sorry about that.. i was thinking about buying a GT, and im in central ohio.

its going to be awhile before i go out and buy one, because i need to get rid of my nova first. after that i can start looking.

thats just what i wanted to hear.

the first questions would be about racing, ie suspention and brakes. then later possible engine swaps, opel or other that could give it some more kick.

Welcome aboard Xenophobe, to get the best GT you can check out Charles Goin's Opel GT Pricing Guide.txt on another egroups web page.

Charles is one of the gurus of the classic Opel world. Many of our questions have often enough been answered by people like Charles, Garry, Keith and many others many times before. Use the serch function to get the 411 it works very well. Our cars a 30yrs old, I think everything has been done before. You just gotta search for it.
Cheers,

PS. I think some of these folks here might be Yankees. So keep an eye out.
