1976 Monza Mirage

I had a factory small block 75 Monza when I was a kid. Only a two barrel carb, but was lots of fun when you found an empty parking lot, locked the steering left or right then-you could do unlimited tire spinning.

Fun car. I never put any modifications on it, and as I recall the drivers side spark plug was impossible to change without partially removing the engine. The Small block in this car was a real GM shoe-horn job. Very Tight.

Wasn't California the only state to get the Small block Monza with a 350? Somthing to do with the other motors failing emissions. Go figure!

Mine was equipped with the 262 V8. As I recall it made a 110 hp.

I came a across an article on this car that said they were sent from assembly line to a co. called Michigan Auto Techniques (MAT)who did the conversion work then sent car to dealer. It said the option code is ZX-1
