turned to Fiat for help. A deal was struck with Fiat to build the Dino Coupe and Spider, and with this, Ferrari got its chance to compete in Formula 2. Danny Soukup always loved the way the Dino Spider looked, so for decades he worked his way into a position to buy the car of his dreams. He shares the new perspective into life that his car has given him.

I owned a 69’ Jeepster for a few years back in the late 90’s early 2000’s. Drove it to Cabo a couple of times, Anza Borrego, Palm Springs and and it was my daily driver too. Had to sell it because the girlfriend wasn’t able to push the clutch in so she couldn’t drive it in case of an emergency! Loved that old car and was sad to see it go. Great film, brought back some good memories. Thanks!

the best part of this film is when you killed all the music & dialogue so we could just hear the squeaks and rattles & rumbly exhaust for a bit– really captivating. Great approach.

He’s got a smile on his face the whole time he’s driving it.
Nothing else needed to be said!

Two thumbs up . A tasteful , functional and practical rest-mod built upon a vehicle that is a a part of a rapidly rising and escalating segment [4WD ] in the classic car market with the forethought of future repairs , maintenance etc included in the overall build .Toss in the fact that its a daily driver and … that its a Jeepster … and ….. Did I say two thumbs up ? Seriously … two isn’t nearly enough .
