That Lancia was on Bring a Trailer. It's cool, and I want a Lancia, but not that particular one.

So, is there a stupid low flippable price for these?

Overpaid Slacker · 01-21-2009, 01:58 PM

I don't know. The auction site looks like a repo/clearance site, rather than an enthusiast site. With the attention a mention on BaT brings, I don't think anybody's gonna steal these things.
Is this place near you?

Actually, a friend will be bidding on both tomorrow. We were hoping it would stay relatively quiet. Then somebody sent it to BaT this morning and now it's here!

Oh well, I need another car like I need a .....

You don't need to worry about me bidding

But seriously, anything odd or unique seems to go crazy high at Miedema anyway.

That 356 must be something special that I don't recognise, it looks like $300 worth of scrap metal to me. Either that or prices on these went meteoric while I wasn't looking. $24k bought a nice, dry, "driver quality" 356 coupe last time I checked.

Its a very good candidate for resto, not too far gone, and it is a Pre-A.

Bent-windsheild pre-a coupe

But yeah, I remember 4-5 years ago there were a couple tatty "driver" quality 356B coupes that seemed to be constantly cycling on ebay for ~15k.

I love 356 coupes, even more than the cabrios.

It would be interesting to know the history on that car. I wonder if those vent slits behind the front wheel well were meant to let air out of the wheel wells, or bring air into the cockpit.

Re: that barn find 356... for about the same money, check out this '70 914-6 that recently showed up in "P-Cars for Sale":

FS 1970 914-6, s/n 9140432229

speeder · speeder's Garage

I'd say that's way too much for 914-6. They're cool cars but never caught on in a big way, not when new or ever since. They're not exactly fast. $20k+ should buy an original mint one with no issues.

speeder · speeder's Garage

BTW, if you think I'm opinionated about politics, don't get me started on cars.

kach22i · kach22i's Garage

914's are cool and I like them, but I'd take a kit car speedster over one.

CurtEgerer · CurtEgerer's Garage

Lancia sold at $7675; BMW sold at $6025. Both were 'well-used'. Probably OK deals, but who knows what anything is worth in today's market.
