Price: USD $229,5001963 Lancia Flaminia Sport Zagato Matching Numbers
This 1963 Lancia Flaminia Sport Zagato 3C coupe is a numbers-matching car in wonderful condition throughout with a gorgeous body. Silver-gray, with nice and original cream leather interior. It drives great with a very strong-running original engine and driveline. Purchased new in Milano, the car still has its 1963 ACI (Automobile Club dItalia) sticker affixed to the rear of the inside rear-view mirror. The car soon made it into the hands of Howard Pfitzman, a noted Lancia aficionado in London who was to keep the car for @40 years. The car was known by many Lancia enthusiasts to be in Mr. Pfitzmans hands, but all knew that he had always said that he would never sell that car. This held true until an American collector arrived at the Pfitzman residence one day, just at the right time, and made a generous cash offer for the car with cash in hand. Interestingly, the transaction was made and, as the two men awaited the arrival of the lorry to collect the Lancia, Mrs. Pfitzman appeared on the scene and strongly voiced her opinion that the car would not leave. She, in fact, laid down in front of the garage and refused to give the truck access to the car. Sometime later, following much husband/wife animated discussion, the car left and was shipped to the USA where it has remained in a collection for over 20 years.
Only 599 Zagato-bodied Flaminias were built by the incredibly respected design house, Zagato who has built some of the most famous, fabulous and exotic bodies for luxury and sports cars. In rallies around the world, many Lancias could be seen with fabulous Zagato bodies. In 1959, a Sport Coupe was brought to the foreground by Zagato. Curvaceous, elegant and sporting at the same time, the Lancia Flaminia Sport Zagato coupe was one of those wonderful Italian sport touring cars, the sight of which excited automobile aficionados around the world then and now. Powered by Lancia?s own highly respected alloy 2.5 litre V-6 engine, the cars were quick, handled beautifully and were of the highest quality with their all-alloy bodies, the Sport incorporated the famous Double-Bubble design to the roof. Introduced with a single Solex carburetor, later twin carburetors replaced the single unit (the 2C) and eventually 3 Weber carburetors were offered (the 3C) increasing horsepower and performance. A rare opportunity to own a piece of automotive history.
