I’m a fan of Opels. But in recent years the Opel Kadett in particular has been the one pulling on my heartstrings. So you can imagine how excited I was when I say this Opel Kadett with a Hemi stuff into it and a big tire out back! Originally built in the 1970’s with some updates made in the 1990’s, this sucker is begging to be put back on the track or to become one of the ultra quick and bad ass street cars that are taking over the scene today. We think this one would be a riot.
It was originally built to hold a 392 Hemi and a 727, but they don’t come with the car. It’s a roller. Truthfully we wonder if the seller might not have purchased the car just for the engine and trans and then is selling off the rest. We have zero way to know that as we write this, but we know you could find out with a simple call. The contact information is below.
Sure we’d do some tweaks to this thing, but overall the look is awesome and this could be one amazingly bitchin ride on the street or on the strip.
