Here's Nice Price Or Crack Pipe once again, the day after the Opel GT Batmobile made NPOCP history! You see, for the first time we've got the majority of voters opting for the Nice Price side of the poll; admittedly, the voting is 173 to 172 at the time of this writing, but that's still a win for the BatmOpel! Today we've got another machine that might present something of a dilemma; the original...

An astonishing 93% of you felt that paying $200,000 for an '81 Buick Regal with the Gale Banks prototype turbo V6 would require a trip to Booth Number Two for the crack pipe. Today's NPOCP contestant sold for far less, and we could see how driving it would be pretty damn fun… but nine grand? That's how much the winning bidder paid for this 1973 Opel GT converted to a mini-Batmobile. And (holy 1990s,...

Opel's German marketers apparently figured that the German target market for the GT had to be skinny Teutonic Manson Family followers , so it made sense to show how fat, well-heeled, vaguely perved-out old car geeks would be kept away from the GT by its hopelessly cramped sporty small size. Here we see a grizzled Stalingrad survivor, wishing only for a brief moment of happiness to distract him from...

Not speaking German, we're probably more frightened by this ad that might be warranted. Perhaps the target market of the Opel GT wasn't really German-style Manson Families looking for some quick, sporty wheels with which to hunt victims in preparation for the final days of Hëltër Schkëltër. Maybe it was all about good, wholesome autobahn hijinks. Thanks to Franzouse for the tip!
