WOW, the Alfa 75 (sold as Milano in the USA) here in Italy is pretty famous. It's a special car, and back then let's say that if you see 2 of these out of a bank here in Italy, especially with engine on, it means that a bank robbery was in place in that exact time. This was a FAST car (and I don't mean just in straight line...) back then, especially with the 2.0 or the V6 Busso :) Take care with the distrib. belt on these ones, they don't last long on the v6... Unfortunately it's not easy (even here in Italy!) to get parts for these :( FCA group never valued his heritage :(((( And now these are sold for 15k$ here... Note: Brembo pads code P 23 020 are the ones for this and they HAVE the sensor.

Bill is one of the chosen ones where Wizard will actually work on their older cars, lucky man! 🙌

The "Shamrock"symbol on the boot lip means that is a "Cloverleaf" model . The symbol has a long history and is reserved for sports models including race F1 , similar to AMG , M , RS etc.

That is one majorly underrated car. Really fun to drive.

I’ve had a lot of cars in my time , including an M3 CSL and 911 Porsche’s of various vintages, however the most memorable car I’ve ever owned was an Alfa 75 3.0V6. I came across it in a specialist official Alfa garage , sitting inside in the corner , the wreck was just after being insurance accessed after being stolen to be used in a professional bank robbery , not the usual unrepairable destroyed joyriders car , which was the more normal thing here in Dublin in the mid 1990’s. Estimate per insurance assessment was Damage to The front bumper torn off , exhaust torn off , ignition burst off , special heat resistant battery was goosed too, and some bodywork scratches from where during the getaway it was driven through a wire fence . Anyway the repair estimate was for about £8 k at the time, and the car would have being worth in perfect condition about £7500 in original condition. I couldn’t believe my luck to land it for lot less than £1 k , The garage was stuck for space. I had a wedding to go to in the west of Ireland a week later and I was determined to bring this V6. So the pressure was on big time to get it on the road. Got it delivered, Straight up to my exhaust man , for a custom made exhaust, (genuine one was unobtainable and stupid dear in 1995) My genius exhaust man made up a much more free flowing unit than the £1500 plus vat for an Alfa one , and a great bonus was we let it under the rear axle rather than squashed over, and used a Jaguar back box , which made for an unbelievable sound and I reckon a lot more power. this and fitting a standard non insulated battery saved me about £1800. I cable tied on the front bumper temporarily , which was cosmetically quiet successful, and I made up a push button starter and detachable ignition switch to replace the burst key ignition, and off with me to the wedding for the weekend. My wife still slags me almost 30 years later , for reaching up to the switches beside the rear view mirror to let down the windows to hear that magical busso sound , every Single time we exited a small town heading for the west of Ireland on our pre motorway pre Celtic tiger back B roads. To this day she can recognise a busso V6 on KZfaq!!! Sight unseen. We had a fantastic weekend in the car for the wedding weekend and a week afterwards. Sideways around Sligo. When I returned home a young mechanic got wind of this super machine bought it from me “as is “ for an offer I couldn’t refuse. The profit payed my mortgage for at least a year on our newly acquired house with a new baby. So happy days in every way , and totally logical to part with it. But I will have another.

This is the best sounding V6 in the world. The Alfa Romeo 75 , as it is known in Europe ( and Greece where I am from), is probably the last true Alfa Romeo. I am trying to find another model of this car: the Alfa Romeo 75 1800cc turbo evolutione.. This is a very rare car even in Greece, where alfas were very popular..

I remember when these were new -- I was 18 years old in '88. These cars weren't all that common in the States, even back then. I can't imagine how rare one of these is today -- especially with only 57K miles on it. You'd almost expect this to be a Euro Asian Bob rare-car find. Very nice!

That's not a shamrock emblem on the back, that's a four leaf clover or on an Alfa a Quadrifoglio! It pays homage to Alfa's racing history and historically just the top of the line of a model, or a sportier racing version had this logo applied! Love the channel Wizard, and was excited to see an Alfa Romeo in your garage. Big fan of Alfas and your show!

