Monza GT?

I bought a monza gt wagon yesterday that is in
near perfect condition. I don't guess I've ever seen
one before. The hood opens to the front like a
vega,has GT emblems in the grille,on the tailgate, The
grille is different too,the GT is right in the center.
If anybody can tell me anything about the monza gt I
would sure appreciate it. I guess I couldn't luck out
and find another rare one. I have a '79 Sunbird with
factory V-8, I hear it is pretty rare,if anyone can shed
some light on that too I'd appreciate that too.

Thanks,
Kirk

Geez, Kirk, I think you got screwed. You should
unload it on me; CHEAP!

Seriously, it sounds like
you have a '78-'79 car. When the Vega was
discontinued in 1977, the remaining hatchback bodies were
fitted with Monza Town Coupe front ends and sold as
Monza "S" hatchbacks. I don't know if they still
produced the wagon body or if these were still in
inventory, but they were produced as Monza wagons (and the
various clones such as Sunbirds, etc.) What was nice
about these cars was they were the only Vega-body cars
available with factory V-6 engines (don't think the V-8 was
an option). Also, by then the aluminum 140 was
discontinued and they came with the 151 Iron Duke. I did not
know they were available in GT trim, so you've got a
nice find. For more information, check out
www.h-body.org in the FAQ and brochures sections. E-mail
picyures if you can. Let me know if you ever want to get
rid of it!
