<VV> 1965 Monza "Spyder"

[airvair]

Actually there really ARE several documented cases of the factory issued
'65 Monza Spyder. Saw one myself at the '75 Birmingham regional
convention. It was a red in and out coupe, and it had the '65 black
Corsa style dash and black glove box with the Monza emblem on it.
Outside it had the Monza cross AND the Spyder emblems on the front
fenders. Dave Newell has found several of these cars in existance.
