And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Opel GT would be a good car choice, it has a rather narrow body along with it being lower than most cars, giving it decent aerodynamics regarding lesser drag overall, it is a pretty lightweight vehicle too.
Back in the day, the Owner of Macy’s Transmission in Concord, CA., had an Opel GT that he dragged, except his was white. Having owned a 72 Opel GT, I concur that this was one in a previous life.
The original car model on which this was built appears to be the Opel GT of circa 1968-73.

ReplyDeleteAlways thought these were cool when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I thought the manual lever actuator for the headlights was cool. Looked like a parking brake lever next to the shifter. Oh, those Germans!
ReplyDeleteMy first new car was a 1973 Opel GT. Loved that car. A "poor man's Corvette" as I called it.
