In terms of Seventies Italian sports activities vehicles, the Lamborghini Miura and Ferrari Dino get all the eye. And rightfully so. Ferrari and Lamborghini have been accountable for a number of the most stunning vehicles of the period. However remember concerning the Alfa Romeo Montreal.

The Montreal was arguably one of the underrated Italian sports activities vehicles of the Seventies based mostly on seems alone. It was sculpted by iconic designer Marcello Gandini whereas working at Bertone, who, satirically, additionally created the Miura only a yr earlier.

Today, you should buy a drivable Alfa Romeo Montreal for an affordable $60,000. Evaluate that to the Miura and Dino, which usually go for six or seven figures at public sale, and the Alfa is an absolute steal by comparability.

This specific one is an attention-grabbing instance. Hidden away in a storage in Astoria, Oregon, it meets our definition of a “barn discover”—or a “storage discover” if you wish to be extra particular. It’s a 1972 mannequin with a rebuilt twin-cam V-8 and a five-speed handbook. When new, the Montreal’s 2.0-liter engine made 200 horsepower.

That’s to not say it’s excellent, although. The wheels are aftermarket, there’s some apparent paint and physique injury, and the unique inside may most likely use a deep clear—though, the cabin remains to be in surprisingly good condition.

The vendor is asking $60,000 on Craigslist, and the automobile is absolutely drivable. Even at that worth, although, it’s a screaming deal. Nonetheless, you will want to supply the unique wheels and spend some cash on bodywork. So, hopefully the vendor is keen to knock a couple of bucks off the ultimate asking worth.

Both means, it’s a gorgeous and oft-forgotten piece of Italian motoring historical past.
