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.)

Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans
Fri, 18 Jan 2013As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:
Next-gen Mazda MX-5 Miata mule spied 'Ring testing
Wed, 23 Oct 2013Fans of simple, lightweight motoring, rejoice - we now have images of the next-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata undergoing testing at der Nürburgring Nordschleife. Now, to be fair, this isn't some lightly camouflaged example that will give us a great peak of what the next Miata, which will also become the next Alfa Romeo Spider, will look like. This is a mule, with the new bits hidden under a current Miata's body. That doesn't mean there aren't a few scraps of valuable information here, though.
According to our flock of camera-toting spies at the Nürburgring, the next Miata is likely to grow a bit, as new models are wont to do. In particular, it will be longer and wider, and the wheelbase is likely going to be stretched, based on the shape of the wheel wells and doors. Both of those factors will add more space in the cabin.
Those are the big indications provided by these photos, but while the MX-5 might be growing, it's a safe bet based on these images that it, and the (likely pricier) Alfa, will retain the classic, long-hood, short-deck styling that so typifies rear-drive roadsters.
Chrysler appoints new heads of Alfa Romeo and Ram
Mon, 18 Aug 2014Chrysler has announced to two key appointments to its senior leadership, both of them taking immediate effect. First up is Reid Bigland, who has been named head of the Alfa Romeo brand for North America. Bigland has served until now as head of the Ram Truck brand, a portfolio he now hands over to Robert Hegbloom, who had served until now as its director.
As a result of the appointments, both Bigland and Hegbloom will take up seats on Chrysler's NAFTA Leadership Team, and Bigland will also join the Fiat Chrysler Group Executive Council - the highest decision-making body in the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles empire.
As per Sergio Marchionne's leadership style, Bigland will continue to serve in two major capacities, maintaining his role as president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Other senior executives who hold multiple key portfolios include Harald Wester (who serves as the group's Chief Technology Officer and also overseas Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Abarth), Olivier Francois (group Chief Marketing Officer and head of the Fiat brand) and Michael Manley (head of the Asia-Pacific region and the Jeep brand).
