1972 Alfa Romeo Montreal

Description

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. The first owner purchased the car in Italy on May 31, 1972, and in turn sold it to the second Italian owner on May 7, 1975. Two years later on April 21, 1977 the third owner purchased the car in Italy, and in the fall of that year imported it to his home in Lawrence, Massachusetts. It was acquired in June 1978 by another Massachusetts resident, the fourth owner, who kept the car for 19 years before selling it to the previous owner in May 1997 with 58,620 kms (36,425 miles). He added a little over 500 miles per year until recently passing away.
Recent mechanical service included an upgraded Bosch fuel pump, oil change, and new air filters. Original owner’s manuals, an Italian service booklet, and other documents verify mileage and are included in the sale along with a clear title.The body is straight with no signs of any rust repair, or metal replacement. 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. All other lights and indicators are fully functional.
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 14" Campagnolo magnesium-aluminum alloy wheels have a few blemishes and wear BF Goodrich Radial T/As with good tread left.
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.
The factory Jaeger gauges are all in working order with the odometer showing 91,766 kilometers. The lights, clock, and remaining switchgear are functioning properly, and an aftermarket Blaupunkt AM/FM cassette radio was fitted by a previous owner.
Documents include the previous bill of sale and title, as well as the original Italian service book, sales brochure, and owner’s manual.
