IMHO, the best models in respect of an investment are:

- 308 GTB Vetroresina, especially in rare colour combinations (rare, pure, oldest model and hard to find in good to excellent condition since most of them were simply wasted; focus on Euro version only since the U.S. version is ugly and is lacking the dry-sump specification!)

- Dino 308 GT4 Series I in rare colour combinations (Dino-labelled, thus understated, and almost impossible to find in good to excellent condition since they were worthless for decades; many were destroyed or scrapped for parts)

- 308 GTS carburettor, especially in rare colour combinations (in carburettor version not as common as the GTB and combines open top driving with old school carburetted driving; few unmolested examples left; focus on Euro version only since the U.S. version is ugly!)

- 308 GTB QV (much more rare than 308 GTS QV, and most of them ended up in Japan since Japanese prefer coupés instead of targa versions; beware of U.S. models!)

- 328 GTB (much more rare than 328 GTS, and many of them ended up in Japan since Japanese prefer coupés instead of targa versions; beware of U.S. models!)

I don't think that the two-litre derivates for the Italian market will ever be an investment! There are two main reasons for this: Firstly, the 208 GTB/GTS, Dino 208 GT4, 208 GTB turbo/GTS turbo and the GTB turbo/GTS turbo are mostly unknown in the rest of the world, but youngtimer and - soon to be - historic Ferrari models have a worldwide market. And secondly, driving these machines is not the most exciting Ferrari ride of your life. Their last evolution, the GTB turbo and GTS turbo are quite nice, but still very different from a 328. One has to rev all of them a lot to feel some power, and their engines are not as easy and sophisticated as the three-litre derivates. Mechanics hate them.
