Sport Coupe

H-BODY PAGE

  The Monza Sport Coupe was not so

much a special edition car as it was an

option in front end appearance

compared to the standard Monza

Coupe.  The standard Coupe features a

bright grill with dual round headlights

and a steel bumper.  Ordering the

"Sport Front End Appearance" - '76/

"Sport Styling Package" - '77 (RPO

Code Z87) upgraded the Coupe's front

end with that found on the Sport

Hatchback.  A soft body-coloured

eurethane facia with built-in bumpers

in behind and quad-rectangular

headlights were part of the package, as well as the hood to match, one with a large centre hump.  The rear end of the Sport Coupe was not altered, but part of this package included rear bumper rub strips and guards which were not a standard feature on the base Coupe.

  For 1976 and '77 the customer ordered a base M27 Coupe and asked for the Z87 Sport Styling Package.  For the 1978 model year, the Sport Coupe was given it's own VIN# code and was an R27 model Monza so the Z87 RPO Code was dropped since ordering an R27 Monza meant you were getting a Sport Coupe.

Below is part of Chevrolet Dealer Ordering Guide outlining the basic differences and similarities between the standard Monza Coupe and the Monza Sport Coupe.