I love the 75 (that's what we call it here in Europe) especially with a V6. The version you have here with the bigger bumpers we know as the 75 America

I used to work for Alfa in the early 90`s, I loved driving these things.. In fact, I loved driving all the Alfa`s (Suds, 33`s, 75`s, Alfetta`s & 164`s), all absolutely superb drivers machines! I didnt find them hard to work on, the engineering was great, but, I understand that that was 3 decades ago, & this one looks like it needs work I wouldn't have seen at the time, the crushed wire in the column definitely isn't the cars fault, & the window motor.. Well, 80`s window motors were rarely much good long term! As long as its rust free, its worth doing! You will love it like no other car! These are highly regarded in Europe, the prices have picked up a lot in recent years, & rightly so.

You’ve touched my heart with this Alfa 75. Was my first car and with all the cars I’ve owned since, not one has had the character like the 75. Such a balanced car in every aspect. Thank you wizard for great videos and content. I’ve learnt so much watching your channel. 🇦🇺

Very underrated vehicle. A hoot to drive though. I loved mine. And besides some engineering complexities, these vehicles from the eighties can be worked on. This video brought back some great memories, so thank you for the consideration. And you're correct, only old people like us actually know what it is because we saw them driving around or drove them ourselves.

They were sold as the 75 here in the U.K. 🇬🇧. That 3.0 v6 is an awesome engine! Note: Ensure that the underside and every single panel is treated with about 1000 gallons of Fluid Film unless the owner wants to find a massive blob of rust on his driveway in 6 weeks time!

The last "real"rear wheel drive Alfa. Still quite a few 75's around here in yhr Netherlands/ Europe .Alfa check system never really worked properly but the car is a classic. The 2 litre Twin spark with 150 bhp was More popular over here but dont think it was sold in the US.I always loved that wedge shape,so unusual.Nice car👍

The 75 with the Busso in the front was and still is a delight to drive. The Busso is imo one of the best V6 engines ever. Regarding the car I can only say this. Keep it and keep it well maintained. The value will only go up. There are not a lot left, also not here in Europe. Greetings from the Netherlands.

Really enjoyed watching this latest posting from the Wizard, Car Wiz Dave understands why some old cars are an attractive temptation. He adjusts his workshop agenda accordingly. Very wise financially from a business standpoint not to mention avoiding many unseen lengthy and costly aggravating problems that are invariably there with most nice old cars. As a non-professional spanner man, I get a lot of satisfaction breathing new life into some nice old cars the previous owners have given up on. Some of the fine cars us Brits throw away is borderline criminal waste. They'd be highly valued, revived and cared for in many other less fortunate parts of the world. I see many Vans at my favourite Car Breaker yard full of parts. Vans with Eastern European plates. Here in the UK and no doubt in the USA and elsewhere, car consumers and users far outnumber car enthusiasts. That ratio was far less wide when I first bought a car many moons ago. Many modern UK car user/consumers do not know where the bonnet/hood release is on their cars. I have experienced this when neighbours, friends have approached me on a "You know about cars" basis when problems arise. A near neighbour drives one of those big bright yellow Vans used by a UK Nationwide roadside rescue firm. He confirms that when attending a stranded motorist at the roadside, when he asks them to pull the hood/bonnet release, he is met with a blank stare. Car users like that invariably pay much more for their motoring than they really need due to that level of care and ignorance. I get far more pleasure breathing new life into nice old Brit cars previous owners have given up on than taking delivery of a new car which I have done many times over the years. Be they a private purchase or company supplied new car. Previous owners having been quoted silly high figures to rectify and repair decide to get rid instead. . One such car was estimated to cost in excess of £1000 ( UK pounds ) to fix. I took a chance bought it for scrap value and fixed it with change from ten of our UK pounds. Plus a couple of leisurely well spent hours investigating. That scenario on more than one occasion. My current daily workhorse driver of the past eight years was purchased for less than one hundred UK pounds when scarp metal prices were at an all time low. I did not look for that car. The previous owner, an enthusiast on one of the groups I am a member of, contacted me as he did not want to see his nice MG ZT-T 1.8T be recycled prematurely. That car again was fixed for only a few hundred of our English pounds and a few well spent leisurely hours with my tools. Always the car enthusiast from day one, cars are more than merely a means of getting from A to B for me.

