Answer 1

I don’t have all the answers but I can tell you that the Monza SP1 exists the way it does because it shares the same production process as the Monza SP2, the two seater option. Everything about the two cars is identical except for the fact that in the SP1 the passenger seat is removed and a body panel covers the empty space. Source: the recent Doug DeMuro video in which he finds a fully leather stitched glove box, climate vents, and door handle on the passenger side under the panel.
