The dry-sump 2.6-liter V8 engine produced around 200 horsepower. Additionally, the Montreal featured SPICA fuel injection.
It also features a four-wheel independent suspension, and disc brakes all around.
The value of this particular car is in its originality and rareness. Only as many as 3,925 examples of the Montreal were constructed in all (many of which are red, which makes this one even more rare), with the majority of production through 1977 sold new in Europe and far fewer imported to North America.
This cars starts, runs and drives well. However, it has sitting for long (at my temperature-controlled storage) so may need some refreshing. The engine sounds good and is very healthy. The transmission shifts well through the gears. The clutch is very good. The body and gold paint are excellent for the mileage and age, and only notable flaws are a dent in the front left fender and some bubbles in the rocker, and minor dings and scratches all around.
Underside and floors are solid. See underside pictures in this link (copy and paste):

It is not a restored car, but certainly in good driver shape. Same for the cloth interior, which is also excellent for the mileage and age, with normal wear. All glass, chrome and trim is in very nice shape. Wood steering wheel, headliner, door panels and carpets are in great shape.
The car is mostly original. The suspension and brakes perform good. The original OEM wheels are very good. All major electrical parts and gauges work. Odometer shows 09766, but true mileage is unknown. It has clean NJ title.
Overall, a very solid unrestored Montreal that will certainly continue to go up in value. It is not perfect, but only needs some refreshing due to sitting.

The car is sold AS IS. I encourage you to come and inspect this beauty in person, or send an inspector.
