Just like I prefer muscle cars over 2 seater sports cars of the 1960's - so I would lean towards a 4 seater Ferarri too. A later build Mondial convertible would be nice. 
 
That said, you could own one in the US fairly easily. I would be very tempted to find cars which are not available here- especially if they are old enough to legally come back. The Audi/ Group B fan in me would have to at least test drive one of these: 
 
Lancia Delta Intergrale! </div></div> 
 
Yep.  Those are definitely on my radar screen.  Produced from 1987-1993, so all would be 25 years old (and eligible to import) when I left here in 2018.  The 8v and 16v versions can be found for around $10k in driver condition, the EVO 1's bring a few thousand more.  The EVO 2's I have seen start out at around $20k.  Would certainly be a fun car to tool around Italy in, but at the end of the day, I'm looking for something a bit older and with a bit more character.  If I somehow end up with a place with no garage (e.g., we unexpectedly end up on post), have to leave something out in the weather, this makes more sense. 
 
Thanks,
