Except that the red one in the pic is an 85. The closest thing to a GT in 84 was an Indy.
But I'm happy to see that we're getting some love.
(As to the others, I have had several Chevy Monzas or their clones. Fun cars, especially with a 350/four speed. I still lust after a '73 Chevelle.)

I want one of those 1945 Corvettes or 1977 S-10 Blazers.

Doesn't anyone proofread that stuff? Maybe that will become a big job for actual humans - proofreading AI crap.

Hahaha... yeah, I saw that and was like... man, did they spend any time at all researching this?

The Monza that I've been dying for, is the one that Pontiac made, specifically, the Astre "Lil Wide-Track." I would kill for one, and I already know what I want to do with it.

I would keep it looking very stock, but I'd go with wider rear tires (wider in, no offset), and I'd swap out the Iron Duke (or whatever is in there) with a 3500 V6 mated to an Aisin 5-Speed.

I'd go nuts with dynomat and sound deadening (even fill the A and B pillars with expanding foam), strip, prime, paint rubberized undercoating along the entire underside of the car, swap out the ugly steering wheel with a Pontiac Rally steering wheel, give it improved brakes and a fully-independent rear suspension with the upgraded front-suspension that they offer... Custom Autosound stereo, and then drive it like I stole it. Oh yeah, and yellow fog lamps on the front.

It's like a little Trans Am!

Good luck finding a first gen MR2 that hasn't dissolved....

No, it looks like a Chevrolet Vega.



The Vega is the Father of the Monza. I have had many Vegas. Sometimes two at a time, like Fieros. The V8 Archie in those days was Don Hardy. He was a racing legend and also built excellent customized engines. He also built the conversion "kit" where one could put a small block Chevy engine in as a swap for the anemic problematic four cylinder. I swapped in a 350 Vega in one, and later swapped in a small block 400 in another one. Heh, a Chevy 396 is a big block.

Thinking of buying it so I can put it next to my1989 GT that I have stored since the day I bought it.
By the way, the 89 has ZERO miles on it.

I am not so sure that prices of collector cars will be rising that much, The youngsters don't have the money but may buy the cheap unrestored poor condition vehicles and the interest in hobbies by this group is just not there. The young marrieds or ones that have just started a family may not have the disposable income as they are buying homes , furniture and other items. The older folks may already have their collectibles and their interest may not be as it once was. The seniors will deal with retirement, relocation , downsizing and even health problems. The question then becomes who will buy the collector cars in the future and pay more?

Look it has to be true. I saw on the web Lincoln owned one before he was stabbed.
