Nicolas Sarkozy did it, and now so can you. Offered up on the Manhattan Craigslist is a not-for-U.S.-consumption Alfa Romeo 166. The 166 is Alfa’s big sedan, having replaced the 164 – which was sold here – in 1998. Powered by Alfa’s sweet, sweet 225-bhp 3.0-litre V6, this 2003 edition is knocking on your door at 2 AM – wearing nothing but a slip and high heels – asking you to help her, and if she could spend the night. Puuuuurrrrrrrr.
Probably brought over by a diplomat or Russian drug king-pin, it’s now offered up for only $8,500 American and could easily be your nightmare of licensing and bureaucratic red tape daylight mistress. It’s sporting the Super package which includes MOMO leather on the thrones, and every soon to fail electronic accessory the Italians could loosely bolt into it.
Not having a clue how to get this beauty past California’s smog cops, I’m erasing the ad’s phone number from my iPhone and am not going to look at the ad again. Oh god, I accidentally looked at it, MUST. HAVE. ILLICIT. ALFA!

No problem. Just slap a pair of Chrysler wings across the front and you'll have 'er legal in no-time flat. Hell, the DMV drones here have allowed lowered & winged last-gen F-bodies to get "Farm Use Only" tags, so I'm sure they wouldn't bat an eye at some slightly fudged paperwork.

Stylistically, that snout is a big ol' serving of "MEH".

Wow! This thing is amaz0rz. Do we have anyone at Hooniverse that has bought one of these Red Tape Specials before? I am curious about how bad it could be. I imagine pretty bad.

The third tag is for what Sarkozy did. Looks like a nice ride.

I am sure hope the Feds who ferried all those Skylines back to the waterfront don't read Hooniverse.
I'm sorry, but no car is worth going to jail for. -
Any chance this could find sanctuary at a Chrysler dealership?

I won't have nearly the finances required for this for a while, and by then I'll be worried about a far more important European import. I'll gladly take those seats, though… mmm…

Hey, thanks for posting.. I enjoyed reading it.

I do agree with all of the ideas you have presented in your post. They’re very convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are very short for starters. Could you please extend them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.
