The CarDomain Obscure Muscle Car Parking Lot: The 1975 – 79 Chevrolet Monza V-8

Welcome to another edition of the CarDomain Obscure Muscle Car Parking Lot, where we discover cars that were never really thought of as Muscle Cars, and to try and change your mind about them. In the mid 70’s the Muscle Car was all but dead, or was it? Chevrolet introduced a new compact rear-wheel drive car in 1971 called the Vega. Now, a lot has been written about what a piece of crap the Vega turned out to be, and I can’t dispute that. However, the chassis designed for the Vega was pretty good, and when properly tweaked, it could be a champ. So GM produced a sexy little brawler using the chassis of the Vega, incorporated some design influence from Ferrari, dusted off a name last used on the Corvair, and dropped in an optional V-8. But is it a Muscle Car? Let’s find out if the Chevy Monza belongs in the Parking Lot.

The Chevrolet Monza 2+2 was originally offered as a 2-door hatchback body style which was shared with the Oldsmobile Starfire and Buick Skyhawk. The Monza was 4 inches longer and weighed 180 pounds more than the Vega from which it was derived. There are reports that it was nicknamed the Italian Vega by John Z. DeLorean (yes, that John DeLorean) because styling has a strong resemblance to the Ferrari 365 GTC/4. The Monza 2+2 and its variants were among the first cars to adopt the newly approved quad rectangular headlamps. Monza’s standard engine was the Vega 2.3 liter aluminum-block inline 4-cylinder with a single barrel carburetor, generating 78 horsepower with an optional 2-barrel carburetor version that generated 87 horsepower. That doesn’t sound like a lot of power, but Chevrolet’s new 4.3 liter (262 cid) V-8 engine was optional. It featured a Rochester 2-barrel carburetor that would generate 110 horsepower. Monzas sold in California and high altitude areas of the U.S. were available with a version of the 5.7 liter (350 cid) V-8 engine with a 2-barrel carburetor tuned to put out 125 hp.
