Love the Montreal. Those were unique for an Alfa because they had an alluminium V8.
Beautiful Bertone body work.

Some high quality looking models there Steve, thanks for showing them!

I had one of that style Mitsubishi; it was a great car and very well built. I also had the next generation car. Both were Dodge sold versions but all the goodness was pure Mitsubishi. The second one, a five speed, was surprisingly fun to drive and nimble. I used both of the Colts as sacrificial winter cars when living in Illinois and they both did excellent jobs for me.

In a preview of what would be what is now a common problem, especially in big cities, the second Mitsu I had got hit in Chicago while stopped at an intersection - by a driver with no driver's license, no English, no license plates, no insurance and no money. We call them illegal aliens now. Fortunately I only suffered some property damage to the Colt but I think it is a lot worse for many people now - especially in California and Arizona.

A dry sumped version of the T33 race engine - not one for the inexperienced :p
