Ralph Eckler owns Eckler's Corvette Parts, Titusville, Florida.

The Monza was a body kit sold by Eckler some years back. It might still be available. Check the Eckler's website.

The turbo is also a conversion.

Not sure what you want with the VIN. Your '79 should have a regular 1979 Corvette VIN.
