This Alfa Romeo Montreal was sold new in Italy on January 10th of 1973, and seven years later was imported to the United States by a Los Angeles-based owner. It is believed to have lived much of its life in dry climates. It came from the factory with air-conditioning, a rare option that was installed on perhaps just 25% of the Montreals.
In August of 2003 it was discovered by its current owner. At the time it wore its original paint. The car was treated to a ground-up restoration which included new upholstery, restored stainless brightwork, and a repaint in white. The engine was given renewed valves, piston rings, bearings, and resealed along with the transmission and differential. The brake system was rebuilt with new hard lines and hoses as was the fuel system, and suspension components were re-bushed and powder coated. The restoration was completed in June of 2013.
