1970 Alfa Romeo Montreal on 2040-cars
Rochester, New York, United States
Just email me at: steve.orcholski@chewiemail.com .
I have for sale a very special Montreal. Montreals are special as is, with its 4 cam dry sump 230HP engine, ZF
transmission, and arguably the most exotic lines Alfa introduced for production. But like I said this car is a very
special Montreal. This Montreal, serial # 1425102 is the second car built, the earliest car in private hands, (its
sister car, #5101 is in the Alfa museum) known as a pre-production prototype, with many features unique only to
#5101 and #5102. That being said should be enough to distinguish this car from the rest. But like I said, this car
is special. #5102 is the very car that was chosen to be unvailed and represent. Alfa Romeo at the famed Geneva
Salon Auto Show in 1970. This car was manufactured in very early 1970 but Alfa "officially" dates production as Jan
29, 1971, same as its sister car in Arese. The Alfa factory retained these cars for promotional purposes and were
shown together in many publicity photos worldwide, gracing the cover of April 1970 magazine "IL Quadrifoglio". In
1977, Alfa sold # 5102 when the production of Montreals ended and all its inventory sold. The first to own was an
Italian collector who sold it to a Swiss collector in the early 1980's. In 2001 I bought it from the 3rd (Swiss)
owner who owned it for 11 years and I imported it into the United States.
This car is in nice presentable condition, originally Metallic Green it wears the Orange you see now, ( orange was
the most popular color for Montreals) repainted by it 2nd owner. The motor starts quickly every time and idles
beatifully even when cold. The previous owner installed 4 new camshafts and it pulls strong right up to its redline
without missing a beat making all the wonderfull noises a 4 cam motor makes. The ZF transmission with its short
throws, shifts quick and precise, nothing at all like a 4 cylinder Alfa transmission. The rear differential with
its finned magnesium sump cooler works properly. The interior is in nice shape with a beautiful new set of wool
carpets. The suspension has lower and slightly stiffer springs with bilstein gas shocks to improve its handling.
The original front brake calipers were replaced with ones originally designed for the Alfa Sei sedan, having 4
pistons instead of 2 to considerably improve braking power.)

Share price falls on skepticism of Chrysler-Fiat five-year plan
Thu, 08 May 2014Following this week's Fiat Chrysler extravaganza, where the Italian-American manufacturer announced its plans for the next five years, the Autoblog staff was cautiously optimistic of the company's future. Investors? Not so much.
Fiat saw its shares tumble 12 percent in Wednesday's trading, falling from 8.67 euros ($12.06 at today's rates) to 7.44 euros ($10.35) as of this writing, with blame partly going to the Italian half of the FCA marriage, which recorded a pretty significant drop in profits during the first quarter of this year.
The plan, which will cost around $77 billion over the next several years, is facing criticism from investors thanks in part to a 1.4-percent drop in Fiat's first-quarter profits, to 622 million euros ($862 million). That figure is also short of Bloomberg analysts' projections, which predicted $1.18 billion in profits before taxes, interest and one-time items.
Just 45% of Fiat dealers are profitable, and they're angry about it
Mon, 07 Oct 2013<
On average, Fiat dealers have only been selling about 17 cars a month.
We've been wondering for some time how Fiat dealers in North America have been getting along with just one model range in their showrooms up until recently. Franchisees spent millions building, stocking and manning sleek new 'studio' showrooms, only to have but a single model to sell, the cherubic 500. And even with its many derivatives, the Cinquecento is still an inexpensive model with its attendant lower margins. Perhaps it should come as no surprise then, that just 45 percent of US Fiat dealers are said to be profitable.
CEO says Volkswagen's buying spree is over
Mon, 03 Sep 2012
After adding Italian motorcycle icon Ducati to its stable and spending $5.6 billion on the rest of Porsche, Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn says he's done shopping for a while.
"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
