The Ferrari Mondial has built up a bad reputation, especially among Ferrari collectors. But, after all these years, it might be getting the right kind of attention. It is a special piece of automotive engineering because it is the only 2+2 mid-engined convertible ever made. Launched back in 1980, the Mondial was built alongside the 308 and the 348 and shared a lot of drivetrain components with them.

When new, the Mondial produced a mere 214 horsepower and with its nine-second 0 to 60 mph time, earning it the title of one of the worst Ferraris ever made. Later versions like the Quadrovalvole remedied that with a 6.4-second 0 to 60 mph time. Mondial T was the final iteration of the car and managed a 5.6-second 0 to 60 mph sprint. While not Ferrari's finest hour, even the Mondial started appreciating in value, and you have to prepare at least $44,000 to get one now.

The Dino nameplate was reserved for entry-level Ferraris, and the 308 GT4 is the underdog Ferrari that ticks all the right boxes. For the first three years of its production, the 308 GT4 was a Dino and was later changed to Ferrari. Ferrari's initial idea was to brand all the cars with less than 12-cylinders as a Dino, but they quickly got to grips with the ramifications of this approach, and voilà; from 1976 the 308 GT4 was a true Ferrari.

Just like the original Dino 246 GT, the 308 GT4 was extremely experimental in its approach. For starters, it was the first production Ferrari to feature a mid-engine V-8 and was one of the few Ferraris to be styled by Bertone instead of the brand's staple, Pininfarina. The transversely-mounted V-8 was good for 240 horsepower, but US regulations would choke the power output of later models to 203 horsepower. Expect to spend around $35,000-$70,000 for a decent example.

This is one Ferrari that needs no introduction, thanks to its unforgettable appearance in Magnum PI and other Hollywood heavy hitters. The Ferrari 308 was launched back in 1975 and became a pop culture icon during its decade-long production. In typical 970s fashion, the 308 exemplifies form over function. Powered by a 2.9-liter V-8 with 224 horsepower, this entry-level Ferrari was properly fast, capable of breaking the 60 mph barrier in just 6.1 seconds, provided you could fit in one.

The popularity also means they sold them by boatload, so finding one should not be a problem. The tubular steel chassis is vulnerable to corrosion, but the lavish use of fiberglass implies most of them look spot-free on the outside. The drop-top GTS models are more sought-after, but their age, combined with flimsy roof seals, means these cars are prone to leaking, which can lead to electrical problems. Because of the car's many versions, prices vary from $20,000 to $85,000.

The Ferrari 348 is yet another instantly recognizable icon that beautifully captures the essence of the 90s. A key difference from its predecessor was the longitudinally-mounted, 3.4-liter V-8, which meant a lower center of gravity and better handling. Depending on the version, the V-8 developed 291 to 316 horsepower, which allowed for a 0 to 60 mph time of 5.4 seconds.

Until a few years, the Ferrari 456 GTA was largely overlooked. However, people quickly warmed up to this V-12 GT, which harkens back to classic V-12 Ferraris from the 1960s. Its 5.5-liter V-12 produced 436 horsepower and allowed for a 0 to 60 mph 997 km/h) time of 4.8 to 5.2 seconds, depending on whether you had the six-speed manual or four-speed automatic.

In 1998, Ferrari gave the 456 a light facelift, known as the 456M which got improved interiors, traction control, and a few more modern amenities. However, those were made entirely in-house, unlike the early versions that happen to be one of the rare Ferraris whose body wasn't just designed by Pininfarina, but also manufactured by them.

Yet another Prancing Horse that’s famous for all the wrong reasons, the 400 was Ferrari's attempt at a practical Ferrari which didn't go as well as it hoped. The Ferrari 400 lineup, launched back in 1972, holds the record for the longest production run of any Ferrari body style. The '70s was an era famous for experimental technology and the folks at Modena wanted to get in on the action. Just like every piece of consumer goods back in the day, the 400 was trying to be everything at once.

In this application, the V-12 produced 306 horsepower which lent the coupe a top speed of 149 mph.

For starters, the 328 introduced in 1985 was powered by a bigger 3.2-liter V-8 that produced 270 horsepower, which lent it a much faster 0-60 mph time of 5.5 seconds. The suspension was revised, and it even got Anti-Lock brakes in 1988. The addition of a hydraulic clutch also made pottering around town a lot easier.

The same unit was the basis for a variety of cross-plane V-8 engines, found in Maserati and Alfa Romeo models.

Unfortunately, the 550’s gated six-speed manual was retired, leaving the F1 robotized manual as the only option for the 575M Maranello. Another controversial decision was the switch from a cable throttle to an electronically-actuated one. The 5.7-liter engine received independent ignition coils (12 total), instead of the old 5.5-liter engine’s two coils (one per cylinder bank). With a 202-mph top speed, Ferrari 575M was among the quickest V-12 grand tourers of its time. Currently, the average market value for the 575M Maranello is around $101,000.
