Welcome aboard

Now there's a leap if there ever was one.

Now you've got better than a 50/50 chance of the car starting and not catching on fire. Not to mention head room.

Around 500 ft. lbs.

A Giulietta has about 2 ft. lbs.

Welcome. I think the alfa would fit in the trunk of that beauteous beast.

The correct terminolgy would be "Land Yacht", Terra Yacht ;latin, "A term to describe a hulking behemoth of an automobile that will not fit in normal parking spaces or garages and resembles a large seagoing vessel or barge."

well a guillietta may only have about 2 ftlbs stock, but it only ways about 1 lb anyways! my dad actually has two of them, they are incredibly fun, especially with sperry stage 3 heads.

can anyone point me to a good online vendor for parts?

land yacht, should i paint that on the back?
