Old Alfa's seem to have an unfounded reputation for being unreliable but they are mechanically quite strong. They like to be driven hard. They were prone to rust like many cars of the era and electrical issues are typically just grounds that need to be cleaned up. They really are fun to drive and they get under your skin. ALFA stands for Always Looking For Another!
@@NeurodivergentSuperiority always looking for another Alfa... I've had around 9 or 10. I've had a lot of other brands of cars too... AMG's, M cars, Maserati etc but keep coming back to them.
They will never do it. They are Good Ol' Boys that have zero idea or respect for what culture and heritage is, especially Italian culture. Anything outside of their world of Camaros and V8s they know not how to appreciate. Hell they'd never even seen a 1970s, 1980s or 1990s American market Alfa before.
The TH-cam algorithm, in its infinite wisdom, has just made me discover this video. Well, you've definitely earned a new subscriber, an Alfa Romeo enthusiast and historian from Italy, where these were common and are now loved collectors' cars. I'm glad you've saved this Alfetta from the scrapheap, as it definitely deserved to live again. The fuel injection system was made by Spica, then a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alfa Romeo. It was very clever and sophisticated for its era, allowing Alfa Romeo to comply with USA emissions regs while maintaining good performance. If you want to learn more about Alfa Romeo's history, my own channel is full of quality Alfa-related content. Cheers from Italy!
I think all those bmw and the alfa were from an estate sale and the owner probably did n’y touch them for years before passing away. The family probably did the fastest thing possible to get rid of those old rusty cars.. junk em!
Because theyre not as bad as all the stories (usually told by non Alfa owners) tell. The 116 series are not complicated and quite well engineering design imo.
That car is special...Please don`t turn it into some garage build, racing bull shit. That needs to be restored... probably more than the Porsche. You just don`t find them any more. If you screw this up , lots of people will hate you for that....
Hey Michael, that was excellent! Alfa Romeo is a very important name in motor history. Maybe you can strip this car down and repaint it and fix the interior.
Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of Italian engineering :) here in the UK Alfas used to be a reasonably common sight but like most things they are really not designed for our soggy climate and most had rusted out inside of a decade. I still occasionally see them parked up on a driveway or field, usually covered in moss and with rust holes big enough to fit your whole fist through. As others have said, you have a fantastic local junkyard that's a great source of classic Euro stuff, with just the right amount of patina to add to the historical interest without being completely rotted out and beyond hope lol. Nice collection you have there. I came for the 911 build (which is looking incredible btw) but stayed for the rusty stuff... definitely my favourite 'shade tree mechanic' channel!
I am not an Alfa Romeo guy, but those cars you will understand after owning them. They have certainly a lot of character and style. Just the engine noise gives me already a big smile on my face
I mean, blue would be awesome. That is probably the only alfa that does not look good in Rosso Alfa. It was meant to be more sophisticated than the average Alfa Romeo. Back in the day here in Italy, if people drived around in FIATs, that Alfa was your manager's car.
As a life long Alfisti it's great to see newbies discovering the uniqueness of Alfas in general and Alfetta sedans in particular. Our family has owned over 50 Alfas and at least 12 of those were Alfetta GTVs or sedans. The few missteps with the suspected valve and the boat tank for fuel delivery were entertaining. I laughed when he said he couldn't bleed the rear brakes. I'd bet a lot of transaxle alfa don't have functioning rear brakes. Those rear calipers are FU'd. FYI, gas smell in the oil may indicate a leaking seal in the fuel injection pump. The last part was a classic Alfa experience. They couldn't stop smiling while driving. Please do a follow up video once it gets more sorted.
My Italian neighbors up the street (the Frigos) had the same car and I used to ride in the back seat of it to high school prior to having my drivers license. Hearing it run and drive brought back many memories. Thanks for reviving it.
I love Alfa’s out all periods. Currently I own an 156, but as far as I know, this one is not available in US. However, you should restore this nice Alfa! It,s a historic cultural asset.
seems like the right time to teach the kids "righty tighty, lefty loosey" start em young and they never forget. reminds me of helping my dad in the farm shop when I was but a tyke.
My teacher used to tell me (1982) Towards you tightening.... away from you loosening. You had to be right handed and after a few knocks on the head. I will never forget it.. Mr Rogers or as we called him Buck Rogers....R.I.P.....
Keep this lil gem! Do a light resto on it keep it as original as you can and enjoy it for the summer! Im sure we will ALL enjoy it with you! Top work from the UK.
Look at you grin from ear to ear :-) These cars have a cuore sportivo. They have a heart in the first place. I am glad you found this and talk about it
Yes, the Alfettas have rear transaxle with inboard rear brakes. Many owners replaced the Spica fuel injection with Weber carburators. Great car by the way!
I had one of those in South Africa in the 1970's !!! Twin Dellorto carbs (no injection), 1800 cc, rear transaxle and clutch to try to balance the weight, inboard rear disks. It went like crazy !!! Thanks for the memories, and thanks for saving this one from scrapyard death.
