Oh man, I'm *so* tempted to bid on this
Is it meant to have the stance of an off roader...?
AFAIK, yes.
Aside from lots of unobtanium bits being missing from it - you're unlikely to be able to fire it up and hear it run, and engine rebuilds on those are of Ferrari-esque proportions.
And, no, they're definitely *not* meant to ride that high.
Jeesus, I'm tempted.
If it's dead, pull it out and stick a small Chevy/Ford/Mopar/Rover block in there. Plenty of sources about.
Well, somebody bought it.
£5575.
HFM!?
Seriously, that's not too far off the money for a tidy, tested, runner.
Someone got a bit carried away, I think.
Bugger that, I want to know about the pair of 75s sat behind it.
The ride height appears to be due to the wrong tyres, on the right wheels and suspension settings.
It's also a fairly easy engine to rebuild. Easier than Ferraris of that age anyway. The block's nice and solid, not an egg crate that isn't rigid until the cam covers are in place. A lot of parts-bin engineering went into them, so the bits have decent availability too. Injection is Spica (imagine Lucas mechanical, only not crap), so there's little to go wrong with it anyway. Production tune level for the engine was barely luke-warm so they last well. And it's Spica injection, so it's so difficult to tune no-one really bothered.
Famously so, the Montreal is also the only Alfa that wasn't a rot box.
As for the missing trim, then that's easy. It looks better without it anyway.
