It was designed by Holden in Adelaide Australia. Probably a great engine, but I like my Alfa Romeos to have Italian engines. I think the chassis of this model is GM/Saab tooWhat's with the engine? Non Alfa Romeo?
I'll keep it for you. Since it's 15 years old and legal for road use here, I'll even drive it for you so it stays in shape.Buy it and throw it in storage in Canada until you can import it!lol
Gas at Costco here in SoCal is around $4.60 for 91, although I did see $6.50 in LA on Friday. Yikes.Oof, pricey fuel. Right now we are running along about $4.25-4.50/gallon for premium here in the Seattle area. East coast is lower by ~$0.50 where we were visiting in New England (always depending of course), and in California they seem to be running about $5/6 per gallon I guess, according to the news.
Turns out the prices are very high because the worldwide oil companies reduced their production because of the pandemic and the expected lower demand; and now that demand is up, they have jacked the prices clear out of sight. Why? Because they can. They control the market and prices.
Not really into big engines as well, but got this car in a fantastic sweetheart deal, and wanted to try something a little different than our Alfas. Very different for sure. Doesn't get driven much, though.
Pushrods work very well, just not "modern", lol.
