Penned by Marcello Gandini for Bertone, who famously created the iconic Miura just one year before, Alfa Romeo launched its "Montreal" concept car to the world at the Expo 67 World's Fair in Montreal. Three years later, Alfa Romeo debuted the Montreal as a production model at the 1970 Geneva Auto Salon. While strikingly similar stylistically to the Expo 67 concept, the production model abandoned the Giulia's four-cylinder for a high-revving quad-cam V8 based on the 2.0-liter Tipo 33 Stradale engine. Despite its eye-catching design and exhilarating performance, the Montreal's higher-than-expected sticker price-surpassing that of the Jaguar E-Type and Porsche 911-only 3,925 examples produced by 1977.

Its original build sheet sourced from Centro Documentazione Alfa Romeo, shows that this Montreal left the factory in October 1971 finished in Arancio Metallizzato (Metallic Orange) with a Nero interior and delivered new to Milan, Italy. After production, this Italian-market Montreal made its way to the United States like so many special European sports cars of its era. Of recent note, in March 2024 nearly $16,000 was spent on a detailed service by Eurofed of Jacksonville, Florida. This work included servicing the fuel system with an overhaul of the Spica fuel injection pump, with the thermostatic valve and fuel filter also replaced. At the same time, the ignition system received significant work, where its parts were removed for cleaning and rewiring while a new coil, spark plugs, and plug wires were installed. The work at Eurofed also included a new muffler. At the time of cataloging, this Montreal is offered with 92,899 kilometers or just under 58,000 miles and is sold with a copy of its Alfa Romeo Certificato Di Origine, jack, tools, and spare.
