Mom had a Buick Skyhawk about the same year - dark red with white interior and a moonroof. And then my neighbor in college had a V8 Monza that he was always tearing around the neighborhood in.

I had a 1980 Monday Spyder in 1982, silver with white interior. I was on top of the world, 17 years old living the dream👍🏻😁

I had a 77 Mirage that I purchased used in 1980. Unfortunately it was a rebuilt wreck (not known to me when I bought it from a disreputable dealership) and was nothing but a headache. But it did get a lot of attention. and the kid that bought it from me loved it.

I had one that I owned from 1981 to the end of 1983. My GF crashed it a couple of times, had the doors fixed, but kept the damage to the fenders since that soft plastic panels covered that damage. Did not have the budget to fix those. Bought mine in Denver Thornton or Northglenn and traded it in by Marty Franich in Watsonville. Wish I knew who had it now.

I don't have a mirage, but I do have a 75 2+2, and a 79 2+2. If you love Monza's like I do, you know we are all crazy as F. I fell in love when I saw the first picture of one just before debut in late 1974. I went to a local dealer and saw a metallic blue 2+2, and I was hooked for life. My 79 will be back on the road this year, and my 75 hopefully not very long after that. Parts are hard to find, if you know of a good source, don't be shy holler out.

My twin brother had one, it was fairly quick but was a POS. The front suspension was setup for a small 4 cylinder and it would bottom out all of the time and the oil pan was leaking bad from the hits it was taking.

I remember seeing the Mirage quite a bit when it was new, probably because it's conversion was done in Michigan.

Just wondered why you didn't have them lift up the hood so we can see the engine and maybe open the door! A lot of people have not seen one of these and it would have been a lot more interesting video and probably shared if there was more to look at

I bought a new one from a dealer in New Athens IL. It was a 305 V8 with an automatic transmission which some people say they ony came with 4 speed sticks. Anyone else own an automatic? Loved that car, only traded it in because I was paralyzed in a later accident driving my 72 MG Miget which I also loved......

I purchased a used Mirage in 1979 in Rochester,NY. It also had an automatic transmission. It did not have the stripes on the roof, trunk or hood. It did have all the other decals.

My 79 came with a 305 and thm350. I bought it used, it was pretty beat up, got most of it fixed, that weak 305 really flew on the highway. I love my 75 2+2 also.

It’s ugly. The decals are terrible, who cares if they have been replaced? The regular version is better looking. Hell, I’d rather have a Buick Skyhawk. A pile of monzas at home? Good lord. Haha. At LEAST call the car a curiosity and don’t take it and yourself so seriously. Yikes.
