The Stuff of Spark Plug Changing Legend

We have featured a couple of Monzas before, and even one of the Buick equivalents, but this is our first Monza V8.  Yes, this is a subcompact car with a V8 offering a whopping 140HP, but I imagine the torque must have made the car feel decent, assuming the gearing wasn’t comically high.  The rumor is that the engine in these has to be lifted/tilted slightly in order to change spark plugs – doesn’t that sound like fun?

This car appears to be in decent enough condition and the claimed low mileage is good, if true.  The seller claims the interior is in good shape, but offers no proof.

Here’s the classic fastback body, supposedly inspired by the Ferrari 365GTB/4 (AKA Daytona).

How about high-angle, low-res shot?

The badge makes it official.

Yep, the 305 is shoehorned in and certainly doesn’t look exciting.
