Monteverdi Information

I know they are Swiss, but at least they have Italian bodywork, so I will post this here. Hopefully, there are some Monteverdi historians out there. Does anybody have access to production records, or is anybody keeping a "register" of the cars? I am told the museum has records but will not release numbers of cars built. I wonder how many are in the US? I know Jay Leno and Bob Lutz are owners, anybody else out there.

 

Google is your friend, just for a starter: Monteverdi

 

olinde: Thank you for the suggestion, but I have thoroughly searched Google. Unless you personally know the location on the web of the production records, I have not found them or anything related to them. Please let me know if you have access to the records.

 

Sent a note to an acquaintance who owns a 375high. Here is his reply.

 

DenisC: Thank you, his reply would be great if I could read French.

 

My apology.
He recommends joining the Monteverdi Facebook page and/or contacting Maurice Mentes at MemoryLane Automotive as I he is a small brand specialist.

FWIW. Brummen Gallery in the Netherlands has a rare Monteverdi for sale

Denis: Thank you very much, I will pursue all your suggestions.

 

Interesting Cars DWR46.

Like Alfa Romeo and other exotic Cars, the 1973-1974 fuel crisis changed Monteverdi's direction.

Production totals are very scant and you may have all the info below, but by listing the models may bring a response.

Please post any updates.

 

Nigel: This is exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you. However, I notice the production numbers for the 375L (2+2) are missing, except for the one prototype. Would you be kind enough to recheck your data and maybe you can post them. Thanks again.

 

Monteverde and Frua split in a major disagreement in 1969.

Frua had built two 2+2 Coupes and one became the single 375 L (LWB) prototype - Wheelbase 2660 mm / Overall Length 4800 mm (375 S 2510 mm / 4560 mm).

Frua in 1971 converted the other 2+2 as one-off and sold it to AC Cars and it became an unique AC 429.

 

But how many 375L Fissore bodied cars?

 

Like so many of the Monteverdi models, production figures were not released and totals are unknown or speculative.

 

Reposted an update splitting the Frua and Fissore 375 L 2+2's and 2# 375 C's produced.

How many with Hemi engines? At least well-known Hai 450 SS of course.

 

Models with the 6974 cc V8 Chrysler Hemi engine:-
1970:Hai 450 SS
1971: High Speed 375 L (Fissore)
1972: Berlinetta
1973: Hai 450 GTS

 

1972: Berlinetta (must be this one)
