First start in 19 years - abandoned Alfa Romeo 75

[@iacopotuttino5515]

The 75 is literally my dream car! I will own one day a twin spark model! Great save, always worth to save old Alfas

[@studiocalder818]

Pensa che quando ho sostituito la mia 75 1.8 ie con una TS, piuttosto che venderla ho preferito regalare la vecchia ie su internet, col patto di conservazione, piuttosto che venderla (allora valeva 2 milioni di lire, circa). Ricevetti richieste anche dal Perù; alla fine è andata a Vicenza. Regalata. Era il 2000. Ci sono rimasto un po' male quando, alcuni anni dopo, lui l'ha rivenduta a un ex carabiniere...

I have a 1988 Alfa Romeo Milano 2.5 busso V6 Automatic! Same color as yours. Greetings from St Louis MO USA! I have posted a couple videos of my car. It has a little over 200,000 miles! It runs, but it now needs a fuel pump. Nice videos of the Alfa's!

Altro salvataggio lodevole Bravo 👏 Posseggo una 1.6 carburatori, mi regala sempre un bel sorriso ad ogni giro 🖐

[@rayborg7378]

Happy memories of a car like this.Wonderful engine fine handling, and a gear change which took a little to master.This model was a to be Alfa Romeo last RWD car, the last of the Alfetta family.

Beautiful video and beautiful car; greetings from Italy!

Thank you!

17:47 Mr.Hulot's holiday (Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot. 1953) came to mind with that engine misfiring sound.

[@Michalis.-]

Please, restore this beuty it is sad watching it die in the field!

[@marcopruna8458]

E si è proprio lei,fatto bene a salvarla, quella fu la vera ultima alfa romeo. Ci sara ' parecchio lavoro

[@fritsified5952]

Check distributor (clean contacts inside), spark plug wires and spark plugs. Its definitely running on 2 or maybe 3 cylinders. Very cool find, just be prepared for the state of the body. Hope you can restore it!

[@Rick356A]

Good bit of fun with an interesting old car, the seat covers just add to the fun!!!

[@garagedilettante1128]

Exactly my thoughts!

[@MLC...]

I am looking forward to see how you save this beauty. Thanks for making the video.

[@garagedilettante1128]

Thank you! Your comment means a lot to me!

[@studiocalder818]

The real question is: how is it possible to abandon an Alfa 75 for 19 years??! It's so enjoyable and emotional to drive!

[@garagedilettante1128]

I guess 19 years ago it was just an ordinary old car… and since it’s an early carburated version, it wasn’t loved by the enthusiasts like V6 or TS

[@ainizae]

Oj kaip noreciau tau padovanoti daugiau laiko tokiem projektam :D is savo perspektyvos zinau, kiek tai imlu laikui :D stiprybes, ir laukiu kito video :D

Šitas užvedimas ištsitęsė 3 šeštadienių popietes! Stengiuosi skirti laiko, kad judėti į priekį. Šiemet 75 tikrai nebus pabaigta, bet norėčiau padaryti reikšmingą progresą!

I would get some engine mounts, nice car!

[@Thomas-ul3uy]

It's sad to see such neat cars that Alfa Romeo built, and they rust so badly. It would be recommended to remove the spark plugs and spray lubricant in the cylinders to make sure not moving dry rings on the cylinder walls.

[@garagedilettante1128]

You’re right, but don’t tell anyone 🤫, I won’t be using this engine

[@geppiemockingbird1489]

You might want to check the engine oil before starting the engine, rather than afterwards 😉

[@garagedilettante1128]

but I did check it before starting engine...

You might want to watch the video before commenting. It's the second thing he did.

[@alstonrob]

so who cut the grass underneath the car in the 19 years...........

[@garagedilettante1128]

Just like I wrote in video description - the car spent 18 years in the barn and 1 year ago I bought it and transported it to this location. And anyway, the grass is not growing under the car due to the lack of sun.

[@tomscotland]

Umm, you know grass won’t grow without light, warmth and water, right?

That Alfa 75 model is 1.6 I'm not mistaken that type of engine is not very powerful I don't restore it it's not convenient if it was a 1.8 at least yes the advice I can give you take it to the dump Alessandro from Rome

[@garagedilettante1128]

Compared to modern cars, all 75s with any engine, even V6, are slow. I do this for the memories, not for the money. Cheers!
