CHEVROLET'S NEW SPYDER
- The Chevrolet experimental Monza Super Spyder II, derived from
the Chevrolet Monza 2+2, will be a top attraction of the Chicago
Auto Show February 21-29 in McCormick Place. The car is
acknowledged to be among the most aerodynamically efficient
designed cars ever produced in America. An aerodynamic front
end with a unique strip-lighting system; special gold-flake custom exterior paint; and a low profile hood with fresh air intake are special features of the above hatchback model. Other attractions include an exterior mounted digital readout speedometer and a functional, negative-lift, rear air-spoiler mounted horizontally across the rear deck lid for maximum effectiveness.

The following pictures were taken by Ken Mahoy at a Chevrolet Vega meet in Green Bay, WI in 2000, and were used with his permission, Thanks Ken (must have been a rush seeing this gem in person)!
Unfortunately only one of these prototypes was ever produced and it was used on the auto show curcuit in 1976. It is a '76 Monza 2+2 Sport Hatchback with a heavily modified front and rear facia, and sports a Cosworth Vega powerplant. GM still owns the car and it only sees the light of day every few years or so, most recently at another Cosworth Vega meet in Michigan, 2006.
