They are,yes, because the car is based on Ford mechanicals.

Think that's all there is to it.  Believe it was based on a Granada.

It was indeed Ford Granada based, using its six-cylinder 2.8-litre engine.  That said, I don't think it was driveable.

That one looks like a four door? It certainly has a rear quarterlight window that the silver car doesn't....

A four-door version was made by Monteverdi as well.

Does anyone know what the red pick-up is next to the Monterverdi though as I can't identify it.  Thanks.

I think it might be slightly (roof) beefed-up Fissore Fiat Ritmo pick-up. 
Perhaps als15 can confirm.
