Oops make that threatened list!

Three Wagonaires (two '63s and one '64) in the Kirby collection and they ARE endangered.

Not the greatest of company to keep, though, is it? I might possibly be talked into valuing the Celica but the rest make me think of nothing beyond, "Good riddance."

Te Monza fastback was a good looking car in its day...IIRC, it was the first (or among the first) news designs to incorporate the rectangular headlights.

The coupes were very Vega-ish, but the fastbacks were not bad looking. In the mid-80s I dated a girl with one (it was her old college car) and although it was blue/turqoise, some of its interior parts had faded to green...way to go GM!!!!

I agree about the Capri...you don't see any around...or even the Circa 1976 "Capri II" models that were offered until the Mercury Capri version of the Fox-body Mustang arrived in 1979.
Even in the UK they're rare. The ones rust didn't get were all used up by boy racers in the 80-90s.

If I recall correctly, the V-8 Monza had to be modified with a removable panel on the fenderwell or firewall in order to get one of the spark plugs out. Seems they didn't plan for clearance for a socket wrench. Frames tended to flex a lot with the V-8 as well.

I knew a girl that bought a special Monza new. It was some sort of performance and dress-up package. I don't remember what the package/model was called. It was red/white/blue (IIRC). That would probably make it a 1976 (there was a lot of that then). She was nicer than the car or maybe I would have remembered more about the car.

there is a v8 capri down the street from me

Actually, I think ALL vintage wagons are probably endangered. Most were "rode hard and put away wet" or just plain used up.

Does this mean I should stop driving it... wrap it in bubble wrap...and keep the light off it?

No chance

See ya's in SB and at the Studebaker Made in Canada Meet in Belleville June 29-30
