eBay Motors: Alfa Romeo : 166 (item 300180050232 end time Dec-16-07 14:01:00 PST)
Interesting to see all of the Autodelta badging on it.
At $22,000, it seems like a decent car for the money. Too bad servicing it would be a bit more difficult... not to mention registering it.
Here is a small newspaper article about Autodelta USA. Also note that all cars that they imported were to be exported or crushed.

A father and son were arrested yesterday on federal charges of illegally importing Italian-made Alfa Romeo sports cars that did not meet federal safety and air quality standards.
Carlo Giordano, 66, and his son, Alessandro Giordano, 25, both of Nashville, were indicted last week on charges of defrauding the government by making false statements that the vehicles were legal in the United States, said Debra W. Yang, U.S. attorney for the Central District of California.
The elder Giordano is owner and president of Nashville-based Autodelta USA Inc., and his son serves as the company's manager of operations. No Tennessee phone listings could be found for the men or the company and they could not be reached for comment.
According to the indictment, which originated in California, where officials said some of the cars were sold, the Giordanos would travel to Europe to purchase the cars.
Authorities think the men sold or offered to sell about two dozen of the Alfa Romeos, including three in Orange County, Calif.
The men also face seven counts of wire fraud and three counts of making false statements in documents required by the Clean Air Act.
If convicted, they could receive a maximum sentence of five years in prison for each of the 11 charges.
Autodelta also could face fines of more than $5 million.
