The Famoso Speed Shop Opel Is For Sale! Selling To Fund Nostalgia Funny Car!

If you have watched any of our Good Vibrations March Meet coverage, ever, then you have seen some of the cars of the Famoso Speed Shop. They all rule. They are all this awesome green. And they are all runners that regularly run down the 1320 feet we call Famoso Raceway. Aka the Patch. While we normally would be bummed that they were selling one of their cars, we are super excited to know that the money from selling “Lil Mee-Hoe” will be going to their Nostalgia Funny Car operations they want to start. They also have a 1930 Bantam Comp Coupe, but we’ll get to that one tomorrow.

If you want to run easy 9’s, this little Opel is your jam. We would do headlights, a grill, taillights and get this thing running as a street car personally, but no matter what you do this sucker is awesome beyond awesome. We’re in love.

    Always had a soft spot for Opel Kadettes. My parents had a 2 door wagon back in the early 70’s but unfortunately blew a head gasket. That would be a sweet street ride!

    Hey Chad,

    Not certain you knew this or not, but the Funny Car will not be a AA/FC or even a flip-up body. They are working towards a early A/FX style funny car with swinging doors. A ’65 Mustang Fastback to be exact.
