        Ok this is my 1973 Opel GT, this is going to be a full-blown drag car. My plans are to gut it, 12-point roll cage, 355 small block , forged bottom end, ported heads , turbo 400 trans, 9inch rearend and dual stage 150 shot to 250 shot nitrous.  i just bought it so its still a work in progress. If you have any experince with building an Opel GT of this year please feel free to give tips. thanks

 and yes it is for sale

Don't believe I've seen an Opel before, but I like the look of it. At first it reminded me of a VW Kit car, but looks like you've got some serious plans for it. I actually like them old cars more than the newer ones ('70 VW Bus is my DD)...can't wait to see how it progresses.

Nice project car. Hardly ever see any Opel GT's on the road anymore. That should make a great drag car ! 5 stars for you.
