Review by Pete Vack
This book focuses exclusively on the Tipo 105.64 Alfa Romeo Montreal. As with all of the Dasse 105 books, the Montreal volume is filled with detailed photos of the cars as they were introduced and built, providing a valuable source of information for restorers and mechanics. There are also many images of the Montreal as it was prepared and shipped to the International Exposition, the prototypes that followed, and the final production models that were built between 1971 and 1975, and the unsuccessful racing efforts in Europe.
The 264 pages contain solely contemporary photographs, which for the most part are published here for the first time, documenting this car. The documentation covers the Montreal models produced by Alfa Romeo between 1971 and 1977.Also included is information concerning the vehicle identification numbers and production numbers.

A member of my Detroit chapter of AROC has a flawless example. He moved to the US from Australia so brought his right hand drive Montreal with him. In addition to the Bobcor IMSA car the AROC documented a Montreal that was built as a NHRA drag racer when the Montreal first came out. Sadly that car wasn’t competitive either. It would be extremely difficult to build a car with no established experience or developement in drag racing…sort of a fish out of water.
An ALFA independent shop owner in San Francisco imported a Montreal in the 70s. I drove it once. Seemed to be a solid nice GT but not nimble like GTVs and spiders of the day. It had a nice body but as mentioned in this article…more angular and to me less handsome than the prototypes.
They are neat cars. They weren’t sold in the US except “back door” due to not complying with various smog regulations of the day.
