1972 Alfa Romeo Montreal

This 1972 Alfa Romeo Montreal shows 91,766 kilometers (57,021 miles) and is powered by a 2. 6 liter V8 paired to a 5-speed ZF manual gearbox. He added a little over 500 miles per year until recently passing away. This Montreal is now offered by the selling dealer on behalf of his estate. Recent mechanical service included an upgraded Bosch fuel pump, oil change, and new air filters. The Montreal was the production realization of a concept car styled by Bertone and presented at the Montreal expo in 1967. The original paint code sticker showing ORO 826 (Metallic Gold) is still in place, though it appears that the car has been repainted. The vacuum controlled retractable headlight brows move up and down with a bit of manual assistance and will require additional sorting out to operate as designed. The stock suspension features double wishbones, coils, and shocks up front, and a Giulia-style live rear axle with limited-slip differential at the rear. The Burman recirculating-ball steering is precise and light at higher speeds, and four-wheel ventilated discs provide stopping power. The 14â?³ Campagnolo magnesium-aluminum alloy wheels have a few blemishes and wear BF Goodrich Radial T/As with good tread left. The interior shows little wear in photos aside from a small crack in the center console to the upper right of the head unit. The velour fabric on the front seats is in good shape with no rips or tears, and the original carpets have been preserved under the floormats. A single scratch in the back hatch glass can be seen in photos, though the remaining glass is free of damage. The factory Jaeger gauges are all in working order with the odometer showing 91,766 kilometers. Employing a de-tuned version of the quad-cam dry sump V8 from the Tipo 33 racer, the Montrealâ??s 2. 6 liter engine is paired to a 5-speed ZF transmission and features SPICA fuel injection. The motor looks clean in the tidy engine compartment and all the factory stickers and emblems appear to be present. The chassis #AR1426501 stamp in the engine bay can be seen above. Several pictures of the undercarriage have been provided and show surface rust on some of the exhaust and suspension components.
