Why it matters
The Montreal began as a show car for the 1967 Expo in Montreal and became a production coupe with a V8 derived from a racing engine. The engine came from the Tipo 33 Stradale programme and gave Alfa Romeo an unusually powerful road car. It is regarded as one of the marque's most distinctive road cars of the 1970s.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
Alfa Romeo was chosen to create a conceptual exhibit for the 1967 Expo in Montreal and gave the bodywork to Bertone, where Marcello Gandini led the design. Two identical prototypes were prepared for the show.
Strong public interest led Alfa to build a production version on the 105 Series platform. In place of the usual twin-cam four, it used a V8 with aluminium construction, double overhead camshafts and dry-sump lubrication. The museum records 3,925 cars built from 1970 to 1977.
