Brand New GT Sighting
Spotted a brand new, never before purchased, 1973 Opel GT with 107 miles.
Yesterday I attended the Kool April Nights car show in Redding, California. Saw lots of nice cars, but no Opels.
However, I left the show and stopped by Taylor Motors (Buick Dealership) up in Redding, and saw a 1973, brand spankin' new, never before sold, GT in the dealership's showroom. It has never been registered. They told me it is the only GT in the world never sold publicly, except for one in ???? mueseum.
While the interior & paint look brand new, I found it interesting that metal parts in the engine compartment (thermostat housing, generator casing, carborator, valve cover, had the faded gray weathered look. But hey, the aircleaner duct was new, shiney, and without tears.
I'm posting pics here. Also, the black GT had roughly 100,000 miles on it before the dealership bought it and restored it in the dealership service department.
