[@jantelliquawallace355]

Who knew it would hold so much boost? I love quirky Italian stuff. Larry's lack of enthusiasm is hilarious.

[@okbutwhocares]

Honestly I think Larry was constantly trying to figure what to ask, because this is such an unusual car he knows very little about it

[@Bruhyeet42069]

i almost thought larry was high or something

Props to this guy. Interesting car and unique styling. I love it!

This dude is such a skilled fabricator. What a fantastic looking Alfa!

[@randellgribben9772]

skilled????lol

[@frankgile1996]

Man, this is so clean!!! As much as I love JDM cars, this really feels like a breath of fresh air... Obscure car, really talented owner/fabricator... What more can you ask for from an AutoFocus episode???

[@zp7126]

This is why this show is the best car show on KZbin

[@tylerwood67]

I love how proud the owner is of his work! You can tell he put a lot of time building to how he likes.

[@JizMadness]

Love how it low key looks like a Mazda cosmo. Crazy how it handles boost so well stock

[@MotoJetSetters]

Love unique cars, and this guy killed it in my opinion.

[@tihouss]

late to the party but I absolutely adore this. Also the owner doesn't want to use antilag in the street so it doesn't upset the neighbourhood, I appreciate that!

[@predsjednikvlade]

The classic Alfa Romeo is simply perfect - just love them. In my opinion, the car with the hard top on looks extremely good. Even though I am big fan of leaving the classic cars as original as it gets, this spider look really got. Nice job done to it.

[@lglagos2571]

Just watched this video and loved reading all the troll comments trashing this car, knowing that it’s currently on display at the New York Auto Show in the Javits Center where it deserves to be. Nice work, Anthony!

[@mauricecooper176]

Major cool points for being different and more cool points for Looking good while being different

[@individual1977]

That spider started as a Graduate model. Role up windows tells the tale. Also, it has the original "wide" seats as opposed to the narrow sport seat that were in the Veloce and Quadrifoglio models. It does have the Quad front/rear bumpers and side skirts. Head light covers are aftermarket.Factory hard top. Nice build. I like the rear lights better than the factory ones.

[@pdbnc]

I came here to be mad. But I can't hate it. This car is loved and shows a lot of creativity and talent. Shine on you crazy diamond.

[@MindDezign]

They were very popular in New England for some reason.always loved the instrument clusters and the door handles. This guy did alot of pioneering. Love the tail light treatment. The gated shifter he has Ferrari on his mind. Which Ferrari worked at Alfa and stole most of the creative force , to start Ferrari...so appropriate ! Great job doing things his way made a very unique Sports Car. Got to give him credit all the engine mods are one off. So a great engineering AND Design job ! BRAVO !

[@ZEPRATGERNODT]

Nice... My dad built a sick 1960 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint - Black and custom grilles made for the original grill spots, Ansen Slot Rims, Chevy 383, 700R4…galvanized pipe bumper painted black with chromed pipe cap ends…etc. Many other nice conversions and rods to go with it.

[@1emt95]

So awesome to see Anthony getting some attention, been watching his builds for years and glad hes getting recognition.

[@jean-pierrecayol4897]

What a beautiful work! Congrats for saving this Spider! 👍👍👍

[@brandonreid4511]

Man I love this car and everything he has done to make it his own are some of my favorite parts about it! 👍

[@dotsfrazer]

Alfa romeo made one of the nicest cars ever made the 33 stradale

[@TheAmishSasquatch]

Seen this car at Kit & Import Nationals this year. It also took part in our Fiat Freakout in Lancaster PA, last weekend.

[@fassive]

Can't say its my style but I love seeing some alfa's on Autofocus!

[@mbuteijn]

Yes, Yes! Love how you portrayed this this dude and his fantastic car!

