That's a GT, it's just got some stripes on the door. Comes out better on the white one. I have several of these and they also make a Manta A one too, or did at one time.

Opel pins
Matt, I received mine from Tom Adkins a year or so ago in the color white as well. Feel honored now that you are now part of a long tradition of Opel pin owners, and now you can be accepted in our secret meetings.

My wife found the red one at a car show last month and we bought it. I'm thinking someone got those door markings confused with the "gill" vents in a Corvete, and missed the fender by 1/16th of an inch on the prototype.
Regardless, I like it. |

FYI - I recently bought three more pins (all off eBay from "burgerweb"). They are very nice, high quality, and I recommend them as great inexpensive Opel souvenirs.

Matt;
The seller you bought those from is a guy by the name of "Hamburger Harry", a German who moved to the US and is CRAZY about hamburgers. He even had a custom motorcycle built in the shape of a hamburger. He also is a big Opel fan, hence the pins.

I have bought one of just about every Opel pin he sells. He's had a few others over the years, now he's got it pared down a little.
