Opel Monster 4x4 project

Just thought that I would post this. Similar to the "Big Toe" Opel GT (which I can't find the thread for).
Opel Monster


BTW, not even what state "Duluth" in.

I was going to say the same. But, then I realized that people often say "WHY?" when they look at my pink v8.

You might have a different feeling when your about 4 feet taller in a GT behind the wheel. "Big Toe" was pulled off very well. Can someone find a link?

I say "why not".... properly designed and assembled would probably be just as fun, if not more, as a stock resto, and probably worth more to boot.

Another Opel In MN

Sweet ride. You wouldnt have to worry about people running into you at the parking lot of "Not" seeing you.
Heres another MN opel that i found on craigslist in the Rochester area:
1970 Opel GT - Restored

Price is higher but cannot tell if it is worth it from the one picture available.

I like it, Very practical in areas where you have snow on the road. However, I would want doors and a good heater .

I HAD something to drink, and for me it just looks like a mailbox next to the driveway behind the car.
