    1. That bronze cladding is the hotness.

    2. The second photo makes me want to invest in a roll cage.

    Now it's a Vik loss not a Beak loss?? Nice post and translation Dave. I could get my toothbrushes out and I'll bet it'd look just fine.

    What freak drove the Opel GT off-road? And how did he keep the carb tuned long enough to finish the course?

    Hahahhah - I guess I shouldn't be so mean to the GT... if my father didn't have one when I was a kid, I wouldn't have learned so much about tools and fixing things!

    LOL! I love Opel GTs! Cool little cars! I always wanted to get one and drop a V8 in it!

    It's funny how in this pic, the VX is pretty much mangled yet that cool plastic window visor didn't even suffer a scratch





    That bronze cladding would look awesome on a black VX

    Transio, this is definitely one of those cases where you need to be careful that you don't get what you ask for!

    Opel GTs are pretty neat little cars, but they are notoriously unreliable and require almost weekly tune-ups (I won't even bring up the rust issue). Of course, if you drop the original engine out, you can bypass some of those problems.

    I saw one a couple of months ago near me - it was half gutted, and the guy wanted $2k. I wouldn't have offered him more than $200!

    LOL, a cousin once had an Opel GT with the aluminum Buick V8 conversion back when we were in high-school. I wouldn't ride in it.

    The Opel GT in Heraclid's photos is owned by an English fellow who is a professional race mechanic and currently instructing at the European Rally School in Starke, FL. It's a fully prepped rally car and also has a custom Haltech fuel-injection set up. It runs very well and always turns good times. He basically rolls it off the transporter, rallies it, and takes it home. Wash, rinse, repeat.

    Unfortunately I didn't get to add to the PV2 noise on the course due to an issue with my rally tires. Darn recessed valve stems.

    Yes, that that is the only good way to own an Opel GT... Do the fuel injection conversion and be a race mechanic! :-)
