Chassis No. AR1425633. Orange over black leather. 2593-cc, 227-hp V-8, 5-speed manual. Campagnolo wheels, Michelin X tires, wood-rim steering wheel, and power windows.

EVALUATION : Enthusiast restoration | Represented with a refurbishment in 2017–18 and claimed to have had the engine rebuilt sometime before. The paint—which is impossible to ignore, given the color—is fresh and mostly good, but there are a few masking errors near the windows and some runs on the headlight doors. Lightly scratched rear glass. Lightly pitted brightwork and door handles. Newer seat covers and the carpets look new, but the rest of the interior is original and showing its age. Unrestored but maintained underneath. A Montreal is a sweet car with a great soundtrack, and this one will get the job done, especially given its recent sorting, but it’s a little disappointing up close.

BOTTOM LINE : Imperfect car attracts mediocre money—a common headline at Scottsdale 2020.
