Engine
7.0L or 7.2L Chrysler 'Hemi' V8, up to 450 bhp

The Monteverdi 375/4 was a hand-built, four-door sports saloon produced in Switzerland by former BMW dealer Peter Monteverdi, riding a stretched spaceframe chassis powered by a Chrysler V8 engine. One of the rarest variants in a strictly limited range, this 1974 example carries an interior plaque recording a 1983 rebuild and US import in January 1986. Subsequent history includes a period in the Middle East before its current ownership began around 2012, since when it has been kept in static storage.

Are you the owner of this car?

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
