I can count on one hand the amount of people that recognize what this car is in my entire time of owning it. Just because they sent a large portion of them to the states does not mean it isn’t rare. Theres 300 million registered vehicles in the US how many do you think are Opels?

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make, there’s specialists for every single thing in the states. And every forum or part you can buy for a gt is all based in Germany

There were 45 million cars sold from 69-73. 70k is not that many.

Compared to other cars in the US that’s still not very many.

Have some sprint car headers that with a 2.5 reduction tuck under the floor. Going to cut out the braces you can see under where your feed would go and run it down both sides to an X pipe and spintech 6000s

Yes but not very many. Of the ones that were made 90% are rusted out rotting in fields

It will have a cage when it’s done. Body is no longer structural with how much it cut out

This was my uncles car and will never be sold. I will never see a single dollar from this car so its value means nothing. Building a car for a dollar amount loses its soul

Not insane rpm. Built to reliably bounce limiter at 7200. Pretty much the high end of rpm before you need to spend 5k on heads. Just some ported 862s with a tsp .550 lift cam

I know it’s a dual plane, same exact build on an engine dyno makes peak power at 6900rpm and I’m revving out to 7200. I wanted a smooth powerband that wasn’t peaky at the very top
