Lol, I definitely noticed the Massey, we have lots of tractors on the farm. Normally do the tractor show and pulls, but of course not this season. So we just cleaned ours up and called that a show.although partially hidden behind the large tank,, that is a Massey Ferguson Gleaner combine, I can tell by the signage on the side.
That's for sure, seeing it in a finish like that restored one makes me really appreciate the styling of them. I had hoped to get over there to see it in person, just haven't had the chance today. Hopefully the brother in law will be able to get additional information and pictures of it today.
Where did you live in the early 80's?Yep, it’s an Opel GT with at least part of a 240z wide body kit scabbed on.
If you look inside the passenger window you can see the glassed over rear window on the driver’s side. Why they chose to use the 240z fenders is beyond me. The GT fold-over headlights were pretty cool as they were. Back then, the Italian headlight mod was more popular.
I can only guess that the L88 hood scoop is there because back in the day they were known as the “mini Corvette”.
I had a ‘74 Opel Manta, a ‘72 Opel 1900 wagon, and a ‘68 Opel Kadette Rallye back in the early 80s. I was really big into them along with my Mopars. Most of my friends never understood why.
But if you ever owned, modded and drove one...you would.

Why would I laugh? The rally lights off my Kadette were saved and added to my ‘70 Duster. I liked them.In one of the opel GT catalogs i saw i noticed that hood (in a drawing) as #10
I too once owned a opel kadett (don't laugh)

That brings back memories. Funny how time changes things, back then I thought they were a pain to work on.

Yeah, i kinda assumed i will have to cut it up some.it was on here, page 18
https://www.opelgtsource.com/system...l/03OpelGTBodyKitWheelsCatalog.pdf?1540358345
now, it doesnt "list" the hood, but it "shows" it and then tell you to check opelgtsource.com
i didnt see it there, but there is a phone number, so i would call them and see
but even then, i'd doubt it would cover that engine
