Yes. If you compare the production numbers of Ferrari cars prior to the modern era (say, starting with the 308) and since, you'll see what I mean.

Anybody with reasonable eyesight? Seriously, if a person can't immediately tell them apart, they have no business buying either car.

A Dino and a 308 are two different animals. While Dino prices have gone up (and they are in the pre-modern Ferrari era) the later v-8 cars have not done much. There's a litttle upside in the very nicest examples of the 328 but the rest are flat, at best. My 328 appreciated $5k in the 15 years I owned it, while I spent $50k on maintenance and repairs. I'll let someone else do the math.

That's always been the case. Nothing new there.
I still say I wouldn't buy either car with the expectation of making money on them. I'd buy the car that fits my needs the best. Right now, neither one appeals to me, for different reasons, although I've owned both.
