It looks very "new" to me, so is it based on a 1976 Opel?

Apparently it was built by Roberto Carlotto. I'll look for more ;)

This is the only example of 1978 Opel 1.0 RS Barchetta, this car comes from the passion of Roberto Carlotto (also called in art Hunka Munka) keyboardist and voice of Italian music band I DIK DIK, music band that has had its greatest success between 1975 and 1983, among the most famous songs of the band include "Sognado la California" and "Senza luce".
Roberto Carlotto taken from a very young studying classical piano, he started playing with the Big 66, a complex that was performing near Varese, then moved to the Cubs. Young left Italy and joined famous English rock band, for example by opening the concerts for artists such as Rod Stewart and Colosseum. From England, then moved to Germany and Switzerland establishing itself as a musician and keyboardist of great talent.
One of the great passions of Carlotto are always classic cars, his hands have been more than 300 cars from the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin and many other famous brands.
At the end of the 80 Carlotto decides to build himself a car on his design, to do this is supported by a body specialized in automotive prototypes, for the construction of the car has been chosen as a starting point the floor of an Opel Kadett, and has also been used a large part of its mechanics, the body structure has been realized in metal pipes, while for its coating was chosen as aluminum and glass fiber, the seats have a design similar to Porsche Speedster.
