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!

And the roadster. Same car?

And the magazine 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.

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.