I had the use of this car back in 1986. Fantastic car! Instead of fuel injection like this one, it had twin de lotto carbs which is a pain to tune and get it balanced. There are other idiosyncrasies which adds to the charm of this car like the rear positoned gearbox and rear disc brakes which is attached to the gearbox! A pain in the butt to change the rear brake pads :) But the overall balance of the car and power is superb. Please save this Italian classic.
Hello guys from Chile, I've been following you since you started AND I must congratulations on saving cars instead of destroying them like other youtubers. Those alfa Romeo are very fine pieces of machinery, with a lot of Racing pedigree, you're the first american youtubers ive seen to do an Alfa Romeo, PLEASE restore it, you will be rewarded with views, the future price of the car and by its amazing driving feeling, TOO MANY BMW's in TH-cam, and they are not as nearly engineered as these
That is a de dion rear suspension. It gives you one of the finest handling cars you can imagine. It's expensive and its a bit heavy, but it's quality. In a perfect world that Alfetta should be restored. It's a little peach, and quite rare.
the Alfetta here in Italy, due to its performances, was used by the police and also by criminals in the 70s! The version destined to the USA had the SPICA mechanical injection and the catalyst for 111 hp while the italian version had 2 double-barrel Weber carburetors and no cat for 130 hp. Really nice and fun to drive car!
Another great build!! When I got my X1/9 it was a non running Kars-4-Kids donation headed for the scrapyard. The gas I syphoned out was darker than Coke!! Thanks for all the videos.
In Europe at least, that car would have some significant value - from the classic Alfa romeo era, especially as a life in California may have helped keep the dreaded rust at bay.
I love your channel. You save the oddballs that no one else messes with. I like seeing cars that I have never seen or worked on before. I like learning new things as well.
Alfa’s are so quirky. I had a ‘77 Alfasud which had inboard front discs. They were all about drivability and handling. Some had rear mounted gearboxes to spread the weight. They all sounded great though, DOHC Italian engines always had a raspy sound. Great video 💪🏻
The Alfetta is the most underrated Alfa classic, basically a sedan version of the GTV. Been wanting one for a while now. This seems like a good one with how easy it was to get it back to life.
This was bittersweet to watch! My father used to have the Coupe version Alfetta GT, hatchback, with the 1800 cc 121 HP engine with two double carburetors ( yes, one per cylinder) which was pretty difficult to adjust so we had to clean the sparkplugs all the time, especially in the wintertime. After the GT we drove an Alfetta 2.0, basically the same body yours has, but with a different front and rear styling, with big rectangle headlamps. This one had 130 horsepower, still the same twin double carburetors and sounded pretty much like yours, just not that clinky-clanky, lol. Love your channel, go on! Greetings from Germany, Mark
I was proud you used an SK socket. I worked secondary operation drill press and worked on plenty of SK sockets when I worked my way through college at their factory on the southside of Chicago. Lifetime guarantee.
Made me into a believer, such a neat car! Sounds and pulls amazing! I just want to say also, as a dad who tinkers also, you have a crazy amount of patience, I could never get anything done with my rugrats around.
Wow !, wish we had this kind of thing sitting in scrapyards here in the U.K., it’s so hard to find these kinds of cars over here as they’ve all rusted away long ago and those that haven’t are silly money and in even worse condition than yours. I love Alfa’s, I own 3, so this is fantastic to see. You should definitely restore this or sell it to someone who will. Fantastic find and great video, as always.
Compliments! You found a nice car, completely original in all its components and with not so much rust. Your Alfetta has a sofisticate machanical injection system by Italian Spica, not easy to find the spare parts for it but you can replace by 2 double body carburators. I appreciated the respect for the engine during the first start up: new oil, gentle warm up. Nice
Hi guys. Yes the alfetta was a great sedan. My father had an 2000 series ( 2 liters) around the years 83,84. And with such a car you were able to drive from France to Spain or Portugal easily.
Love these old Alfas! You have to restore it there are probably less than a thousand of them left as they were terrible rust buckets but sublime driver cars.
The vibration sound is probably from the driveline, the driveshaft rotates at the engine speed. There are 3 rubber donut couplers (Guibo) that perish quite frequently, the one closer to the engine goes bad first. I owned a 79 Alfetta, you will love this.
Congratulations on the video. I restored a 2000 alfetta saloon from 1976 originally sold in california and brought to Portugal by a portuguese immigrant. I have good memories of this car that unfortunately I sold.
I’m so impressed with your perseverance and resourcefulness. Between BMW, Porsche and now Alfa. Your really evolving this channel. But what happened w the 320’s now that they are runners?
![ILLSLICK - WINTER IS COMING [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dwTMeM1zIhQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Please save this Alfetta, it really deserves it and will pay it back with a lot of fun!
This days those Alfas are collectors items .. can bring money if restored well.
You should have put a V8 in it
Color matches the 911 nicely
How about you do it instead of trying to recruit people to do something.
A Porsche and an Alfaholic. You have the best junkyard in the country.
And 2 decents beemers

