Re: Larry Kopp pics?
If I had the time to look and possibly find it, Car Craft did an article on the car right after it was built. They even had a somewhat drawing of the frame if I correctly remember.

Re: Larry Kopp pics?
For what it's worth, here's a picture of the same car taken a few years later.

now ya got me thinkin'.... wonder where the car is now? |
Re: Larry Kopp pics?
I'll see where my stack of old Car Craft Mags are. Sometime back I was talking with someone and they mentioned they thought the car ended up in D1 with a SG/SC racer. Put a mention in the Stock/Super Stock section at the very top of this site and you will be surprised at what response you get. I don't know what it is but when you mention the old Modified days, you get at least three pages of people re-living this era. Worth a shot!

Re: Larry Kopp pics?
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.

Re: Larry Kopp pics?
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.

[QUOTE=Scott Brown 567;142332]That's true. Here it is with beige paint. Maybe Bob Rice will have some pictures of the roadster in Wayne County trim.
And here it is. Bill Truby Photo. http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/w...TrubyPhoto.jpg |

Re: Larry Kopp pics?
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

I just happened to stumble across these tonight on a CD while looking for something else. My loss, your gain!

Re: Larry Kopp pics?
The roadster was later purchased by Keith Raftery (current D4 T/S racer) and his dad and brought to Louisiana. They have since sold it. As old as the car was, it still worked very well.

Re: Larry Kopp pics?
Saw the Opel run at Bowling Green in it's first outing at the Sportsnats back in the day; neat car and way ahead of it's time.

Re: Larry Kopp pics?
Columbus '82 I think.

Re: Larry Kopp pics?
Only that divisional race in 1982. I think it was over easter weekend. The 2 opels were in the comp final. Do you know who won and what happened? SORRY ABOUT THE DOUBLE ANSWER
|
Re: Larry Kopp pics?
Would love to see the pics. I was there but I don't remember who won the race.
Bob |
Re: Larry Kopp pics?
Garrett won the race, but Kopp ran into him after the finish line and sent Charlie on a wild ride. I can post the pictures in a day or two. I can also post some pictures from 1977,78, or 79 from York US 30 and the 1979 Summernationals at Englishtown. Also 1982 Springnationals.1982 Summernationals and 1982 Super Stock Nationals from Maple Grove
