[@GasGuzler]

I love that car, with all the original books and logs it has to be worth quite a bit.

[@johnafer]

The car is a Alfa Romeo Spider. FIAT made one similar called the 124 which used the same chassis. Pininfarina is an car design firm known mainly in Italy for designing Busses.

[@Onewheelordeal]

Ah that makes since, thought it was a 124 at first

[@Avus90]

Pininfarina is a long established Italian coachbuilder and car designer with customers including Ferrari, GM, Volvo, Honda, Rolls Royce, Alfa, Maserati, Daewoo, Ford, Peugeot, Fiat and Lancia

[@giorgiogotuzzo938]

No Alfa Romeo spider hasn't the same chassis 124 spider ,this spider has the chassis of Alfa 105/ Alfetta gt

[@MathiasHeinel]

Busses, Ferraris and Alfas Among others.

[@AVC-Works]

This is exactly my life... When i'm searching for nice cars, they are not around. When it's not the time for nice cars, they all pop up in my face :D

[@jameelali1266]

That Alfa is a gem, a prized possession. For the right price, you’ve got a treasure.

[@cousinjohncarstuff4568]

Buy it! Sanatas workshop might find it easy to shift the brake over a bit. Then, send it to the dealer only auction. I feel there is some serious profit....

[@fasteddy917]

Alfa Romeo Spider owners. The only car owners M.G.B., Healey and Triumph owners felt sorry for. Living in the heart of the rust belt the joke was,"Why are Alfa Romeo's always in mint condition. They don't run long enough to get out of the garage."

[@Toby_the_Glen]

you've obviously never driven one?

[@fasteddy917]

@@Toby_the_Glen You're very wrong. I owned a lot of sports cars in the 60's and had friends who owned the ones I didn't or wouldn't own. My best friend owned Alfa Romeo's including 2 Spiders. He had the local dealers phone number memorized because of the number of times they had to come and pick them up. They rotted out even faster than an Austin Healey. Did you notice all the repair manuals? There is a reason for that.

[@Hammer0165]

As an MG B owner, I don't feel sorry for them. But I don't feel sorry for myself either. Preventative maintenance and a yearly checkup to deal with starting rust issues is everything something British or Italian needs to stay running. Especially the 60s-70s cars which don't have complicated injection systems on old engines yet (like this Alfa does).

[@randomness3465]

The Alfa is so adorable, and with all those books, it's begging to be saved! You should get it!

[@keatonhartman5470]

I love the videos with Mike in them its like a comedy video haha

[@hradalfaromeo8044]

My dad has a 1984 one of those and has had it since before I was born and now I am driving it when it is sunny and it might not have very much power but I love that car more than my daily driver which is a w204 c350 coupe

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

I love that Alpha! No, it's not Toyota reliable, but it is so cool! It will take some work to get it road worthy, but it would be worth it! MG's bodies aren't made by Pininfarina. Beautiful cars! The main issue for these cars is rust. If you have a good one, buy it! If you don't you are a fool!

[@MOSSFEEN]

ALFA

[@mikaeljonsson4686]

That car def belonged to an Alfista! 😊 Really nice condition... 🤩

[@rjft7003]

Jeremy Clarkson: "you can't be a true petrol-head until you've owned an Alfa Romeo" his quote from an episode of Top Gear.

[@leebraddock8624]

Those Alfa Romera vehicles are going for $10-14k right now

[@gabeprice8629]

That car is nice. Go for it. Have fun with the electrics I hear.

[@peteryoung3122]

come on you can make up any losses on youtube this car is a gem been to long since you found one no one else has

[@DachsAutos]

Grab that alfa for sure! PDR the ding in the front, run thru the mechanics and sell it in the spring for a mint. ---- May be only slightly cooler than my '75 Spitfire!

[@jameelali1266]

C’mon Randy; ideal car to complement your new home; would turn more heads than the Tesla; everyone has one of those these days.

[@freekfaro5606]

You gotta watch the movie The Graduate ...... and see its earlier version, in the main role!

[@brian5o]

Get that Alfa, Randy, that is a really cool car with a cool story. It is very obvious that car was loved by the previous owner(s). I love that BRG, too!

[@JRMagoo]

That Alfa is all you Randy. Congrats on the new house. That Alfa will look great sitting in front of your new house.

