1300lb of armour!  :o

It had want to be bullet proof, with that lot on board you sure as hell won't be running away from anyone soon.   ;D

All that effort to modify and Il Capo kept the poo-brown interior.

Good find.  That 2-door sedan mentioned, along with a grainy photo, looked interesting.  Sad it didn't get into production, from that photo it looked to have a nicely balanced profile. BMW did well with the 2-door 3 series too so perhaps another Alfa lost opportunity.
