- In this video, we follow the journey of a neglected Alfa Romeo 75 that has been sitting in a barn for 18 years. I bought the car last year and brought it to yard.
After some tinkering and troubleshooting, the moment of truth arrives I attempt to start the engine. With a few cranks and some patience, the Alfa Romeo 75 roars back to life after nearly two decades of silence.
The 75 is literally my dream car! I will own one day a twin spark model! Great save, always worth to save old Alfas
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...
17:47 Mr.Hulot's holiday (Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot. 1953) came to mind with that engine misfiring sound.
Beautiful video and beautiful car; greetings from Italy!
Thank you!
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.
Altro salvataggio lodevole
Bravo 👏
Posseggo una 1.6 carburatori, mi regala sempre un bel sorriso ad ogni giro 🖐
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!
The real question is: how is it possible to abandon an Alfa 75 for 19 years??!
It's so enjoyable and emotional to drive!
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
When I changed my 1.8 ie for a TS in 2000, I gave it away as a present with the condition that it would be kept on the road and well.
He gave me 2 cases of wine, but a few years later he resold it to a former policeman...
Fantastic cars; You feel comfortable, connected to the ground, and with an underlying baritone sound.
E si è proprio lei,fatto bene a salvarla, quella fu la vera ultima alfa romeo. Ci sara ' parecchio lavoro
I am looking forward to see how you save this beauty. Thanks for making the video.
Thank you! Your comment means a lot to me!
Good bit of fun with an interesting old car, the seat covers just add to the fun!!!
Exactly my thoughts!

o
I would get some engine mounts, nice car!
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!
Beautiful car but they rot!
Great stuff!
Thanks!
Awesome content
Thank you!
You might want to check the engine oil before starting the engine, rather than afterwards 😉
but I did check it before starting engine...
You might want to watch the video before commenting. It's the second thing he did.
Great video! You’re so handsome too 🥰
Thanks!
My old-old car. But mine was red. ❤
Check idle switch from the wires that were exposed
You giant man !!! 😮 What happens???😮 I suppose you 2.10 meters .your car ALFA ROMEO very small for you !!! I am shoked .... 😮😮😮 .take for you one truck kenworth
Only 2.00 meters!
so who cut the grass underneath the car in the 19 years...........
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.
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
Compared to modern cars, all 75s with any engine, even V6, are slow. I do this for the memories, not for the money.
Cheers!
@@garagedilettante1128ma soprattutto quello che si cerca nelle auto storiche è il piacere di guida tra le curve; nessuno cerca le prestazioni in rettilineo in rettilineo e posso assicurare che anche la 1.6 con i suoi 1080 kg, e qualche upgrade come i Koni sport, pneumatici morbidi, i Weber revisionati e le boccole dei braccetti nuove diventa divertente, sincera, facile, e pure veloce anche rispetto alle moderne
I buy a 75 1.6 car... And swap engine.. with 2.0 carb

The problem is the Distributor.
Any suggestions what should I do?
