The Alfa Romeo Montreal stunned the public as a concept at Expo 67 in Montreal, Canada. Penned by Marcello Gandini at Bertone, its exotic styling was a hit. The production version, launched in 1970, retained the futuristic look but packed a surprise under the hood: a 2.6-liter, dry-sump V8 derived from the Tipo 33 sports prototype racing car. It wasn't the show car's 4-cylinder, but a complex and potent engine that made the Montreal a true grand tourer.
Collectors prize the Montreal for its combination of Gandini's supercar design and that race-bred V8. It's one of the few front-engine cars he designed in that era, and it shares visual DNA with his more famous mid-engine creations. With only around 3,900 built, it's a rare and special piece of Alfa Romeo history that offers a unique driving experience. It's more of a stylish GT car than a raw sports car, but its character is undeniable.
The market for Montreals has been firming up for years. Top-tier, restored cars regularly achieve six-figure prices, while project cars are rare but can be found for much less. The average sale price of over $63,000 shows that enthusiasts appreciate its unique qualities, but its complex SPICA fuel injection often keeps speculators at bay, making it a car bought primarily by dedicated enthusiasts.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the primary enemy. Thoroughly inspect the sills, jacking points, floor pans, and the areas around the front and rear windscreens.
- The SPICA mechanical fuel injection system is complex and requires specialist knowledge to set up correctly. A car with a well-sorted system is a huge plus. Some have been converted to carburetors, which purists often avoid.
- Montreal-specific parts, particularly exterior trim, headlight assemblies, and interior components, are very difficult to find and expensive. Ensure the car is complete.
- The V8 engine is generally reliable but can be very expensive to rebuild. Check for signs of oil leaks and listen for any timing chain noise on startup.
