The guy I purchased my '65 Monza from called it "Goldie" due to the Gold
paint ... however, after a year of discovering several little "things"
(such as a steering column/shaft that had been EXTENDED 8"!!), I now
call the car "FrankenVair"...

> Anti Christine, my older '68, got its name because it was a low-mileage car that self destructs as I try to restore it...just the opposite of the movie.
> Orange Crush ('68 Monza) got half its name for the incredibly bad orange paint job and the other half because the original owner couldn't back it out of the garage without hitting something.
