The styling is nice but I smell a quirky, unmaintainable nightmare than spends more time on the lift than on the road.

@MonkeyZero except it's a much larger 2 door sedan.

my take is that it's a cool looking car.
but it has a '71 chrysler 440 in it.
kinda like the Jensen's.

Larger yes, leg room in the back? Nope. So what's the point? I could get a 280Z up over 350hp and be able to buy 10 more at the same price as one of those. And it would look almost identical. Meh I say. Meh.

WOW, the old site of the Montiverdi factory is maybe 4 km from my house in Binnigen, CH. You see these here sometimes, but they are really rare cars even in Switzerland. As for reliability, most of the cars of this era had big Chrysler V8's and running gear. That particular model had a Chrysler 440 Magnum motor in it.
