[@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

i almost thought larry was high or something

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

[@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???

[@butcherbaker4258]

If this guy becomes more comfortable in front of a camera and a good sponsor the sky is the limit

[@BDMZ404]

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

[@randellgribben9772]

skilled????lol

[@MotoJetSetters]

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

[@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!

[@JizMadness]

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

[@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.

[@zp7126]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@dotsfrazer]

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

[@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 !

[@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.

[@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!

[@1emt95]

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

[@mauricecooper176]

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

[@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.

[@jean-pierrecayol4897]

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

[@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!

[@brandonreid4511]

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

[@mbuteijn]

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

[@sillygoose6251]

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

[@TheAmishSasquatch]

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

[@danielvolpatti7758]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@Pags222]

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

[@fassive]

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

[@AliasHSW]

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

[@andymeek9053]

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

[@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 :)

[@danieldelrosario8003]

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

[@redlinequickshift]

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

[@blaisebaileyfinnegan]

21:45 that burble is sublime

[@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.

[@gustavofigueiredo1798]

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

[@dougdority5589]

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

[@FeistyPineapple]

I am over the moon with these unique builds :D

[@demagchevy]

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

[@---l---]

Great Build, great feature

[@Killerconceptz]

Way to go totally unique! Looks fantastic man!

[@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!

[@DaleDriven]

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

[@rossdavis2654]

Stunning

[@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..

[@EvendimataE]

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

[@VictorSchofield]

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

[@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

[@benmurphy8803]

I love the blacked out rear panel including the license plate

[@gracefullygraceful9776]

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

[@DynamicEricLife]

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

[@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.

[@mattleechee3645]

This is fucking just so cool and impressive.

[@davefox7516]

Sickest Alfa Spider conversion I've ever seen.

[@GSMMW]

Thank you Larry. What a neat car.

[@DidricSundgren]

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

[@Gregsen]

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

Using a raspberry pi cpu,,amazing! Why not an odroid xu4?

[@triptravels1999]

This is probably the coolest build I’ve seen

[@nathgallagher9566]

What a beautiful ride, and I loved all the work he'd done to it🔧👌

[@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.

[@mg_streetkandi]

A woman in my neighborhood has one..It's a silver hard top car...I've seen these things here in Virginia a couple times over the past 20 years..Really Nice. Updated mods..Good Review. .🏁👍

Congrats on the feature dude!

[@TerraFilmTV]

I absolutely love this thing. Perfection man.

[@TheKillWizard]

[@simeonorive145]

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

[@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.

[@c_d_rock]

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

[@catpiss4400]

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

I’ve been eyeing up a pretty mint mg wanting to do kinda the same thing I love the look of this. Has a great like restomod look

[@3rd-eye-neenja563]

Beautiful

[@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

[@ericonone382]

Awesome dude awesome car!!! Hell yeah Anthony 👌🏼

[@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
