The only things I know of that are no longer made for V6 alfas are a few of the transaxle parts, clutch throwout bearings (at least last time I checked), and lifters. I can't think of anything else important that you can't get anymore. A 3.0 swap can be easy if you have the right parts, but if you don't then bolting the RWD flywheel to the crank can require being creative.

Thankfully I know better than to go anywhere near those local GTV6 cars. And I don't have a truck/trailer or a place to keep them. Whew!

I had one but was underwhelmed upon ownership. Felt like a worse handling worse transmission better sounding 240sx really.

If you can get one for cheap go for it, people are asking too much for good examples though to where they are off my list permanently unless it's a 3.0l swap.

When I had mine I loved it and really want to get another one. Get it, and if nothing else you will have some good stories to tell.

This is what I had suspected and thus kills my boner for the sexy Italian. I'll listen to the soundtrack of the engine on Forza 4 instead. And other video sources.

I also saw this one when it was posted on FB... I tried to message the seller, but I haven't heard back yet. I'm only probably 2 hours away, so if I ever hear anything I might go up and see what it's like. Looks like someone made a huge mess of the wiring, though, and some of the pics made it look like the rear suspension wasn't really centered on the body.

My real question is would he want to trade it for my SVX?

Update: The guy who posted it to facebook wants to see it saved, but it is not his. His boss is the one trying to sell it apparently, and the asking price is $3k with a bit of wiggle room.
