1978 Monza Spyder Stripes
Posted: Sun Sep 24, 2017 12:34 pm
I ordered and purchased my first new car in 1978, an Ultramarine Blue Monza Spyder. It was loaded up with Handling and Appearance Package, V6, 5-speed, P/S, P/B, A/C, Full Guage Package, Tilt Column, AM-FM 8-track, and Positrac. I even had a 2-position seat back which I remember the dealer tried to talk me out of. About the only thing I didn't order the the Sunroof and Digital Clock. I unfortunately let that car go in 1988.
I recently acquired a a 1978 Spyder in need of restoration. I am trying to rebuild it as close as possible to my first car as I can. I have located, purchased, and installed most of the options. Still looking for that tilt column and I'm going to skip the 8-Track. Good luck with that driver's side tilting seat back. I am getting close to exterior paint which brings me to my question. The Spyder Stripes were Black, but I can't remember the accent color. Phoenix Graphics offers the decals in Black/DKGold/LTGold and Black/DKGold/White. Which would be correct for my Ultramarine Blue paint? I have searched for internet pictures but I don't see any Spyders of this color and factory Spyder stripes.
