Well I traded the 7 for a miata plus $500 then with in the same day I traded the miata for 2k worth of tattoo credit. So my 7 thats only worth $1400 I got $2500, not to bad if you ask me even if most of it is credit.

So here is the new project, 71' Opel GT. Pic's from when I just got it home, I need to take a few new ones after the little work I have done.











1.9l 4 cylinder with 100hp, thats not good! Going to pop a 2.5 KLZE in and a Miata 6-speed and rear end hoping for 230-240Hp. In a car thats 1700lb thats all you need to make it real fun

 

manual pop-up/ Roll over headlights....

 

I did not think I would like them but I love them haha

 

That's a pretty damn cool looking little car

 

Love it! wish you luck on the build keep us posted!

 

Seen 1 of those with a rotary in it about a year ago. It was actually the first Opel GT I had ever seen so I thought it was supposed to have it. lol. Good thing it was an Opel meet so I learned I was wrong pretty quick. Looked really nice with it though.

 

I really like the rear and side profile look of the car looks like a stingray. those opels look awesome when there restored.

 

Thanks, one of the best looking IMO to come out of the 70's.

Its going to take sometime till anything significant will be done but I will keep you guys posted!

I was thinking about putting a street-ported 13b into it, but I don't think I will go that road with this one. The KLZE will be cheaper to build up and I think the noise of KL fits the car better.

I think the GT is how the designer really wanted the stingray to look, So much smoother and better flowing. Its just to bad they had to make the GT so under powered, but I guess it would be kind of a sin in GM to make a car thats better then a Vette.
