1976 Chevrolet Monza 2+2

[Tom99]

I picked up this unbuilt MPC 1976 Monza 2+2 kit at Goodwill. I had to pay all of $3.99 for it.

Nice! I like it.

Not bad, I got on this summer at a auto flee market 10 bucks, so you did good.

Nice car. I got the AMT kit of the Monza SS on eBay at around 15 EUR (17 bucks) some time ago. As this is a rare kit at least here in Germany, it was an okay deal.

Looks very nice.  I really liked this car back in the day.

When did the Monza come out? I didn't think they were around as early as 76.

OK, I thought they were still Vegas then.

Maybe I was thinking about Barettas.

Great score and build!  I always liked these when new, much better looking than the 'X' cars from the General.

The Monza (and its corporate siblings) were known as H-Special , whereas the Chevrolet-only Vega was simply H-Body . 

I wish that I could've bought my friends' dad's '75 Vega coupe ( think : not the liftback body style ; more like a hardtop ) . It needed a lot of work , but was complete and operational .

Nice.

Nicely done! Can't say I have seen many of these over the years.