One of the best engine ever made, that sound ! 😀, amazing road capabilities, funny handbrake and be ready for a christmas tree at the dashboard, sold mine years ago and still regret it 👍👍

Not only I've heard, but I owned a 1987 Alfa Romeo Milano. This V6 is the famous Busso motor. It sounds and performs GREAT. Of course, you need to take care of it, maintain it. It's an Italian car, after all.

Oh this is fun. I had a red Verde (3 liter) that was a 1987 (very rare-most were 88 or 89) as my second car when I was 20 years old. My first was a spider veloce. Alfas are great. This car handled so well and that engine sound is just amazing

Jeremy Clarkson drove the European version during an episode of Top Gear. The racetrack part was epic

As an Alfa owner, I really loved this video.

I had an 88 v6 3.0 for a few years. And this is the only car I regret selling. It had 200000 miles and had a sebring exhaust on it. And man it sounded glorious!!! I really want one. This grey one is a keeper, almost no rust, brakes and belts done. And the upholstery is actually special. Normally its gray or black velours. The cars from 1989 on had white dials. Only the first two years had these orange dials. Very nice! Now i want one

This is one of my favorite cars of all time! I haven't seen any for sale here on the East Coast.

Loved the Milano's advertising for the USA market. Still one of my favorite odd cars from the era. Thankful this one is in appreciative hands! 🍀

Pads with sensors are still available. The fix for the booster/ABS system is to replace it entirely with a normal vacuum booster with no ABS found on the lower end models.

Looks to be a 3.0L version... Limited slip, Recaro interior, just super fun. I had two, an 87' and a 89' Verde and just loved loved them. It has a few quirks but always worth it.

Having sat in and driven a few Alfas of this era, the one thing I always remembered is that the driving position is best suited to someone with arms as long as their legs.

My first car was a 89 Milano Verde. Paid $100 for it non-running but in great shape back in 1998.. ended up putting about 5K into it over the course of 2 years , and first drive it caught on fire. Wiring harness roasted. Ended up cutting my losses, selling it and buying a Saturn. Still miss that Alfa. Enjoy it Bill - it's definitely worth fixing!

I missed the part where the customer was not happy. The Verde is a great car - I've got one in my garage right now, and have owned (and raced) many. Few items of note. First, you missed a critical item during the under car inspection, the drive shaft donuts. You need to inspect those for cracks or missing chunks. If the customer wants to replace the exhaust, it's a good time to address those. There is a front and a rear, and a center support. Regarding the ABS brakes, you can replace the system with a non ABS MC/pedal assembly from a Milano or GTV6. Lastly, somebody in the comments mentioned the ARC, yes those are famous for the 'disco' display. Somebody actually identified an overworked transistor on the ARC panel circuit board, you can replace that transistor with a higher voltage one and it solves most ARC problems. Good luck with the car, they're a ton of fun to drive!

Fond memories of my 1986 Milano. Puccini on four wheels. Could never get the fuel tank above 3/4 unless I filled it ever so slowly, and the radio would lose presets if the engine didn't start on the first try! But the sounds that engine made... Melted.my heart.like Puccini.

