    Be patient with it. Restore it to its original form, not an easy task I believe. Anyway, it’s a great car. And red is the best. Congrats!

    Great cars! They make awesome winter cars. Front wheel drive, with studded snow tires they go anywhere!

    At least it's a manual 164. An automatic busso is a nonsense. I had three 164s by the way. I miss them, so good luck with yours.

      I've owned two 1995 164 Quadrifoglio Verdis. [All 164 QVs were equipped with 5-speed manuals only. The 164 Q4 (a QV with all-wheel-drive) had a 6-speed manual.] The first (red over black) purchased new in 1995 and the used one (white over black) in 2013. They are definitely NOT "little" cars ... LOL! It was the very last Alfa developed before Fiat took over. For its time, it was quite fast, stunningly handsome, and the Busso provided beautiful Italian music! Today, I drive a 2018 Giulia Ti Sport Q2, metallic-white over red. Life's too short not to drive an Alfa Romeo!

      ​@@wallacem41atgmail Verdis were the family of the famous Italian music composer 😂 It's verde, which you don't put in the plural. The 164 is a medium sized cars out of Europe, therefore small indeed.

      @@nessuno5403 I know very well who "Joseph Green" was. I was making an American-English plural. My first Alfa Romeo was a 1969 Type 105 1750 Spider Veloce, purchased new. My second was a 1974 Type 115 Berlina 2000, also purchased new. Compared to the Berlina the 164 seemed huge although its size was comparable to a BMW 5er or MB E-Class of the time. At the time of purchase of the 164, my daily driver was a 1986 Jeep Cherokee although nearly as wide as the 164 was shorter than the Spider.

    The oil pressure senders fail usually.They get lazy as oil gets past the diaphragm. There is a fix and someone in AROC will know it, but a new one is probably better if you can get one.

    As with any old car way past its use by date (manufacturer), a well cared for one owner car from a car nut is the one to buy.
    It may cost more initially but ownership will be painless.
    Buy a cheap one and you can expect big bills over many years spoiling the experience thats how you dodge a bullet.

    l'auto è la mia macchina preferita ma probabilmente ne ho abbastanza solo per una punto abarth fino a quando non avrò 18 anni perché le 164 3.0 qui costano molto più che in america

    Could have put some cardboard or bedsheets on the nice leather rather than just putting wheels as done.

    It's not an Alfa if there isn't at least one dashboard light on. Sometimes the airbag light is just a bad connection below the passenger seat, and the labs sensor can sometimes be cleared by giving the wheels a good wash..... (but not always)

    So was the mixed up WAZE map the reason Knoxville relocated to southwest of Chattanooga? :-)
