Edit/update: look, another local one, supposedly ready to go and only $1500. https://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/d/1991-alfa-romeo/6749536286.html
The $1800 one below is also still available.
I talked to the guy about this, it does have the common stepper motor issue in the hvac system and when he says power steering leak he means MAJOR leak, but can drive it home with no steering assist if you've got the muscles. Aside from that it is perfect, 89k miles, clean interior, no rust.

I was interested at $2k but didn't have space for an immediate project to get the steering taken care of. Seems like a hell of a deal as he keeps dropping the price further.
Wait a minute, are there two other oddballs in the background, particularly the red one.
Is that a Laforza AND a Quattroporte?
This guy must be one hell of a masochist.
Too nice for what I want one for — an engine donor for an x1/9.
