1972 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super Restoration

1972 Alfa Romeo Giulia Super Restoration Project

[@dirkdutzmann9250]

Unglaublich, fantastisch, perfekt! Es muß einen triftigen Grund geben solch ein Auto zu verkaufen!?

[@53bmosca]

E' bello sapere che l'Alfa Romeo sia amata anche fuori dall'Italia!!!

[@ThePablito1983]

buen trabajo

[@winemanboy]

Love it! I have a 1969 Giulia Super almost completely restored...and I just bought a 1969 Spyder boat tail for $1.00. Needs about $5,000 but I can't wait to start work on it.

[@iosono007]

Grande la Tua Giulia, COMPLIMENTI !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ndg42]

eternal italian pride

[@greygtv6]

Wow. First class restoration of one of Alfa's finest. I hope you've painted the radiator by now.

[@massimilianobampi8645]

My father in the 70 s had One new Giulia super 1300 cc rip colour gray

[@quars3528]

This is not a restore. It's an abuse !! Leave the car genuine like father did them.

[@massimoarnaboldi3177]

Grande auto,purtroppo i restauri sono sempre costosi...

[@massimilianobampi8645]

Super work body repair testoration

[@edgaro8905]

So long ago, my first Alfa Romeo was a 67 Guilia Super 1600, then a 69 Spyder, 71 Berlina 1750 & 72 Berlina 2000. So long ago.

[@72ARSuper]

I've been without my Super for eight years now, I've start slowly looking for another Alfa...

[@edgaro8905]

Bring a trailer.com had 67 giulia super 1600. restored $33k.. looked great.

[@manos3790]

I'd like to enquire about the cost of such a project? I've a 1967 Alfa Berlina 1750 in white purchased through E-bay for approx $5,200. I think I paid a bit over the top? It's solid enough, it'll prob need a new door skin and the sills repaired/replaced. For a full mech'l rebuild and bare metal re-spray, I've been quoted $22,000. This is from a very reputable restoration specialist in the U.K.known as 'Alfaholics'.In your opinion is it worth the expense?

[@72ARSuper]

@alfakenpo Hi, The original limiting strips were to short with performance springs, they allowed to much suspension travel. As for the new straps, I can't tell you a thing, as the guys helping me put the car back together, had them made. I offer to out and measure them for, but alas, I sold the car a month ago.

[@modelleg]

nice job...enjoy.

[@alfakenpo]

Nice video and documenting can you share details about the limiting strap. I have IAP red springs and Koni Yellows on a GTV 74 Bertone . Are the original straps not effective? I would appreciate any details you can share on the benefits and installation location and the part number for the straps. Thanks

[@72ARSuper]

Thanks for the comment. And yes it is SoCal, on the coast about half way between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. The pictures at the end of the video were taken at a winery northeast of LA near Lancaster.

[@ThomasBromehead]

Super example. Top notch restoration and must be lots of fun chucking around the track. Whereabout in Cali are you from? Lived in Palo Alto for several years, though scenery looks more like SoCal. Alifisti Saluti from France

[@simon100674]

beautiful job, but because instead of the white, you have not used the ROSSO ALFA,(in ITALY it is the color of the sporting autos the red, and to her time they made the ROSSO ALFA)she would have given the correct sporting touch to the car. However good job, and I am happy that also in USA there are people that love the True cars. P.S. - my father to always driven ALFA, up to when the Fiat has not removed from the cars the back traction, an unique value of the autos built to ARESE.

[@72ARSuper]

I got a real good deal on the body work, considering what they ended up doing with my parts car, less than $4000US (but it wasn't a "show" quality job). The complete interior (not original) was about $4500US. And misc stuff totaled about $3000US. All told, I was into the project about $25,000US, which includes the purchase of the car itself. I'm familiar with the work from Alfaholics, and the estimate they gave you seems vary reasonable. But make sure you ask them how long it will take.

[@JULIAN8845]

I had two of these one with a 2000berlina engine. did you know there are several sizesof the twin headlamp rings

[@OvermarsDaria]

Bellissima restorazione ma non capisco perche non l' hai verniciata di colore rosso invece di un patetico bianco

[@72ARSuper]

Thanks for the comments. As for the color, I redid the car in the original white.  Sadly, though, I no longer own the car, I sold it almost two years ago, and I've regretted it ever since, it was fun to drive through the canyons in Southern California.

