Yep, glad that's not anywhere near here. I've always wanted one, yet I'm pretty sure it would never live up to my(albeit, low) expectations.

You're right Woody. Better than I expected too. Of course, with the head off the engine I'm sure it needs a complete rebuild now.

It probably won't petegossett, they aren't nearly as fast as they look. Interesting the way they did some things on them too.

Since I already have one and this is cross country, not difficult to resist. But also, since I already have one I sometimes think of getting another just to modify.

I remember these cars when they were new. A couple of friends were into Opels at the time. Then came the 80's and they disappeared from the motoring world that I occupied. A bit less then 2 years ago I was approached by a friend to help with a Lemons car build. It turned out to be an Opel GT! Since then I seem to come across these cars in posts like this every few weeks! Neat cars and parts are still available, something I learned from my Lemons experience.

AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Crap! Want that, can't have it.

Hopefully it'll end up in good hands.

Wish this were near me, my uncle used to race one of these when I was younger.
