1972 Opel GT Yellow Blaze
When we received this Opel GT, it looked pretty nice, until you opened the hood and the original blue finish was still present. This car is basically a running prototype of what can be done to an Opel to the extreme ends of the realm. First the car was fully stripped by a baking and dipping process. The car was painted 2010 Mustang Yellow Blaze which is a tri-coat paint job. A 2.4 from Germany was installed with a custom serpentine belt system which added air conditioning for the new center console constructed for this car. Electric power steering has been installed as well, custom mirrors and Miata seats. Weber Fuel injection with programmable MAP, and a custom air box all have been incorporated into this car.
