When IMSA launched its All American Grand Touring category as a hedge against the
boredom-inducing dominance of the Porsche 934, race car builders Lee Dykstra and Horst Kwech saw potential in Chevrolet's compact Monza as a giant killer. Working directly with General Motors, Dykstra and Kwech's DeKon Engineering developed the Monza into a lightweight tube-frame racer with up to 650 horsepower on tap from its small-block Chevy V8. So formidable was the resulting car that it prompted the great Al Holbert to give up his Porsche for a DeKon Monza, which carried him to back-to-back
IMSA Camel GT championships in 1976 and 1977.
New from Real Art Replicas is a stunning 1:18-scale resin model of Holbert's
1976 championship-winning DeKon Monza. Boasting a hand-painted finish, rolling rubber tires and accurately rendered fender flares and monster hood bulge, it cuts a striking figure, particularly when placed alongside "garden-variety" Porsche and BMW models of the era! Model Citizen brings you this exciting new release from Real Art Replicas for $225, with free shipping in the lower 48 states. Supplies are extremely limited!
