>246 Dino
And, today, fetching a boatload of money. They are very (very) high maintenance, and fragile, compared to many other Ferraris of that era.
In about 1985, I dated a woman who had one in her garage buried under a pile of clothing and fabric. I about fell over when I discovered it.
"Oh. THAT. I got it in the divorce."

But show me any Ferrari from that era and I’ll show you a basket case. But the 246 is tiny inside and annoying to drive for somebody six feet tall like me. I’m also the only one, it seems, who doesn’t think they’re as pretty as everyone makes out. I think the latter 308GTB is the best looking of that line. Even of the Dinos, I like the Fiat Dino spider better. But I realize and accept that the whole world thinks I’m wrong on this.
- Wistar 4y agoI don't think you're wrong. The 308 seems to be gaining in popularity and value recently after having suffered a spell of "that didn't age well" itis. Perhaps "fragile" was the wrong word. Although I never owned one, I have had a few friends who have and they have all said something along the lines of, "the car is not a daily driver." They all owned at least two, and in one case, more than 10 vintage Ferraris.
- arethuza 4y agoA few years back when we were looking for a new house I noticed that almost nobody uses their garages to store cars - they are generally just full of random stuff. The one exception was an unoccupied house that had a Lamborghini Gallardo in the garage.... Eventually we decided on a house that doesn't have a garage.
