15k: Pininfarina Style: 1967 Lancia Flaminia Berlina

The Lancia Flaminia was a luxury cruiser built in Italy in sedan, coupe, cabriolet and limousine versions.  The coupe/cab/limo versions were coach built by various Italian metal working firms, but the Flaminia sedan was designed by Pininfarina built in house at Lanica between 1957-1970.  Less than 4,000 of the tail-fin styled Berlinas were built and you'd be lucky to ever see one on the road today.  Find this 1967 Lancia Flaminia Berlina offered for $14,250 in Berkeley, CA via craigslist.


The seller of this Flaminia is the same person that had a rare 67 Fulvia for sale, but this isn't some front drive rust bucket, this is a proper front engine / rear drive sedan for the discerning gentleman.  The advertiser is Eddins Moto, a Lancia repair shop hidden in a back street in Berkeley, CA that is closed according to yelp - but that could just be an attempt to avoid future reviews by the owner.


The seller doesn't state explicitly the model year of this Flaminia, so we are guessing at 1967 based on the CA black plate, which would make it powered by the 102 horsepower 2.5 liter single overhead cam Lancia V6.


Power heads to the rear wheels in this Flaminia via a 4-speed manual gearbox with column shifter and it looks like an incredibly cool place to do business. 


Check out that sweet Jaeger "Made in France" speedometer, complete with integrated oil pressure, fuel level and coolant temp. What are the chances all 4 features (6 if you include odo and trip) will work at any given time?

    Ah, the last of the separated-at-birth Pininfarina Triplets: Austin A60 Cambridge, Peugeot 404, and this lovely Lancia. Certainly the Lancia is the coolest of the three, and this one looks wonderful. Very nice find, thanks DT!

    What am I missing? This car is worth a lot more than the ask. Why isn't it on eBay or Hemmings? Something fishy.

    Now how did you get this car before the boys over at "that other site"? This is the kind of thing that would bring absolute tumescence over there...

    The "boys" at that other site are senescent, not tumescent.

      Too funny (and likely accurate).

    Nothing fishy. They are massively undervalued in the market. Eddins Moto is THE Lancia garage. If you buy a Lancia, you want to buy it from this guy, More photos and some more info http://eddinsmoto.com/id145.htm
