Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: A 1962 Flaminia for Just $210,0000!
Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: A 1962 Flaminia for Just $210,0000!-July 2024

Wait, what's this? Have you missed ? Well, it's back. So get out your passport and checkbook, because today we've got a six-figure Flaminia, coming to us by way of Switzerland.

We've asked our very own Jalopnik commenter to help us out with bringing everyone's favorite choose-your-own-imaginary-destiny-by-way-of-polldaddy-poll feature back to Jalopnik. Let us know what you think in the comments below. —Ed.

You say you want history? You say you want Zagato coachwork? How about triple Webers on a sweet V6? Well then step right up and take a gander at this mostly original 2.5 3C with Zagato bodywork. The 3C indicates the triple two-barrel Weber induction, which bumped the horsepower by 21 over the single Solex engine. The seller claims that the car spent 12 years in storage in Switzerland, so it should at least come with a trunk full of chocolate. Maybe not, but you can still enjoy the Rubenesque form and double bubble roof line, none the less.

As one of only 152 produced, and with an impeccable lineage, there's no doubt about this car's desirability, but the question remains: is it worth $210,000? Two hundred and ten thousand? That's enough to keep GM afloat an additional 13 minutes. Or, you could buy — if you were so inclined.

So, what'll it be- a possible future invitation to the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, or your own personal giant white truffle?

You decide!

2009 Koenigsegg CCXR Edition: The Jalopnik 180 MPH Runway Blast
Christian von Koenigsegg is standing next to a 2009 CCXR Edition outside of his factory. We're about to head to his company's runway test track for some photos. He looks at me. "Do you want to drive?" I said yes before he finished saying "do." (: After driving the ,...

For $5,500, It’s Lonely At The Top
For $5,500, It’s Lonely At The Top
Today's Summit is an Eagle whose turbo twin cam will likely let you soar. Will you find its price however, keeps it firmly grounded? When I climbed into the new Audi A3 sedan at last fall's LA Auto Show, the first thing I noticed was that it was a tight...

For $9,800, Luck Be An Alfa Tonight
Do you feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk? If you're the superstitious type then today's Alfa 168 may just be your car full of karma. That's of course if its price doesn't jinx it. Most, if not all cultures have superstitions. Here in the West we consider things like walking...

2014 Porsche Panamera 4S: The Jalopnik Review
Some people believe Porsche should offer one car and you get to choose the color. Porsche, well, they don't think that way. And even though the Panamera isn't much of a looker, it's a hell of a driver. (: Porsche loaned me a Panamera after driving to take to Sweden....

For $27,500, Will This Soft-Top Benz Make Your Firm?
Celebrity cars carry a certain cachet, with the exception of course of the Chevrolet Celebrity. Today's Mercedes is said to have had none other than Tom Cruise's ass in its driver's seat, and do you think that will make its price worth celebrating? There wasn't much celebrating going on over...

For $6,499, Have Some Caprice Fun
In 1967, a Chevy Caprice was feted as the 100-millionth GM vehicle built in America. Today's Caprice wagon wasn't that car, but you'll still need to decide if the rarity of its specs will make its price one for the record books too. Considering his weird cult-like religion, legendary Oprah...
