Classic Opel Forum NZ

Anyone fancy turning their Monza into a Rennsport track car? I know the Rennsport committee at Ruapuna were keen for some Opel competition against the BMWs and Porsches! Saw this on German ebay for ideas ...

There used to be guy in CHCH who owned one of rare 5 speed Manual Opel Monza GSE or S and by accounts he would give the Holden SS Club a run for his money at Ruapuna. I met the owners wife once who said she was scared to drive it -maybe it had 'tricked up' some more - it would make a great candiate as a racer - Who has it now?

This is one I've been digging up info on for a while



















































Now I'm really getting the passion for the Berg cup styling - somebody pass me some tissues

I even found the build thread however I don't recommend reading it past page 6 as forum politics and petty sniping meant it was de-railed

If you don't crash you aren't trying

Yep, I thought you would like this one! So is the car now fixed and for sale, or has that crash happened since I saw it on ebay.de?

Crash was a few years back and it did get fixed
