American Motors Corporation didn't have the size or resources of Detroit's Big Three — Ford, Chrysler and Chevrolet — but the company's engineers and designers made the most of what they had. 

The AMX, for example, is essentially a smaller version of the Javelin pony car, with a shortened rear end and no rear seat.

AMX values have held steady over the years and gained slightly in recent years. This car cost $3,245 when new. Today, this restored model sold for about eight times that amount.

This 1983 Ferrari 308 GTS Quattrovalvole features a 2.9-liter 4-valve V8 making 230 horsepower. That doesn't sound like much by today's standards, but the Quattro marked a return from the neutered 2-valve fuel-injected engines Ferrari sold to meet strict emissions regulations in the U.S. 

This particular model once belonged to noted Formula One commentator Steve Matchett, himself once a Ferrari dealer and F1 mechanic.

308 GTS prices have fluctuated recently, and the model is currently in a downturn. That's not likely to last as this is, after all, one of the coolest, most accessible, and most iconic (if not quickest) Ferraris ever made. This example sold for $62,000 at auction.

With increased horsepower and four-valve fuel injection, the Quattrovalvole is considered the ultimate iteration of the 308 line. What started out as a carbureted model in the mid-70s evolved into a limited two-valve fuel-injected car, and finally into the four-valve model seen here. It's the one to own if you want a performance-oriented eight-cylinder Ferrari.

This nicely restored 1968 AMX recalls an era when the smaller car held its own with its Ford, Chrysler and Chevrolet competitors. Its 6.4-liter V8 made 315 hp and helped the AMX dash from 0-60 in 6.6 seconds. 

The AMX was also a popular "rent-a-racer," a car you could rent on Friday to zip around on the weekend, then return on Monday.

Ferrari ownership isn't for the faint of heart, even with the best-selling 308 GTS. But these cars are one of the most accessible ways to own a piece of the legend, and with prices currently on a downturn, it's the perfect time to get in. These cars will only increase in value, style and desirability. 

The 308 GTS Quattrovalvole was the ultimate expression of the 308 lineup, with a four-valve fuel-injected V8 that made 230 horsepower. While not a lot by today's standards, it marked a return to form for a car hamstrung by earlier emissions regulations.
