1976 Alfa Romeo Montreal – Iconic Italian V8 Grand Tourer, Low Mileage, Beautifully Preserved Example
This 1976 Alfa Romeo Montreal is a striking and increasingly rare example of one of Alfa Romeo’s most iconic creations. Known for its avant-garde styling and advanced engineering, the Montreal combines bold aesthetics with a high-revving V8 engine, resulting in a truly unique driving experience. With just 18,000 miles from new and only two owners, this example is a well-preserved, collector-grade car that captures the best of 1970s Italian performance and design.
Under the hood lies a 2.6-liter V8 engine derived from Alfa’s racing pedigree, originally adapted from the Tipo 33 prototype. The engine features mechanical fuel injection and dry sump lubrication, delivering strong, responsive performance with a characterful exhaust note that matches the car’s exotic looks. Paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, the Montreal offers a lively and engaging driving experience that still feels special today.
Finished in a classic Italian color scheme, the exterior design is one of the Montreal’s most compelling features. Created by Marcello Gandini at Bertone, the design showcases sharp lines, distinctive headlight grilles that retract when not in use, louvered C-pillars, and a wide, low stance that gives the car a muscular yet elegant appearance. It’s a car that turns heads and rewards close inspection with countless fascinating details.
The interior continues the theme of stylish originality, blending luxurious materials with a sporty, driver-centric layout. High-backed seats, a signature instrument cluster, and carefully appointed switchgear give the Montreal a cockpit-like feel that reminds you this is no ordinary grand tourer. Every surface and design decision speaks to the craftsmanship and flair that defined Italian sports cars of the era.
With limited production numbers—fewer than 4,000 units built between 1970 and 1977—the Alfa Romeo Montreal has become a desirable and increasingly hard-to-find collector car. This particular example stands out for its low mileage, careful long-term ownership, and original condition, making it a rare opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
