Some Ferrari models, like the F40 and the Testarossa, have become household names. Others, like this 1984 Ferrari Mondial Quattrovalvole Convertible, haven't received the same fanfare.
What does that mean for you? For less than $35,000, you can have a genuine, mid-engined convertible Ferrari good for 240 horsepower thanks to its four-valve V8 engine.
Finished in silver over red, this clean-looking Mondial is available on eBay Motors for $32,900.

Wow that's terrible looking
f355s are gorgeous.
Mondials , 400i, and 308s are terribly ugly
The only Ferrari I have ever worked on was a Mondial. It was not an experience that made me want to own one.
Man that thing makes a Pacer look magnificent.
Man, that thing makes a Mustang II look muscular.
Man, that thing makes an AMC Eagle look graceful.
OK, ok, I'm done.
Tuned Mondials do exist. New wheels and color-matching top and bumpers go a long way:
In reply to nderwater :
That raises the look up to the level of Mustang II.
I think the biggest difficulty is the mid-engine layout while being a 2+2. That's a hard one to pull off while having nice proportions.

NO you need to get your eyes checked! ;-)

400i is meh.

FTFY. 
There was also the later Modial T, which while it looked the same on the outside had the 348 drive train. That was a huge step up from the transverse 3.0 & 3.2 to the longtitudinal 3.4 and transvers transmission. Amazingly they kept the same 104.3" wheelbase and the minimal back seats.
3.2
3.4T
I've driven a 328 and it makes a lovely noise and it is a special experience to drive them.
They aren't terribly fast (I've had econoboxes that were of the same period with similar performance figures).
As ungainly as the Mondial might appear to some, I think they're alright and I understand why they were created.
I mean compared to tossing the family into some hatchback or the Mondial for a drive to get ice cream, I know which I'd choose.
