Hi,
Interesting appearance!
Looks like it MIGHT be the back light from a Maserati Bora?
Regards,
Alan

It's from a Chevy Monza.
The pics look like they are from a cell phone, pretty distorted. You have to see a good pic or a real one.
The kits came out 1 year before the bubble back (which pretty much killed it) and available in different forms for chrome or rubber bumper cars. The rubber bumper kits look a little better.
IMHO, both look better than the factory bubble back.

Not for me, but I will say that whoever did the glass work has some serious talent.

Here is a little better view.
The kits came without the glass, so you had to source it new or salvaged.
Here's the Monza

I like Eckler's fastback much better than the hatch. Does anyone know if this setup "borrowed" the glass from a production car, or was it provided with the kit? I've never found much info on the setup, even though it was used on the holy grail of upfitted c3's, the Baldwin Motion Phase III.
