A silver 1972 Ferrari Dino 246GT once owned by Keith Richards of the Stones will be auctioned in Monaco Friday (5/9). The econo Ferrari featured a V-6 in place of the V-12 engines typically preferred by Ferrari enthusiasts. The model also was the exotic Italian auto maker's mid-engine debut. The 195HP Dino was purchased in California by the Stones guitarist in '72 and transported to the UK three years later. Richards owned the car until 1986, when an Asian car collecctor bought it. Priced under $15,000 when Richards bought it, the ride is expected to fetch more than $275,000 - a value greatly enhanced by the fact a Rolling Stone was behind the wheel for 25,000 miles of its life on the road.