Had a teacher when I was in middle/high school 30 years back who had one of those and a Merkur XR4Ti … always thought they both were odd/ugly looking vehicles. Now they turn my head in the rare times I see them. LOL

That car takes me back. My boss, at my job after college, had one. He was an older English guy who loved Italian cars. He already had an Alfa Romeo Spider and bought the Milano new. It was a gorgeous car for the time and I got to drive in it a few times. Unfortunately, it more than lived up to the Alfa Romeo reputation for (lack of) reliability. It was often in the shop.

I owned two of these Alfas known as the 75 here in the UK and Europe ( named to celebrate 75 years of Alfa Romeo when released in 1985). One was powered by a 2.0 Litre Twin Spark ( 2 Spark plugs per cylinder) and the second was powered by a 3.0 V6 designed by legendary Guiseppe Busso. These cars are now fetching serious money in the UK and Europe. Great cars and last of the true rear wheel drive Alfas before FIAT bought the company and saved them from financial ruin. Great Vlog!

even the local alfa dealer said, after open the hood of my 75 3 liter, i never seen this engine^^ i loved the fast car in alfa red, the few alfa drver greeted each other on the road

The car magazines absolutely loved these in the late 80s. As a fresh out of college kid who graduated into a recession, it was on my list of cars I wanted but could never afford. And now that I can afford them, it's tough to find a decent one. Well done, Bill!

well done, Car Wizard, I admire your calmness in dealing with these issues.

Put a glass pack after the cats and a straight pipe with a tip. I promise you, it will be the best sounding exhaust for that. Congrats on the purchase bill.

Thank you Mr. and Mrs. WIizard enjoyed the diagnosis of the car, y'all take care and God bless.

Here in Italy is Called Alfa 75, really special car, especially the 1.8l turbo evoluzione spec, I really want one of them! Also the 3.0 v6 Busso engine is pretty good, sound amazing, this engine is called "the Arese violin"!

4:26 Yes, thank you Mr. Wizard! Saab was indeed cooperating in safety with Alfa Romeo in the 80's modifying a body cage for Saab 9000 platform, and Alfa did adapt to use Saab's designs and proportions from a 9000 16-valve model here. Even the radio is of the same model that I remember in my 9000's. They were just 2 years older of '86 vintage.

I almost bought one of these when they were super cheap, really regretting it now. It was the last mainstream Alfa developed independently from Fiat. While it's replacement the 155 was great it was on a Fiat platform.

Was a bit surprised, honestly, to see it in the Wizard's shop. I've been an Alfa fan forever, and I'm happy to see these nifty cars get their share of the spotlight.

Beautiful alfa! I'm happy to hear the car wizard finally mention SAAB. I watch all the wizards videos on euro cars and I'm hoping one day he will cover a SAAB. Particularly an old SAAB 900 or 9000.

OMG !!! i can believe you doing this car. love this car, i had a 75 turbo america and i crashed it :( miss it everyday.

HOOOOLD UP!! An Alfa 75 3.0 V6 Busso in the WEEEEEEZARDDD shop?? 🤩🤩🤩

Finally an Alfa.I have had a few, a 33 (still own it), a few the USA didn’t get:155 V6,156,159, 166 and now a giulia (and a montreal to keep the 33 company). I hope that one a day a Monti will show up at the wizards place😀 Enjoy the 75!!

Full aluminium V6, torsion bar suspension, transaxle, DeDion axle with Watt linkage. Must people would have run away screaming, while the Wizard appreciates good engineering when he sees it. Nice!

This older, Alfa Romeo looks rare, compared to the newer ones, like the Stelvio crossover.

i worked on those in the dealership when they were new. the 6 cyl is the best one. very fun car to drive. Electrical (alfa control) is a whole different story with those Alfa's. random faultcodes that just needed a hit on the dashboard to reset..lol

Great to see a customer joining in on the video.

I love the Alfa 75! I had a lot of Alfa's in my life. Living in the Netherlands we have a lot of Alfa Romeo's here and parts are not hard to come by.

