Unless they (NHRA) open up the Classification Guide, the only vehicles listed prior to 1960 is Chevrolet and Cadillac. Hudson isn't listed at all, so Twin-H Powered Jet's can't run Stock Class.
The Opel looked good to be a U/S in 1969. The GT was rated at 102 HP and had a shipping weight of 2041 lbs. But as was mentioned, the tranny was terrible and it had a very small one-barrel Solex. I had a shop teacher in high school that loved them, but because Buick only imported the Kadett and GT, we didn't get the really good stuff!