[@FeistyPineapple]

I am over the moon with these unique builds :D

[@ShaunRGardner]

Sheeeeesh Akaxauto Gotta do a video on his jeeps lmao

[@smitty3644]

I was gonna comment the same thing😂

[@iPaddsbills]

as a long island kid ya get his jeeps on here

[@danieldelrosario8003]

Coolest car on the channel so far . The look when the body is dropped 🤤

[@gregorytimmons4777]

People tend to act like it's amazing that it actually runs. Of course many of us who have owned Alfas know they are good cars. They mainly just need good parts sources and a savvy mechanic. I love unique and offbeat uncommon cars so this is right up my alley. Next, 1970 Peugeot 504 on air bags , but only if i build it because i don't just pay lip service to oddball cars. I dream the dream and have a vision. Some ferment in my grey matter and sometimes if an example can be found a build ensues.

[@sillygoose6251]

Awesome build. This is one of those cars I'll never forget.

[@Pags222]

The rear of this car completely transforms it. Amazing work!

[@blackguardunlimeted]

My father had one of these, they are also known as "duetto" in Italy. Awesome!

[@garagefabroart]

While the term Duetto is used pretty loosely it's specifically used for the 66-69 roundtail Spiders :) They are all cool though!

[@Yosemite_Sam]

Not a duetto man.

[@danielvolpatti7758]

What an amazing build. Thank you so much for showcasing this build. One of my favourites so far.

[@who8dapple]

Does Anthony have a channel? I'm about to acquire a 1987 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 liter and I'm very interested in two mods that Anthony incorporated into his design. 1) the Carello perspex headlight covers, did he need to make any major body modification besides the tabs? 2) does he have a pattern for the shift gate, would love that on brushed SS. Larry, thanks for sharing his one of a kind Alfa!

[@dougdority5589]

I think pininfarina would like those wheels too. Spot on.

[@AliasHSW]

Love these in high school during the rise of JDM, and the downfall of Alfa in the US market

[@demagchevy]

One of the first car I've liked on your channel, GO Alfa! I like that your on the east coast

[@redlinequickshift]

Man that thing looks and sounds amazing second time watching the video!! BIG UP LARRY!!

[@hent1438]

I've never been a big Alfa fan, but I absolutely love this car. It's so tastefully done. I hope to see this car at a NY area show soon. Beautiful.

[@lglagos2571]

It’s at the NY Auto Show at Jacob Javitz right now :)

[@stephenrojas6533]

I would so copy this build and not feel bad LOL

[@shanecunnanemusic]

I was thinking the same 😂

[@randellgribben9772]

with all the mistakes he made?

[@BLAZE-mi9fc]

Might have to

[@EvendimataE]

all the alfa spiders on craigslist are now all gone...lol

[@jrsdiecastcustoms]

This thing looks so good!! Who woulda knew...

[@supportdesk7703]

It’s definitely a bit over the top.. not sold on the slammed look and wheels but that might just be my Alfa purist OCD kicking in.. but honestly if this one was saved from the scrapper kuddo’s for him..

[@timothydraper3687]

I'd like it without silver centres to the wheels and if it wasn't bagged, but other than that it's kinda cool to my eyes.

[@joshuagies4900]

Owned a couple of Alfas in the early 2000's, a 1750 Berlina and a GTV6. Not great off the line, but just keep your foot on it and keep pulling! The GTV6 especially was nice. No power steering; parking could be a little challenging, but you could drive it over twisty mountain roads with two fingers on the wheel. You knew exactly what it was doing. Great engine noise too, especially the Busso v-6!

[@gustavofigueiredo1798]

It looks very cool. Very well done. The tail lights, the wheels...

[@gamby16a]

21 lbs of boost on an 80's open deck block is a bold move. He lives on the edge. Huh. BTW, this is a phenomenal build. So unique and well executed.

[@MacLaw3084]

He’s got four leaf clover center caps, I think he’ll be ok.

[@DaleDriven]

I give a huge thumbs up to the builder. Beautiful Alfa.

[@thecashflowdoctor]

I love these weird quirky builds. MORE OF THESE PLEASEEEEEE. Did he say 21lbs of boost? LOLOLLOL AMAZING

[@VictorSchofield]

Anthony seems like such a cool and chill dude! Sick Alfa!

[@DidricSundgren]

Wheels remind me of the AMG aero wheels, looking good!

