1971 Opel Drag Project

final stages of this NHRA 7.50 drag car

ACTIVE BUILD PROJECT: Get in now, shape the outcome!
Comes with a NHRA 2026 chassis cert 7.50

Car Description

This build is being set up as a small tire car, originally designed for a 10.5W setup — so anything smaller will fit right in. It features a full steel body, steel doors, fiberglass nose, and functional roll-up windows with glass, offering a solid, vintage base for serious performance.

Our build vision includes a Big Block Chevy, two stages of nitrous, a ATI Powerglide transmission, 9″ rear with 4:11 gears — all aimed at building a competitive, reliable drag car. The chassis has now been certified to NHRA 7.50 specs, making it track-ready for serious racers. That’s how we’d build it.

Your Build. Your Colors. Your Win Light.

The chassis fabrication on this 1971 Opel Drag Project is officially finalized, body-fit, and stamped with a fresh NHRA 7.50 chassis certification. To show you what’s possible, we’ve mocked up three stunning color profiles: Deep Metallic Blue, Fire Engine Red, and Sleek Liquid Silver.

The hard fabrication work is done, but the ultimate aesthetic is still yours… Get in now to claim this build, select your signature paint, and shape the final outcome before it hits the track!

Still time to make it yours!
