Vehicle Description
STK 3859 1977 Chevrolet Monza Spyder
The Chevrolet Monza, introduced in 1975, was a compact car aimed at
the growing market for smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles. Chevy
manufactured various models of the Monza in 1977, but never one
like this Spyder. The Monza was carefully restored in 2009 and is a
work-of-art. (The owner states that the Spyder appeared in the
June, 2015 issue of Super Chevy Magazine.) The exterior appears
basically stock, except for the removal of door handles, but with
an attitude. The straight body was professionally refinished in
2-stage Lamborghini California Orange. A time-honored hood/deck
strip with pinstriping and an aggressive Spyder hood image complete
the dynamic exterior. The Monza strikes an intimidating stance on
15" Billet Specialty alloys that mount M/T Street Radials. The
impressive interior is equally stunning. Comfortable bucket seats
are upholstered in gray vinyl w/orange leather inserts. A custom
fiberglass dash features a turned metal instrument panel
w/Intellitronix digital gauges and a premium Pioneer AM/FM/CD sound
system. It is also fitted with a custom console, tilt spoke wheel
and power tinted windows. A four-function key FOB operates doors,
hood and rear liftgate. Everything is top-shelf ... door cards,
headliner, carpeting .... everything. (The Monza is also equipped
with a complete VintageAir system, but it has never been
charged.)
Horsepower is furnished by a 364ci GM LS2 engine donated by an 2006
GTO. It
is said to output 450bhp and resides in a spotless custom engine
compartment. A Tremec 6-speed manual transfers torque to a narrowed
Ford 9" Trac-Lok differential with 3.70:1 gears. This powerhouse
produces a somewhat muted roar through stainless tube headers and a
custom exhaust w/dual resonators. By 'noise-definition', this Monza
is certainly a Sleeper. The unibody chassis has been replaced with
a custom 2x4 box steel full frame w/tubbed rear fenderwells. It is
fitted with Heidt's Superide II front suspension and parallel
4-link rear suspension. Other features include power steering,
Wilwood front/rear power disc brakes, coil-over shocks and a
stainless fuel tank. This Monza Spyder is a quality Bowtie street
rod - you will not be disappointed. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
