Our Alfa Romeo Montreal, put on the road in 1973, has an original 74,900 kilometers. Its current owner has owned it for 8 years, during which time it was carefully kept under cover, in a garage, under a cover.

This Alfa comes in its highly sought-after Montreal Green color, combined with a squirrel-colored interior, in superb condition. The upholstery is original, with only a slight touch up made on the driver's seat. The body, also in original paint, has some chips and areas where the lacquer works, a condition consistent with an unrestored presentation that is faithful to the original.

Under the hood, we find the 2.6L V8 derived from the Tipo 33, developing 200 horsepower, coupled to a 5-speed manual gearbox. The on-board instrumentation is fully functional, and the mechanics are sound. The vehicle benefits from regular maintenance by an old car specialist, with a complete overhaul carried out for sale, including the replacement of the braking system and the renovation of the four rims.

The vehicle's history is partial, but maintenance invoices are available. No costs will be expected for the buyer. Note that this Alfa Romeo Montreal has an aluminum exhaust, and was designed by Kyle Eastwood, musician and classic car enthusiast.

The Alfa Romeo Montreal, produced between 1970 and 1977, is a sports car with a singular history. Initially presented as a concept at Expo 67 in Montreal, it had no official name. The audience, seduced, nicknamed it “Montreal”, a name that Alfa Romeo will keep for the production model.

The concept, designed by Marcello Gandini at Bertone, used a 1.6-liter engine and the Giulia Sprint GT chassis. The serial version, unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1970, is changing significantly. It features a 2.6-liter V8 derived from that of the Alfa Tipo 33 prototypes, developing around 200 horsepower. This engine is combined with a five-speed ZF manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.

On the design side, the Montreal is distinguished by its four headlights partially covered by mobile grills, a fake NACA duct on the hood and shutters behind the doors, mainly decorative. Despite its bold style and performance, its high price made it less accessible than competitors like the Jaguar E-Type. The 1973 oil crisis also hampered its success.

Produced in approximately 3,900 copies, the Montreal was partly manufactured in Arese and at Bertone, using a complex production process spread over several sites.