[@72ARSuper]

Thanks for the comments. This particular car was brought over from Italy in 1999 by a previous owner. I'm not sure how many Giulia Sedans are in the US, but it's not to many. I see more of them on the track than I do on the street. I believe they were only imported for sale from 1964 to 1967. They were much more popular in your part of the world.

[@manos3790]

Thanks very much for your advice and as you've almost condoned 'Alfaholics', I think I'll go the whole hog and get a gleaming restoration job done? As I don't think it'll last too many more winters on my drive, before I'll be sweeping it up LOL

[@72ARSuper]

@666RiffsOfDeth666 Haven't replaced it yet, might try something other than an Alfa. The music in the video are two tracks from the Sean Connery movie "Medicine Man".

[@madk4speed]

Congratulations. This is a beautiful Alfa Romeo. Amazing soundtrack in the video. Can you share the title with us? I must admitt that i felt sorry about the red Giulia, and the process of combining 2 cars to get 1 made me sceptical. But the final results looks very nice indeed. It was very good to save such a car, and to see that people still appreciate it, admire it, love it. Greetings from Greece. P.S: This was one the best restorarion videos I have seen in KZbin. Again congratulations.

[@crimdell]

Nice video. It woud be great to see and hear the car in action. I love this car. I had a '72 Giulia 1300 when I was in the US Navy stationed in Sardinia back in the early 80's. Mine was in the shop about once a month it seemed, but I loved it. Great fun on those Sardinian roads.

[@jacopazzo99]

DAT STEERING WHEEL. pls get a Nardi or Motolita anyway, nice job ;)

[@yoesomite2199]

I don't knwo what it is about these cars, but at 8:19sec I had to pause the video. At that point it looks tough - yet beautiful - at the same time

[@72ARSuper]

@madk4speed Thanks for the comment. I gave credit for the music on the last of the video, but it does go by kinda fast. It happens to portions of two tracks from the soundtrack from the movie "Medicine Man" with Sean Connery.

[@warbirdtbf]

Beautiful car. Glad that the car was restored. I like the front of these cars. They look very sporty and elegant at the same time and I especially like the 'boxiness' of the car like the BMW 2002. Best regards.

[@crimdell]

@winemanboy Dude, that '69 Spyder is my dream car. Good luck with it. Do the work to the quality standards that it deserves.

[@72ARSuper]

@crimdell Thanks, it was my first video. As for seeing the car in action and hearing it, I don't own a video camera, and it would be rather hard for me to take a video of me driving the car, but I'll work on that.

[@72ARSuper]

@Gluvich Thanks for your comment. Not including the cost of the first car, I'm into the restoration for about $12000, or about 9229EUR.

[@alfakenpo]

Thanks for your reply and for posting the video as your explanation answers the suspension thump I was experiencing.

[@abbasibn1476]

Red color better

[@rubenvalente]

Lovely car mate, such an awsome choice. Just change the steering wheel, looks so wrong in this car! best regards

[@72ARSuper]

@TheTagzen Thanks for the comments. The engine mods were done by a previous owner - 2-litre replaced the 1.6, it's about half way between stock and full-race, but vary well behaved. I added the oil cooler, magnaflow exhaust, relocated the battery to the trunk, and several other things.

[@yy6114]

Certo originalissima sembra propio uscita da arese.. tanti anni fa si come.noooooo

[@modelleg]

Moloko Velocet!

[@72ARSuper]

@Pinin500 Thanks, I too would love to have a Right Hand Drive GTA, I've got a couple of friends that own them.

[@72ARSuper]

Thanks. But now I'm starting to look for another project, and try to do more of it myself vs hiring it done.

[@72ARSuper]

Thanks for the kind comment. I wish I still had the car, as I sold it almost two years ago. I kick myself in the but almost every day for doing it.

[@72ARSuper]

Thanks for the nice comments everyone, but I sold this car 5 years ago, but now wish I hadn't.

[@gessicafalaro8857]

you are american or your parents are italian?

[@72ARSuper]

Thank you Gianni. I wish now that I still had the car, I sold it this past December.