Alfas absolutely rock. My favorite of what you've done and increasingly rare. Make something cool out of it.
You find the coolest old euro cars. Would be nice to see a full restore on this Alfa
I was thinking the same, or at least just get her cleaned up and driving well, maybe some simple mods.
This deserves a nice resto!
They will never do it. They are Good Ol' Boys that have zero idea or respect for what culture and heritage is, especially Italian culture.

How did that just happen? A junkyard Alfa Romeo that runs and drives? And pretty well, at that! I’m blown away. What a hoot!
thats exactly what I was thinking!!!!
I think all those bmw and the alfa were from an estate sale and the owner probably did n’y touch them for years before passing away. The family probably did the fastest thing possible to get rid of those old rusty cars.. junk em!
And not suffering too badly from tin worm.
Because theyre not as bad as all the stories (usually told by non Alfa owners) tell. The 116 series are not complicated and quite well engineering design imo.
This is the type of car. You take your time, and fully restore.. Even if it takes 20 more yrs..
Yes! Don't make a racecar out of it. And keep the color!!!
@@matthiasguthner5776 The original color inside the engine compartment was red.
Definitely want to see a restore. Came here for the Porsche restore like many others. Want more of content like that, and not quick flips please!
Agreed 100%. That's what I doing with mine!
That car is special...Please don`t turn it into some garage build, racing bull shit. That needs to be restored... probably more than the Porsche. You just don`t find them any more. If you screw this up , lots of people will hate you for that....
I've spent most of my childhood in late 70s early 80s inside Alfas, my dad loved them. Very cool build.
This is one of best Alfa ever, in my opinion. An Alfetta in a good shape has amazing handling and roadholding
Hey Michael, that was excellent! Alfa Romeo is a very important name in motor history. Maybe you can strip this car down and repaint it and fix the interior.
That is a great find, it would be great to see it restored and resprayed the original red.
That must be one of the few survivors that did not rust away. Worth saving.
...or burn to the ground with their suspect wiring :)
Show me a 45 years old Mercedes that did not rust.
@@pt020 exactly
The sound of that engine is amazing.
Makes you wonder how many old rides are scraped for no reason. Always enjoy!!!!!
for the 50th bazillionth time, I call dibs on this when It's time to sell!
But judging by the smile on your face, this might be a keeper, huh?
That car is RARE and extremely VALUABLE. This needs a complete restoration. In Europe those go for CRAZY money
Not worth a lot yet. There is a running one here in Warrenton with a parts car included for $2500. Very under rated.

Alfa’s are great.. I had one for 28 years. Nice to see you guys enjoying it
Sweet car with a sweet engine! That "Bi-albero" has an unique sound!
Full restoration? With a "Rosso Alfa" paintjob? 😎😁
Amen......!!!!!!

Biscione green is good too. Plus my all time favourite - Le Mans blue
Lovely BMWs and classic Alfa, you really know how to pick interesting cars
Beautiful Bialbero!! Congratulations to bring this back to life again!!
Totally agreed
Why do those old Italian cars always sound like little race cars, I love it! What a gem
because oversquare high revving engines
Go found out about Fiat 1.3 16 valve engines. Then we can keep going this conversation

Great! Here in Europe- these Alfas getting high in value! Love how your kids are helping...
Alfa’s are so quirky. I had a ‘77 Alfasud which had inboard front discs. They were all about drivability and handling. Some had rear mounted gearboxes to spread the weight. They all sounded great though, DOHC Italian engines always had a raspy sound. Great video 💪🏻
Cuteness overload! I need some more helpers! You are Truly blessed Brother!
The Alfetta is the most underrated Alfa classic, basically a sedan version of the GTV. Been wanting one for a while now. This seems like a good one with how easy it was to get it back to life.

''What a fun little car''
Funny to hear that, here in Italy when it came out was considered a medium/full-size sedan.
Love these old Alfas! You have to restore it there are probably less than a thousand of them left as they were terrible rust buckets but sublime driver cars.
That Alfetta was originally "Rosso Alfa" or Alfa Red, resprayed in the original colour will look amazing! 😁
