My neighbor is selling his 1971 Opel GT and told him I’d post it on here. He swapped the engine and trans out for a GM powertrain/drivetrain (I’ll have to get the specs and stuff from him). The rear end, I’m pretty sure is GM as well. It has semi-fresh paint (a few years old)… orange with a black lemans stripe down the center. He painted it himself and is starting to bubble a little on the front fender. Has aftermarket 14 or 15" wheels. It’s been garage kept up until recently. This car hasn’t been abused… it’s adult owned and he’s a fellow motor head. Kennedey’s did the tuning on it aswell. He’s asking 6500 obo I’ll get specs and pics later for those interested. anyone over 6’ need not apply unless you’re a contortionist. EDIT: UPADATES and had the wrong year, this is a 1971 ![http://lh6.ggpht.com/MoranS281/SGMeVun0FeI/AAAAAAAAAPY/lYMXG0pntaM/s800/IMG_0118.png](http://lh6.ggpht.com/MoranS281/SGMeVun0FeI/AAAAAAAAAPY/lYMXG0pntaM/s800/IMG_0118.png) ![http://lh5.ggpht.com/MoranS281/SGMeWGqd8NI/AAAAAAAAAPg/Vwwvlb0gRms/s800/IMG_0119.png](http://lh5.ggpht.com/MoranS281/SGMeWGqd8NI/AAAAAAAAAPg/Vwwvlb0gRms/s800/IMG_0119.png) ![http://lh4.ggpht.com/MoranS281/SGMeWb67Y5I/AAAAAAAAAPo/6ij8H7Lahl0/s800/IMG_0120.png](http://lh4.ggpht.com/MoranS281/SGMeWb67Y5I/AAAAAAAAAPo/6ij8H7Lahl0/s800/IMG_0120.png) ![http://lh4.ggpht.com/MoranS281/SGMeW2QJ3sI/AAAAAAAAAPw/3_ZASeLkD50/s800/IMG_0121.png](http://lh4.ggpht.com/MoranS281/SGMeW2QJ3sI/AAAAAAAAAPw/3_ZASeLkD50/s800/IMG_0121.png) ![http://lh4.ggpht.com/MoranS281/SGMf4GDI7AI/AAAAAAAAAP8/YSQL25Soths/s800/IMG_0125.png](http://lh4.ggpht.com/MoranS281/SGMf4GDI7AI/AAAAAAAAAP8/YSQL25Soths/s800/IMG_0125.png) Ok, so here are the build Specs. 1994 3.4L v6 (Camaro) Trans is a Custom built T5 (by GeForce racing Transmissions) retains stock shifter location Front brakes, Volvo 4 Piston calipers and rotors Rear brakes rebuilt drums I believe Upgraded Master cylinder New brake lines Custom Built Radiator Brand new suspension Custom Exhaust manifolds and exhaust new poly bushings front and rear new ball joints and tierods Interior is in great shape and original (he said the headliner and carpet was probably replaced at one point) ROH 15x6" wheels with good meat on the performance tires (he believes they are 205 50’s) All the electronics are new He said he could keep going on and on. Pretty much if the part moves, it’s been replaced or upgraded. He originally bought the car from a guy in Eden who bought it from someone in Arizona. There is NO rust on the car what so ever and the color is an original factory option (new paint). He put a ton of time and $$$ into this car. He’s a real good guy and can vouch for him, he doesn’t half ass things. let me know if you’re interested and I’ll put you in contact with him. ---

So does it have a small block in it now? If it does, I might have an interested person in it. He had an Opel and wanted to modify it, but sold it. ---

yes it is, not sure on the size (it may be a 6 banger now that I think about it) though. Either way, I’ll find out for you shortly. :tup: it should make a fun car to modify anyway. It weighs less than nothing and pretty sure it’s making more than double the power it came with originally. ---
