A Monza will never be a Corsa even with $74.12 of trim and instruments!  Yes, 
that is the only difference, but one will never be the other.  Kinda like the 
'64 Falcon owner trying to say that his car is, heart and soul, a Mustang.  
NOT!  Now  500s are a different matter; are they even Corvairs?  <GGG>

When I started looking for my '66, I specifcally wanted a Monza.  I wanted my 
future "nice car" to stand on it's own four feet without relying on the 
"flash" of $74.12 worth of trim and instruments. (Too many decked-out Corsas at the 
shows) I'm happy with the Monza having picked the "right" red, a 
complementary red/black interior, and the "right" wheels.

With my nice Monza, I still have to suffer the inevitable "is it a turbo?" 
question. That's why I'm building a 180 Corsa convertible.  Now the only 
question I will have to suffer is the inevitable "Is it a Spyder?" question...  Why 
the heck did Chevy drop the good "Spyder" name when they changed from the 
"practice" models to the "real" Corvairs?
