Okay...Here goes! When my brother bought the 1967 RS/SS Camaro as seen in my other post, the neighbor across the street (who was a Chevrolet Regional Manager in California) had a cool looking Monza, that I believe was a concept/show car for Chevrolet.
It was the town coupe body style and was painted a root beer brown color. It had Monza SS badging (decals) all over the car, and had 350 four speed combo. On the dash, I remember seeing a plaque that said something like "Chevrolet Motor Division-Monza SS Serail number 001"
Does anyone remember this car at the auto shows in 1975? I know that the Regional Manager owned this car as of 1983.
While trying to find information on this car, I came acroos this information on the internet.
"There was a special option K-code car as well. This 1975 California Monza included a 350 4-barrel engine. There are currently only two known to exist. One is owned by Tony Underwood in Ohio and the other is in Southern California. The car located in Southern California is a demo car only. Tony's car is especially rare in that it had 4-speed (rumored to not be available on California cars) and an Astro roof and no Air Conditioning (rare on a California car). Only two Monzas are documented to have had the Astro roof conversion. It is rumored that Tony's car was a special order executive or dealer car that was not available to the general public. It is likely one of the rarest publicly-held Monzas in existence."
I know for a fact that I have pictures of this car somewhere...now, where to find them?