Thank you wizard for sharing your knowledge and experience with this car. I particularly resonated with your comment about “unreliable, complex, italian cars” and it might not always be true. They often turn into basket cases because incompetent people try to butcher them together with wrong tools and parts. These were police vehicles and were very common in the 80s/90s in Italy, and were doing their job quite well. Matter of fact, there is one in my area (GTV6) that gets regularly abused and autocrossed on weekends, and it still functions. They require a competent eye for maintenance but nothing as extraordinary as people might think. So yes, thank you for your unbiased, realistic opinion, it might actually draw more people into alfa ownership, at least those that are hesitant strictly because of that reliability factor (in fact, all older cars are unreliable lol) Too many people give opinions without knowing the subject, and it just doesn’t do justice to some brilliant cars that are not well known.

Amazing car, that was called Alfa Romea 75 here in Finland - and rest of Europe, I think. A friend of my elder brother had one, but with a tiny 1.6 liter engine. As a teenager that time I dreamd of QV version. The 75's reputation was a car with many problems, though.

I've been a massive fan of the 75 (Milano) since it was new in the 80's. I read all about these in Car and Driver, Road&Track, and Automobile magazines. I'm very grateful that I've gotten to see one in real life. Thankfully these are rear wheel drive. When the 164 replaced it, it was front wheel drive. These are absolutely gorgeous cars. So glad to see that it's in very good condition for it's age. Most of these were Ferrari red. Of the ones that came to the US, many were automatics. Thank you.

We have had 2 75s. One was a 2L twin spark, the other a 2.5 v6 auto. Overall they were reliable cars, just don’t expect the Alfa Control warning panel to work! When we bought the first one, a friend showed us what to look for on them - lifted the bonnet and said the only bits that go wrong are labelled Bosch. That said, v6 cam belt is a minor pain and the “tensioner” works by oil pressure and is a detensioner. Rust wasn’t a major issue generally, but the V6 had rusted around the windscreen where someone had wrecked the rust proofing doing a lousy job of changing a screen. Changing the rear pads is a pain, with the handbrake on the top of the inboard calipers. Clutch is in the transaxle as well. One thing to watch out for when driving. With the front window switch’s it can look like you are giving the finger to the car behind! The front abs brake setup was an ATE setup. Think Volvo used a similar system. They have a poor “fail safe”, giving you one stop when they brake. We were lucky in the uk and didn’t get the ABS option.

Your customer is a lucky man. I bought used Alfa Romeo Alfasud in the 1980's and a used Giulietta in the 1990's ( the Milano which was called 75 in the UK was the successor to that giulietta). Both beautiful to drive but rusted away before my eyes. It didnt put me off. I currently drive a 2013 Giulietta.

A beautiful Alfa Romeo 75, thanks for sharing this @car wizard !

Great find. I remember this as the Alfa 75 in Europe. Quirky design - you either loved it or hated it. This was when Alfa made great engines with the Twin Spark technology. I had two versions of the Alfa 164, the V6 and the 2.0 twin spark. Interestingly i preferred the 2.0 Twin spark - a wonderful throaty motor and frugal as well.

Thanks Wizard, Ms, & Bill for sharing this sweet find. Imagine getting exact car of your teen dreams in good condition! Body, paint, engine, trans, interior all good shape. Don't sweat small stuff. Mostly metal engine parts.For 35 year low production car, buy some consumable parts, like brake pads, plugs, timing belts, a clutch kit, water pump, distributor cap/rotor, belts, hoses...before you can't get them. Enjoy for long time.

I have always liked those Milano's. Beautiful cars. That one is in amazing shape for its age.

Buying an Italian 🇮🇹 car sight unseen…I too like to live dangerously 😁

Another great video Wizard. This one struck a chord with me, having bought my Milano Verde from the original owner back in 2015. I've bought and sold many cars in that time period, but the Milano is still in my garage and one of my favorite all time cars to drive. They are not fast by modern standards - quickish would be accurate - but the sound, feel and overall character win you over before you've even done 5 miles. It's a seriously enjoyable car to wring out on your favorite B road with sublime chassis dynamics and balance, excellent steering and brake pedal modulation and that jewel of a V6 up front making music so sweet you would swear Vivaldi gave his seal of approval. Highly underrated cars IMO, and so much more interesting than an E30. And before you call me an Alfa fanboy, keep in mind that I own and race E30s! More of this car please.

