The Chevrolet Corvair Monza GT, code XP-777, was an experimental mid-engined coupe that General Motors built in 1962 on the early Corvair. Design chief Bill Mitchell had the transaxle moved to the rear so that the 145 cubic inch Turbo-Air six sat ahead of it, and Larry Shinoda and Tony Lapine styled the body with a front-hinged canopy. The chassis, led by Frank Winchell, had a 92 inch wheelbase and used magnesium wheels and four-wheel disc brakes. Shown at Elkhart Lake in June 1962 and toured with the related Monza SS, it never reached production, but it influenced the Corvette GS-II, the Mako Shark II and the Opel GT.
