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

Why Is It So Hard To Find A Good Cheap Car?
As Jalopnik’s resident car buying expert and professional car shopper, I get emails. Lots of emails. Sometimes folks get into a tough spot or don’t know what to do, so I’ve decided to pick a few questions and try to help out. First up: My girlfriend is currently in the...

At $2,000, Could You Reach an Accord With the Seller of This 1993 Honda Accord LX Wagon?
At $2,000, Could You Reach an Accord With the Seller of This 1993 Honda Accord LX Wagon?
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that today’s Accord wagon represents the best looking model of the best looking edition of Honda’s mid-size standard barer. Let’s see if this one can bear its asking price. People ride rollercoasters for the thrill of it. They like the...

Here It Is, the Most Baffling Car for Sale in Canada
Here It Is, the Most Baffling Car for Sale in Canada
You may recall earlier this week when I took a firm stand on the grounds that it’s torture to have a wonderful car that you can never really let yourself drive. Well, now I’ve found the strange, twisted doppelganger to this concept: an ultra-low mileage car that nobody gives a...

According to a Holden insider, there are still more than 60 locally-produced Commodores sitting in dealerships yet to be sold, including some of...

2019 Maserati Levante Trofeo: It Has A 590 HP Ferrari V8, As Should All SUVs