I had an Alfa75 here in Australia. the 4 cylinder twin spark in red. My God, I love that car, drove beautifully. Style, handling and soul. I also had 3 Alfa 33s as a young man all those years ago. I had no idea they made it to the USA, not a market I would have thought appreciated a car like that.

Yes!!! Car wizard in his Alfa Era!!!

WOW Wizard, that is one great looking Milano! Love all classic Alfa Romeos!!! The 4 leaf clover 🍀 is the racing team symbol 👍👍👍 Thanks for doing what you do, we LOVE your videos🎉🎉🎉

Such surprise to see this here at the Car Wizard! Had a 2.0L Twinspark years ago and I loved it so much. Also same color as this one. It was a joy. Engine was special; All aluminium from pan to valve lid. Great throttle response and the sound of a thoroughbred. Thing was also reliable and economical. This v6 is something else though. The stearing i remember was great; no understear to speak of. Perhaps consider new (Koni) shocks and a beafed up front roll bar. It worked great on mine. For looks I can recommend the Ronal A1 telephone rims as it fits the angular body style so well imo, but these are very fitting also. Enjoy Bill, cheers!

My favorite sport sedan. 50-50 weight distribution without electronics, transaxle. Busso engine!!! Enjoy!!!

The Alfa Romeo Milano was and may still be one of the best driving machines ever built. Love them.

Bill sounds like a customer you'd really want.

I've had one of these for 3 years and have been daily driving it every chance I get. Granted it's always broken and leaky, but that's par for the course with these. Plus it has been great as each issue is a new learning experience as a budding car enthusiast

In typical Alfa fashion it self rustproofed with a coating of oil. Love them!

Interesting videos, I recall seeing Milanos every so often growing up in Southern New England. I think Alfas were more popular in Southern New England compared to other parts of the nation.

Surprised there was no mention of the DeDion rear suspension. Love that Milanos, seriously under appreciated cars. Other than some surface rust that one looks to be in great shape. I have had 4, I currently have 2 and plan to buy another Verde from a friend soon. If you missed out on the GTV6 because prices are heading up go grab a Milano.

I have a number of the the GTV - GTV6 versions of this chassis. This car is in incredible shape. A set of Koni Yellows will sort the problem with the originals. Bill, Alfaholics has a handling kit (front sway bar and rear springs). It is well worth the money. You've got a really good example !! Congratulations

It’s great to see the Wizard going thru this car with the owner - an owner who knows cars and is very realistic. Good job Wizard, Mrs Wizard, and Bill!.

I actually heard of this car when I was a young buck, first time I seen one was in 1987 coming home from school in a shopping center lol...I thought the world of that car , looked awesome! I would always try to find model kits for it 😂😂😂!

Hey Wizard & Mrs Wizard, how are things going with the bus??? I think that we need another update!!! Thanks for sharing another interesting video!!! 👍🙂👍

Did a college internship in Research Triangle Park, NC back in the 80s...used to see them around. RTP had a ton of BMWs, SAABs, Mercedes, Volvos and other high end vehicles.

I came to work in my 87' Alfa 75 TS yesterday and this video from the wizard popped up. They are great cars, glad to see one here 😊

That’s a beautiful car !

Very cool car. I would expect Doug Milano to do a review on this just because it is so rare. More than happy to watch Mr/Mrs wizard to do the job tho! ✌️

Great car to see in the shop, I owned an Alfa Romeo 75 Twinspark. If you still have twinkling lights on the ARC after fixing all the relevant issues, then pull the unit apart and replace the voltage regulator in it (easy, solder a new one in). Over time the voltage regulator fails and doesn't provide a clean voltage to the circuit board, causing the Christmas light display.

