Opel Monza
You have probably never heard of this car but it could be a great conversation starter, making you the star of the next Cars and Coffee meet. In the late ’70s, Germany’s GM subsidiary, Opel produced the Monza. It was a modern looking fastback, hatchback GT coupe. The Monza came with six-cylinder engines, aerodynamic styling, and a decent performance.
Opel aimed it at people looking for an alternative to those much more expensive GT cars. The top of the line model had a 3.0-liter six-cylinder delivering 180 HP. That was considered more than a decent figure in the late ’70s and provided the Monza with a lively performance.
