Except for the boeing 747 wing....It is kind of different....

"different" isn't quite what I was thinking. Did you see that Buy-It-Now??? I don't think there is $19,000.00 worth of parts on that thing.

Ummm, yeah. I like these comments;

Carter AFB racing carb, Six speed Richmond Racing Transmission, Accelerates like a sport bike

I didn't realize the AFB was such a hot "racing" application carb, and ohhh a Richmond "racing" version of the same 6-speed everyone else can buy. Maybe he meant accelerates like a 250 sport bike, because at only 450HP it isn't accelerating like any Ducati.

Got rag on them....I hate when dealers get a hold of this stuff and misrepresent so bad.

Actually....it looks like the guy has a lot of hard work into it. It's not a bad build. And I'll bet it goes pretty good too. But Monza's are not very exciting, and that wing is absolutely ridiculous.

When I saw the pic in the auction I thought I had seen it before in some magazine. I did, Car Craft 1984 and it states that in the auction. That thing predates the BIG RED and was probably cutting edge at the time.

Okay... I guess I'm just crazy. I really like that car. If that is a real Monza Mirage, it's possible it has some racing "history."

The wing is a little too big, but that could be fixed.

I'm sure the guy has at least 2 times the "buy-it-now" price invested. It's really easy to get over your head. I'm sure that I'm not the only guy on Pro-Touring who is over his head on money invested.

would have been cool in the 80's, not so much today.

I used to have a soft spot for the imsa syle cars, built a lot of car models with the greenwood body kits. Its different.
Maybe the wing should be larger...

[vanzuuk1]

Wouldnt that wing lift the front of the car as it pushed on the rear?

[nitrovette]

I kind of like it,wing could be shortened some,but i like the greenwood and imsa style bodys.

I bought a new 1977 Monza Mirage in early 1978. The car sat on the showroom for quite awhile before I came along. I modified the car quite a bit but nothing like that. That car is kinda cool in its own way,though.

Anybody notice the superbee in his garage??

LOL, I'm sorry folks, but I thought all the ricerocket wings were bad!
