History:
According to Archivio Alfa Romeo's documentation files: the chassis number AR 1428259 originally corresponds to an Alfa Romeo Montreal (105.64), manufactured on the 5th June 1973 and sold on the 25th July 1973 in Enna, Italy. The body colour is metallic orange (AR 602), with black cloth interiors. I am told the car was imported into the United States in 1992 by its second owner. It was registered in Massachusetts as a 1972 Alfa Romeo with a Massachusetts vehicle ID number. In 2004, I purchased the car from a dealer.
