is that for reallllllllll? i cant believe it unless i see some papers and no they are authentic.

Yep, I think it is for real. It is also listed on our own ad board, at http://opelgt.com/ppc/showproduct.php?product=210&sort=1&cat=9&page=1 As I recall, the car is in New York, and was bought by its present owner (Ralf) a couple or three years ago. It was posted on the classicopels board at the time. If I recall correctly, it was actually re-painted a year or two after it was built, due to an accident, but aside from that, is genuinely a 16,000 mile (virtually) NOS GT. It will have a $15,000 reserve or thereabouts on eBay, as that is what he is asking for it here.

Are you sure that's the same car Keith? I thought Ralph's 'old' GT was sold to someone in North Carolina and the new owner was on this forum in fact? I know that car had only 1013 miles on it when I saw it. This car may be a different one.

Hmm, You might be right, Bob. I just recalled the name "Ralf" (or Ralph), and the car was red, in incredible shape, and was (at some time) in New York. Anyone else know the story. Ralf, are you watching this?
