Your car has one rare engine in it for sure. A Montreal V8 is worth a fortune. I always wanted a Montreal...They are just a "bella macchina"

I bought the engine/transaxle from Canada from a wreck, took me two years to get all the engine parts, but it's bored and stroked, has pretty hot cams, and now displaces 4.4l and makes 425hp! My wheels for it came from Australia, and it has the big brakes from a later Alfetta GTV!

I still to this day kick myself over the $2000 Pantera I let slip through my fingers. Althout $2000 was a more significant sum in 1984 and it had a grenaded transmsission and I didnt have $2000

.

Then there was the guy that came into the shop I worked at in '84. He had a very early Shelby Cobra with the 260, ratty interior and dinged up body. He wanted $28K for it. I couldnt stop laughing.

I found some photos of my Alfa. First outside of my parents house & the second is me replacing the motor mounts.

One of these days when I am REAL bored I'll have to pick up a first series 66-69 spider. Love the trunk lid.

Man, if I was looking for an Alfa Spider, this is what I would get!

1961 Alfa Giulietta Sprint Special

One of the guys I grew up with inherited from his father a 1959 2000 spider, which he drove while in college. Just like this one pictured and that is how I fell in love with Alfa's. His father previously had a 1957 or 1958 Giulietta Spider which he wrecked after drinking too much and driving. He then bought the 2000 and gave it to my friend around 1968.

Yup, My Dad's first car was a 61 Spider Giuleitta sprint, and I got the bug from him, LOVED that little Alfa and have been hooked ever since!
Got my 69 GTV in highschool and fixed it up on a real tight budget, but it was an awesome car, until I over revved it and blew the engine!

That little 1750 was a screamer, but the V-8 turned it into a fire breathing road monster! Alfa sure built an awesome sport car, they were way WAY better then anything else made in those days, and they are getting very popular now days because of that!
