My brother had a Monza Spyder.. melted on him.. : )
The wiring caught fire while he was burnin up the highway.. and apparently the car is mostly plastic.. lol. Wasn't much left of it.

It was a fun car, but he said he would never touch one again. He had nothing but trouble. Kinda like the old AMC's that would fall apart on the interior.. unless you went in there weekly and tightened it up.

LMFAO! No kidding. Had a 1978(?) POS AMC Matador wagon. Big ol' hoopty and ugly as sin. Would send my friends and I for a ride when I'd rock it with gas 'n brake. The whole seat would rock!

It RUNS AND DRIVES! YAAA HOOOEY! Man does this thing have some low down torque. 1st gear is way to low though. I'll be switching out the 4.33 open diff for a 3.73 LSD unit soon. Still need the front glass and the exhaust. The driveshaft was only $129, not bad at all. Here are a few more pics of the engine bay.

looks like it was mean to be ( well almost) lol too bad you didnt get a chance to beat on it a bit with the 7mgte in it, i bet you would have been very suprised at the get-up-and-go. maybe there is a race in order??? haha.

Oh I can't WAIT tell I pull up next to another MKIII or MKIV! They'd better have some serious modifications for it to even be a race. I raced a modified '87 Grand National (Turbo 3.8 liter) when I had this motor in my Corvette. Spanked him pretty bad.
