I love watching the Russian (Ukrainian, Lithuanian etc) panel beaters on YT. They'd have a red hot go at sorting it.

One presumes the biohazard may have originated in the owner's trousers, or possibly the driver was killed in it.

Edit: Biohazard (in this context) explained. (http://auction.ridesafely.com/faqs/what-does-biohazard-mean-on-a-car-auctions/)

on a positive note you would have to say it looks like the occupants survived
the shell seems intact
and that motor has to be worth at least $5000

Definitely should have paid the $US550, and trousered the $13,450.

I think the rad and intercooler could probably be had free of charge ...

Interesting that the ad optimistically suggests it would be compatible with pretty much every Alfa since 1970. Imagine shoehorning that into a 4C, or better still, a Mito or 147? Or my '81 GTV. Sweeeeeet....