[@stevenn4020]

Kelley Blue book says the Spider Veloce is worth around $15K with 42K miles

[@gilbertrodriguez3791]

My cousin had a 1988. This car is quick for being a 4 cylinder. This car brings back Great memories.

[@ricklingard]

Go for it , very rare in that condition in UK , maybe worth £25,000 , mechanically they are strong but electrics can be problematic they hate the damp climate, it looks like its had a good life .

[@Avus90]

Pininfarina is a long established Italian coachbuilder and car designer with customers including Ferrari, GM, Volvo, Honda, Rolls Royce, Alfa, Maserati, Daewoo, Ford, Peugeot, Fiat and Lancia Edit: Also, Randy, PLEASE buy the Spider 🙂

[@SuperChevelle88]

I love that Alfa , you should really bid on it

[@sgttombailes3380]

Buy the thing already!!! It will be FUN !!

[@bensonsspeedshop1191]

Alfas are Great cars, had a new one when I was in Italy in 76.

[@Leon-uj7pc]

I always liked the looks of these. Very attractive and the seats were quite comfy. I was friends with a girl in high school whose folks owned a 1992 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce (Series 4). They bought it brand new in 1992 (during our junior year). I used to see it in front of their house sometimes as I rode the school bus (and then my own car my senior year) to school as she lived up the street from the school. They also had two Volvo wagons. By the end of the decade, it was replaced by a Miata. I ran into to her one day at the grocery store a few years ago and asked her why her folks got rid of the Alfa. She told me that the car had issues from the first year of ownership and every time they turned around there was some new issue that cropped up. it spent more time ether in their garage or in their drive way or at the mechanics instead of being driven. They finally dumped it for a Mazda Miata because they wanted a reliable 2 seater that was reliable.

[@19mati67]

You have to buy that Randy. An Alfa Romeo owner here, but a Stelvio, not a Spider.

[@CarringtonHollister]

Alfa Romeo Spider, what a cute little car but the maintenance scares the piss out of me

[@TahoesNTurbos]

loving the double videos buddy

[@jeremyaustin9103]

Jeremy Clarkson said you are not a true petrol head until you've owned an Alfa Nick deserves this

[@67Stang]

"It is just that easy" six tries later top is latched. Gave me a laugh. This brings back some memories. A friend of mine in high school father owned the Alpha Romeo dealership here in Atlanta. He drove a new one of these every month or so. They were a lot of fun. Not as much as my 67 Mustang.

[@vidguy007]

Dustin Hoffman drove one of these in “The Graduate” He drove it all through that excellent movie. It’s like no one has ever seen one of these, which you obviously haven’t Your unawareness of Pininfarina also astounds me

[@leebraddock8624]

You can tell by the door closures and trunk latches etc that the car was taken care kf... the Alfa Romera

[@charlesking1244]

Hey Randy, I Agree With You And Monkeywrench Mike, Those Little Alfaromeo Spider’s Are Interesting Cars!! I Remember Kelly Labrock Had One In “The Woman In Red” Fun Little Cars Man, Get It If It Makes Since Man!!

[@tammysigworth2681]

Randy and Mike. A heads up on how to remove tape marks. Believe it or not, Skin So Soft bath oil from Avon, works perfectly, doesn't remove paint just the sticky crap and it shines your car.....:)........it also removes gum out of a child's hair which I have been through that A LOT !

[@waynerobinson4978]

Do a car check on the alpha romeo They used to use a cordless drill in reverse on the speedo cable to run the miles away You can get a spacer to move the pedals or after market ones which are bent outward to the door pillar

[@MOSSFEEN]

ALFA ROMEO

[@alessandroceretta2603]

Here in Italy is quite common! We call it Alfa Romeo Duetto, is great to see an USA spec version.

[@nealkerner7592]

That car is awesome! Get it!!

[@NoahClay6]

I would seriously buy that Alfa. I think it was taken care of plus it's rare to find a car with that many books and repair guides. Pop out that dent clean it up and you have some serious money right there Randy. Great video as always and with Mike it just makes it even better.👌👍👍

[@jeroldhowland33]

Peeked my interest. I’m impressed with the overall condition and paperwork. Wow, you have to get this man

[@jamesschultz7550]

Randy: I think the car you're thinking of is the Subaru XT coupe. The first years had the moon patrol style gauges. The first was 1986 I believe.

[@The_Laser_Channel]

BUY THE ALFA! I would love to see this on your channel!

[@matthewwheeler7499]

Luv the back to back vids!!

