Freddy Da' Grump raced one So we should all know about this! (I seen an assembled kit at the "Hobby Shop" about two years ago That is how I know) I had to check to see if it was a real car and the stock version is on Bryan's Site (fyrftr 50? Monza Homesteaders) and later found a model on one of my eBay searches for "Monza" Harry
I'm not a hoarder I'm a preservationist 78 Monza Spyder (~Soon(ish +/- I guess) To Be 2+2 with Spoilers)

Fred- 30 or so years ago I built the same "Twister" kit, but I made a few modifications; I filled in the hood scoop, made a rear spoiler and re-engineered the grill to make it look more like the 76 GT I had at the time. And swapped the wheels for 2nd Gen Z/28 rallys.
It's quite a coincidence that we painted them the same color.....