The GTV 6 is worth some money now, but the Milano/75 and '90s cars are fairly inexpensive. Finding one that's been taken care of is another thing... 🤔

Very nice Milano. Good deal from BaT. Best color for this car. I had 2 of them and they were quite reliable. Timing belt every 36k mi might sound expensive BUT it is very easy and simple to do, much easier to maintain than cars that built after 2000. Just put a new timing belt, water pump, exhaust, new shocks, and polish it and it will look and drive really nice!

That was a really interesting video on the Alfa Romeo. Beautiful car oh, I always love them. It would have been nice, and added some perspective if the auction price was disclosed to the viewers. It would have been very relevant to know how much this car cost. Thanks and best wishes

Very nice Alfa. I had no idea they made such a beautiful car in 1988

Just started looking at the channel as the 75 caught my eye, and this looks amazing compared to some rubbish I've been looking at Down Under. I've owned 3 x 75 V6 plus many other Alfas in the past, but the 75 is the champion model for me. They are great cars to own and drive, and that V6 Busso engine is like no other. You won't be disappointed with Alfa' s last Hurrah model before Fiat bought them out in 84. Best rear wheel drive car, in my opinion. Can't wait to get another very soon. Will subscribe and follow 🇬🇸

I would love to see this thing get one of those dry ice cleanings

I liked the twin spark v6.. Had one briefly as a company car when everyone else in the company rejected it because the seat was terrible.. but for a 6'5" person.. that seat was fine. Loved it.

Yeah! I had an 88 Milano 3.0 Quadrifolgio in the early 90s. I’d spent time in Rome for school a few year prior so of course. Fun car. Sold it cause pre KZfaq couldn’t figure out how to fix the brakes or get the ABS controller box. And I had some kids. Mine was black. Great engine sound. Fun manual transmission.

We had a few of these when i grew up, a 1986 2,0 twin cam with 130hp, a 1987 2,5 v6 with 155hp and a 1988 3.0 with 185hp. Fantastic cars and i’ve always loved the looks, especially with more aggressive wheels with a lower offset. It’s not at all as unreliable as people might think either, the 75/milano was a very well engineered car. The massive parking brake lever is such a cool feature.

The Car Wizards has the coolest walk on KZfaq! I'd love to see a continuous loop video of him just waddling around on his stubby little legs with Pantera's WALK as the background music!

My father used to say everyone should own an Alfa Romeo at least once, to truely know how good & bad a car can be at the same time, I've had a little Sud & a GTV 6, both were amazing cars, but also left me on the side of the road, for an 80's Alfa I'm shocked it isn't full of rust, Rj in Oz

I just love and miss those cars. I had two of those back then. So fun to drive. Those were the days!

This Video was so Nostalgic for me. My Dad had a 88 Milano (2.5) when i was a kid. Loved that car.

Heated seats in the 80's was some high class stuff! Great info on that interior Mrs Wizard!

@0:23 I have seen it so often. It is the Alfa Romeo 75. It is the base for one of the best DTM touring cars of the 90ies. According to the rules Alfa had the option to either go turbocharged or AWD. They went for the later and created a high reving V6 instead. 😊

I know the lot in Omaha he was talking about. I buddy of mine bought a new Spider in 1987. The salesman tried to get him into a Milano. Several years later I bought a 1986 Spider. It was a fun car.

The first thing I would do is power wash the entire underside so you can really see where all the leaks are. Fix the leaks. Get all that surface rust brushed off and then spray seal the underside.

A guy from work gave me a red Alfa 75 for free back in the late 90s and I gave it back to him a few months later... It ran and drove `ok` but the paint was flat and there was obviously some rust as it was an 80s Alfa, I remember the seats were nice... He ended up parking it on a local housing estate with the keys in the ignition and just left it there.
