Opel Commodore

[Bubba Fat]

This is a German Opel Commodore from 72. I wonder if this car would be accurate enough for a Holden Monaro Nightrider replica here in Europe. I think yes -this isn't my car though - but I serioulsy think about finding a car close enough to give it the Mad Max Treatment. The guy who owns it seems to be a Max-Fan. The pic comes from a French tuning site.



Too bad that the decals here are so off.

Its actually closer to the previous Monaro shape the HG

Its also much smaller....

The later HQ grew in size.

It's a lot smaller than a Monaro.

As a tribute, yes, but not as a replica.

That def loks like the 68-70 Monaros and the Brazilian Opala which hell looks like the same damn car to me.

May I suggest the following generation. Could be had as both Rekord an Commodore.

Thanks Bart. The Opel Commodore is definately the best car for Nightrider replica here in Europe. And I don't think it's too small. Most of our modern cars are way smaller than this b*.

The following generation are cheaper too, the first Commodore/Rekord are getting quite expensive to purchase because everyone started to custombuild them in the 80´s and such, so they are getting rare.

Fun thread anyways, I have to show you my old Opel Recommodore, or "Commocord" if you want. It was a Rekord -74 they had put an Commodore -82 drivetrain in and built skirts and spoilers of sheet metal. It was a mixture between Mad Max and some odd Batmobile=)
Used it to put black marks on the pavement and scare little children
Sold it a couple of years ago, now its stripped in a garage somewhere and waiting for a rollcage and a Chevy 350 V8.
