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

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

At $18,500, Would You Lean Toward Buying This 2022 Ford Mustang?
Today’s Mustang is being sold by a towing yard, which means it’s probably a lien sale. Let’s see if this clean title convertible is priced to put a new buyer on the hook. The general consensus on last Friday’s was that it would be the perfect car for someone...

Which One Of You Suckers Is Going To Pay Over $32,000 For A 25-Year-Old Toyota 4Runner
The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

At $8,600, Would You Go Topless In This 1994 Cadillac Eldorado?
The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

Let’s cut right to the chase: buying a is not a good idea unless you have deep enough pockets for the upkeep. For those not in the know, they’re sirens. They draw you in with their premium Italian image and sweet songs of and then go in for the...
