Straight lines. A low belt-line. Rear lights that span the entire width of the body. Chances have always been high that I like a car with those key design elements. The Opel Senator A and Monza are such cars. The no-nonsense approach the designers choose back then created a couple of timeless classics, in my opinion. Cars with such a clean design don’t need much to really stand out and shine. A little tweak here and a little shave there, a set of period correct wheels and you’re done. In this case, I utilized wheels from a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am and even kept the gold centers in order to add a bit of color to the otherwise rather monochromatic vehicle.

For many years I wanted to create an Opel Kadett C Coupé that is raceworthy, but doesn’t stray too much from the original design. No big spoilers and wings here, sir. I just lowered the CQP and moved the fenders up a little. This gives the car a more aggressive stance and a lower center of gravity. Bring on the curves and bends – this little RWD gem is going to tackle it with ease! I imagine a naturally aspirated 2.4 liter Mantzel engine under the hood would be fun.