[@C.M.S.recordingsstudio]

That badge on the side is the name of the designer .. he also did a lof models for Fiat and for Lamborgini

[@robp8218]

This Alfa needs buying and saving, lovely, quirky Italian car.

[@jean-marcandjoshua-petsjournal]

The car is an Alfa/Fiat. Very rare. If you can make her run well and keep her running well she is a keeper.

[@markrosenberg4614]

Had all the Alfa's and Fiats 30 years ago. I don't miss having to fix them all the time.

[@jimcosgrove292]

I still have my 1966 Fiat 850 Coupe that I purchased when I was stationed in Germany. Does not runs.....

[@RPO6464]

It/ is a good car. I grew up in Italy and loved these cars. As an adult I would love to have one.

[@shazammohamed16]

Go for it Randy it's a great car🔥

[@markhowes5669]

The alfa romeo would be great, honestly you would love driving it around, keep up the great work Randy

[@jamest6850]

I like MWM in the walkarounds. hes a good vibe.

[@wernerdanler2742]

You need to actually look at that odometer and see if it is a 5 digit or 6. If it is a 5, don't count the tenth mile, then it could be 140,000 miles which makes more sense than 40,000 miles. It is not in bad shape for its age and these are fun little cars. Buy it, fix it up and then give it to me! Check it for rust though underneath. It also seems to be missing the spare tire.

[@fede81s]

Look at 7:33 , it's 6 digits. It says 045xxx

[@wernerdanler2742]

@@fede81s thanks! I'll look again. I missed it the first time.

[@todddenio3200]

There are 2 types of Alfa Romeo owners - those who absolutely love them, and those who say they had owned one and will never do it again and would rather have al of their teeth pulled out with a pair of rusty vise grips with no anesthesia.

[@rayphillips332]

Get it Randy it's a really nice car.

[@thomaslibonati]

I wish you’d buy that Alfa! That’s wildly cool!

[@benc6614]

I grew up with Alfas .. that is a raaaaaare car Randy!

[@arthurbiringer5676]

Be aware! Unless you know Italian cars really well, you’ll need someone who does. These cars can be….quirky.

[@markscully2342]

they are not really quirky they are quite simple really. electricals are unreliable though.

[@yazanbaddawi9683]

In the words of Jeremy Clarkson: you are not a true petrol head if you never owned an Alfa!

That Alpha is a beautiful beast

[@420caht]

The best subi the svx so cool. Beautiful Alfa

[@adelajatijani]

Very valuable here in Europe, that looks mint,

[@karelvvv]

... The only things that are wrong are the vacuum leaks an the dent in the front.... Maybe do a upgrade on suspension bushes and then it's a fun little convertible...

[@DaddytechEnt]

*Eagle river AK is Beautiful Cory Williams (YT, mean kitty, Dude likehella,)used to live up there and shot a lot of video up there. it's a truly Amazing place. i think you reigned yourself in perfectly on this one. That car is actually only valued at $5,700.00 in perfect shape*

[@rjft7003]

Very rare to see those Alfa Romeo even here in Europe and that one seems to be in mint condition. That one in particular seems to be a Veloce CE special version for the USA (according to Wikipedia "The cars followed the VIN sequence 008276 to 008460" which matches that one from what I see in the VIN sticker. Randy buy it please, fix what is needed and sell it to those Alfa Romeo fans in North America or even overseas.

[@dahl2101]

the first car iI ever owned was a 1969 Alfa Romeo Spider 1750. super fun

[@saletodor1]

Pinin Farina is studio for make models of cars, that is reason to badge on side.

Love ur videos Randy. Please please close the door when you're looking the cars over and they're donging away for dear life though 😬 Love from Manchester, UK 🇬🇧

In racecars, you just move the top part of your foot (toe) you leave your heal on the floor, once you get the hang of it, it makes perfect sense :)

There's a body in the Romeo trunk!

There is one for sale in Austin TX with 60000 for $27500 green with a black top very similar

[@dodgydruid]

Alfa Romeo's aka the poor man's Ferrari, you won't be disappointed with any Alfa if its in reasonable fettle but they do require a bit more maintaining than a comparable car simply because the engines are super tuned to the nuts. Now the ones to find are the GTV 3.0, what a street sleeper and the Ferrari engined Lancia Thema which is like hot runny stuff of a shovel... them Italians knows what makes a good car :)

[@ChorltonM21]
