The Rolling Stones guitarist’s vintage 1972 Ferrari is currently available for purchase and is listed at $500,000.

Before handing over the Ferrari Dino’s keys to a private Japanese collector in the 1980s, Richards, who is now 79, had logged more than 25,000 kilometers on the vehicle.

The car would have cost about $7,055 to buy at the time of its debut, which is equivalent to $12,750 now.

However, the old fast automobile is now anticipated to bring in much to $500,000 at auction, which would be about 70 times its original sale value.

The car’s interior is comprised of tattered, black leather seats, and the exterior is described as being “Argento Metallizzato,” or metallic silver.

Throughout a European tour, Richards used the E-series whip for personal transportation.

The vehicle, which has a top speed of 146 mph, will be put up for sale on August 17 at RM Sothebys in Monterey, California.

“Fast cars have defined the rock and roll lifestyle since the musical genre’s very beginnings,” the listing reads. ”It is hardly surprising, then, that the Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards, one of rock’s undisputed all-time greats, would gravitate toward the Ferrari Dino 246 GT, one of the 20th century’s all-time greatest sports cars.”

 

“Like Richards himself, the Ferrari Dino — the brilliantly balanced, V-6-powered machine with gorgeous Scaglietti bodywork — needs little introduction.

”Its 2.4-litre engine produced up to 192 horsepower, and it was paired with a five-speed gearbox.”

The listing continues: “Richards shipped his Dino to England in 1975 and registered it on the plates ‘GYL 157N.’”

A spokesman at Coys’ Monaco auction told the Gentleman’s Journal: “A Dino offered at no reserve is rare enough in itself, but when one adds to this proven long-term ownership by rock and roll aristocracy, the Keith Richards car has to be the ultimate Dino.”

The vehicle was last purchased by artist Liam Howlett, co-founder of the British EDM band “The Prodigy,” when it was brought back to Europe in 2014.

The vehicle is accompanied by a letter from Rolling Stones tour manager Alan Dunn dated April 25, 1986, which details Richards’ initial acquisition, his ownership, and the documented mileage (25,122) at the time of the vehicle’s sale into a Japanese private collection.