[@DYNANiK]

Alfisto from Germany here, never clicked a Hoonigan video faster than now!!! edit: Just like the car, the rims are true masterpieces!

[@Pickchore]

Definitely the first custom Spider I've ever seen and it's a good one too. The only thing that I might change if it were mine are the rear lights. Looks a bit odd to my personal taste..

[@BronkStang]

Congrats on the feature dude!

[@triptravels1999]

This is probably the coolest build I’ve seen

[@Killerconceptz]

Way to go totally unique! Looks fantastic man!

[@R.J.1]

What an absolute masterpiece.

[@davefox7516]

Sickest Alfa Spider conversion I've ever seen.

[@benmurphy8803]

I love the blacked out rear panel including the license plate

[@rlscustoms]

Larry these Spyders share the same drivetrain as those crazy Alfaholics cars we all love.

[@gracefullygraceful9776]

Lovely redesign of the rear. He should market the gated shifter plate and the rear panel to host the F50 lights

[@andymeek9053]

Absolutely love this. Ever since i watched the movie 'Fletch', i always fancied one of these.

[@mattleechee3645]

This is fucking just so cool and impressive.

[@Perceni]

Larry seemed so unenthusiastic af. It seemed like he didnt care one bit. Great & Unique ride.

[@antmarquis87]

Maybe it’s because he really didn’t know much about these cars. You really never see these things ever

[@SebastianLaborn]

I think he struggled a bit to get the owner to speak, whenever he answered one of Larrys questions he just stopped talking. However he Was super nice but maybe a bit nervous behind a camera

[@catpiss4400]

do his jeep xj builds next!! one is a super built turbo jeep 4.0, and the other is a 2wd 2j swap

[@dieselpowerworks]

Enzo would be proud, awesome car

[@c_d_rock]

AKAxauto made it! yes! I love this guy.

[@delahayenator]

Alfa Romeo turbocharged these bialbero engines in the GTV and Giulietta TurboDeltas and later the 75/Milano 1.8 Turbo. The 75 Turbo Evoluziones were tuned up to 450bhp

[@simeonorive145]

Love an unconventional build that required so much work. The average car guy would have no idea what this took. Pure automotive passion.

[@dbowen22]

This is a car that's cool to look at and probably very uncool to drive. Really unique build.

[@rossdavis2654]

Stunning

[@prosperojimenez9612]

Man this car looks so nice

[@TheRealFLX81]

As an owner of a modded italian 2 seater sports car myself, I wholeheartedly approve of what this guy has done to his sweet ride. Also he seems like a really nice dude.

[@ArmySigs]

WOW That old Alfa engine is tough! How has it not blown a head gasket with that boost??? Amazing

[@PernellHammond]

He knocked it out the park!

[@Gregsen]

So different and great mix of parts and styles! His passion shines through! Well done 🔥👍

[@apIthletIcc]

The spider is legit one of the best tiny drift cars on Forza Horizon 4.

[@realweston]

The gated shift on practically the center console is so cool

[@stevemcrichards8768]

That's a totally unique car and it looks awesome and makes Italian dos noises.

[@beamz1631]

This might be the most amazing car I have ever seen to be honest... and I've seen alot.

[@LateKnight666]

the blacked out license plate is radddd

[@RevolutionNow100]

I just bought an 86 Spider, probably in better shape than this one was when he bought this one, which gives me so much hope. This is an awesome car!

[@joppy232]

long live alfas! i have an 87 spider myself

[@KyleKnoblauch]

Okay..... I stared at a set of those wheels on a wagoneer for about 15 to 20 minutes just saying WOW! So talented converting them into that sick 3 piece design.....

[@KyleKnoblauch]

That gated shifter, the louvered hood, the tail lights, the wheels, everything, it’s so cool!

[@tomhughes6486]

The rear end work is soooo clean. Nice job.

[@raisingjunior6389]

Great build, I like the fact he did everything himself. Larry there is a great Alfa scene around the world, you should track down a 'built' Bertone coupe they can handle and look gorgeous
