I'm ignorant to the car stuff so pardon the stupid question...  But what is the 25 gallon water tank for?  Only 5 gallons of fuel and 25 gallons of water?  I am baffled as to what you would do with that much water?

It's a matter of preference.  I prefer no pressure, no radiator.  Your preference may vary.

  If the Monza is run in the altered class the grill openings can be covered, hence the water tank is a necessity.

The car is the blue Monza number 475 owned by the Spencer family. The nose is blocked off. It is a good deal on a proven car. I hope it sells quick Gary. Good luck.

  Gary, I would say your father was one hell of a driver to handle a twin turbo motor with that short wheelbase!!!!
  I hope to see you at Speedweek.................. Bob

Bob, with that little small block it was a bear when the turbo's came on. But the car went nice and straight at speed ran a 212 exit .
