Opel Classic Parts Obere

Is who I got a lot of parts that were impossible to get from anyone.. the trick though was getting parts numbers. When I told them I needed parts for the car and even sent pictures, they told me (as did everyone) that they were not available.

But when I sent them the Opel Parts numbers.. they came through with flying colors. I got all the door rubber for the 4 door.. !!

I have a OLD 64-66 Opel parts book I can ship you so you can do the same. Its Circ.. 1968 so the books will be complete and accurate . With old Opel parts books.. the "newer" the book.. they start not listing parts that are "discontinued" but "Discontinued parts" are still in the old Opel Parts vintage parts warehouse in germany.

You can paypal me cdgoin at ez2wire dot net $20 and I will ship you it too you. I also have a few books with Rekord P1 and P2 parts numbers if anyone out there is restoring one of them and needs help sourcing parts.

I have to say there is also Opels Unlimited ( Opels Unlimited - Your One Stop Opel Shop for ALL U.S. Imported Opels from 1960-1979 ) I KNOW he has a TON Of old Kadett A NOS parts. But getting in touch with him can be a challenge, and getting him to dig out the old parts as well. But he has done alot of Opel dealer parts buy outs and with the few Kadett A opel owners in the US he has a lot of Kadett A parts in stock.. its just a matter of him finding them.

He also came through with a lot of really rare parts for my Kadett B as well. Again, paitence is a virtue with Opels Unlimited.. and persistance is golden.
