VEHICLE/EQUIPMENT INTRODUCTION:
The 1977 Alfa Romeo Montreal represented production nearing the end of its approximately seven-year manufacturing run. By this time the Montreal had cemented its reputation as one of the most technically advanced and beautiful GT cars of the nineteen seventies. Alfa Romeo hand-built the Tipo 33-derived 2593 cc all-aluminum V8 engine to exacting standards with each unit featuring DOHC per bank Spica mechanical fuel injection and dry-sump lubrication. These race-bred features ensured that the Montreal delivered not only impressive performance but also the kind of engineering sophistication found in Alfa Romeo sports prototype racing program. The de Dion rear suspension with inboard disc brakes maintained the Montreal chassis sophistication providing exceptional rear wheel control. The elegant Bertone bodywork with retractable headlight covers remained unchanged a recognition that the original design was essentially perfect. For owners today the 1977 Montreal is a prized possession and authentic service documentation is essential for correct maintenance.
