Here's a Lotus that's screaming to have a roatary put in it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lotus-Europa-/110725241609?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&ha...

Man...

Serious restoration project Alfa here, but oh, the potential. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Alfa-Romeo-2000-GTV-/110724731333?pt=US_Cars_Trucks...

I kinda doubt that this Super is cheap enough,but who knows... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1967-Alfa-Romeo-Giulia-Super-105-series-/1405896504...

I can tell you how to set this Spider up http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/weber-carburators-/250871712979?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&a...

There's about a .01% chance this ends below $2000, but if it does, it's worth it. Even if you want to cut it up.

One of a few Fiat Spiders on e-bay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1985-Fiat-124-Spider-/250868770535?pt=US_Cars_Truck...

And an X19

Isn't this what a Yugo is based off of?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1976-FIAT-128-COUPE-/290591315975?pt=US_Cars_Trucks...

Another doubtful that it will end sub $2000, but we had one of these when I was a kid http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1968-Fiat-850-Coupe-/120761109521?pt=US_Cars_Trucks...

Wasn't John Brown looking for a car that needed and LS? Well, yea, kinda obvious, but it would apply...

Or this one
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1984-chevrolet-corvet-/180708022944?pt=US_Cars_Truc...

That should keep a few here up a night for a few days.

I really don't feel right being a car guy and not owning an alfa yet (or a fiat for only a week)

That's ok, there's plenty of us who have multiples to "loan" for a week.

Having owned one neither do I, unless you want a car that drives like a miata and it only worth $1k even after you spent $10k on it. lol

I have to ask. Does the Europa handle well enough to get past the excessive amounts of ugly?
Yeah, I know it's a Lotus but man is it ugly.
