Welcome to my Monza's Homepage!

Here's a little background about the man behind the machine......

I started my fascination with h-bodies after acquiring my first at the age of 18.  The one that started it all was a 1978 2+2 fastback.  It was a light blue, 305 2 barrel.  It came equipped with a 4 spd, posi (that someone had changed to a 3.23 ratio) and all the spyder options on a 2+2 for $300.  The body was rough, but hey, it WAS a v8 monza right!  That one eventually had to be "put down" (read "scrapped"), but i kept all the v8 parts including many unneeded parts.  After that, I acquired a '78 sunbird formula with a factory v8 and stick all for $150. Both of the afformentioned were driven away.

One of three engines that fit snuggly into the car.

My son, Ryan, the jr mechanic, gives it a thumbs up!!

GM H-body Owners Association Club--- an awesome club for H-body owners to gather and swap info and tips Bob Gumm's "How to build a v8 vega/monza" website--- another great site for tips and info

As a side note, the monza in the above pictures has since been stripped, scrapped, and shredded. it has been replaced by a cleaner and soon to be nicer h-body.
