That's the same nasty Opel Dave Hutchens and the Wayne County guys campained after the roadster. I remember them destroying the A/Gas and B/Gas records, switching between 287 and 331 inch small blocks, sometimes with a powerglide and single 4bbl!!! I saw the car at the '80 Gators when they first moved up to A/Gas and begun using the PG to take advantage of the 150 lb advantage. Ironically I heard the Pattersons at one time owned both the WCSS Opel and roadster.

Thr complete article on this car, just after it was built, is in the October 1979 CarCraft. It is a 6 page article, starting on page 50. I am looking at it as I write this up. I too am a fan of this car. We saw it run many times in the 70's & 80's.

That's true. Here it is with beige paint. Maybe Bob Rice will have some pictures of the roadster in Wayne County trim.

Ahhhh.....the good ole days when couple of guys could team up and build a Modified car. That Opel looked SO simple in terms of how it was built.

Re: Larry Kopp pics?
 

I have an Opel Gt car that was built by a fellow named Leonard Davis(I think in KY). It was stretched in steel to 108 inches. I got it from a guy in VA. I was told that it was a super gas champ car but can't find any history on the car--any help would be much appreciated
