That's pretty much all I have for the Opel.

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.

For what it's worth, here's a picture of the same car taken a few years later.

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!

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.
