This is a 1973 Opel GT. I got it last july (2002) and fixed it up over the year and got it back on the road august 2003. I did all the work myself including all the bodywork, paint, elctrics, ect. It cost me around $2,000 including purchase of car at $810.

It has chrome Cragar SS/T wheels with tri-bar spinners, front lowered 1�", Vitaloni "Californain" mirrors and I blacked out some chrome trim. The color is Plymouth Prowler red (the bottom picture best represents its color).

If you didn't know, Opel is a division of GM and are built in West Germany. Opels were sold through Buick dealers during the sixties up to 1975. The GT's were built from late '68 until 1973 and were designed by the same guy that did the 3rd gen Corvette Stingray, thats why they look simmilar, but no one really knows which was designed first.
