That restoration site points out the real weak point of the Dino 246, a steel block. The 206GT had an all alloy engine and body. Early 246GT's also had some alloy body panels(mid 1969 production). The power to weight ratio was better for the 206GT too. The 206GT looks better due to the shorter wheelbase(my opinion). The 206GT is also alot rarer( around 150 made). Only one 206GT raced, at Sebring in 1969 by NART.
You can see by the production figures why they made so few Ferrari 206's and so many 246's. The FIAT Dino 2000 took most of the Ferrari production up to mid 1969 when the 246GT Dino started its production. The steel block FIAT Dino is very rare as most of the engine units went into the "Ferrari" Dino's after mid 1969.
