Price: US $200.00
I bought this car thinking it was for me - but it's just not. I'm just not as young as I thought I was (it's low and hard to get in & out of.) See eBay listing # 171663500007 for the car as I bought it a few months ago. The photo in this auction is how it looks now (with black stripes that say OPEL GT down both sides of the car.
Since that time I added a Brand New Weber Carb, electronic ignition, new plugs, wires, spare tire, stereo speakers, third brake light & LED bulbs all around (except for the two front side-markers - I didn't get to those.)
