1979 Chevrolet Monza 151 Iron Duke
Summary:
My true opinion is unprintable
Faults:
Gear selector would frequently engage two gears at once.
Fuel tank leaked.
Door locks often hard to open.
Speedometer failed.
Rev counter failed.
Coil broke down.
General Comments:
It was a dreadful car, noisy, uncomfortable, unreliable and uninspiring to drive.
Chevrolet's answer to the MGB GT perhaps?.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

2 gears at once? I'm afraid that's quite impossible. The laygear can only be running on one gear at a time.

Not so. Maybe with a single rail selector. Multi rail selectors can and do fail to disengage one gear before another is selected. I wasn't the only one this happened to, nor is the Monza the only model it applies to.

It was old, beat & used up - what did you expect, a Bentley?
