Beautiful machine, but please don't forget to put the tech specs!
Is that the 3.8l?

 

[CORRUPTEDDISC]

Never heard of this one. Back end reminds me of a '67 'Cuda...

.............Opala? Not Impala? Confused....
In which market did Chevy sell this? Was it Brazil?

Oh yes, now we are talking!

@CaravanSS76 , why not the Caravan SS 76?

Hahaha, i would love to see the "los hermanos" Caravan , but it's a drag car.

And for the opala, that would be more than perfect! Paulo Gomes, 1979 Stockcar, the famous Paulão! I had the pleasure to work with him in one race, cool guy.

 

[CaravanSS76]

Why not? In GT2 there was possible to win the game with the HKS Drag cars (180SX and R33)...
HKS these that I would love to see back in GT6 too...

It was the brazilian version of the Opel Rekord of the 60's.
The name "Opala" comes from a mineral, I guess it translates to "opal".

 

[CaravanSS76]

@Brunol No, it comes from a mix from Opel Rekord C (Op) and Chevrolet Impala (ala)

Right, the origin of the name is the combination of those two, but the end result is also a noun.
