Paint colors

Victoria · 02-02-2006

Hi everyone!! I just have a quick question, and I probably dont even have it in the right forum, but here goes=
Were there any GT's ORIGINALLY IN BLACK?

Both of mine were red, and I've seen the green color but this one thing I do know= DO NOT under any circumstances, ask someone at your local parts store!!!! Especially if he or she or it looks to be about half your age , and asks you what kind of GT it is!!!!!!!!!

The book that I HAD back in the 80's had the paint chips in it but that was a long time ago. Its the age thing again. (bad memory).
OH well, any info would be appreciated.

that is very odd that they never had black, i personally think the gt looks really good in black...

Thanx be to all who replied to my question about paint colors.
I only wish that I had been able to have access to this GREAT OPEL COMMUNITY back in the 80's when I could'nt find parts and most of the comments that I got when I asked questions about helping me work on my GT
or for assistance in locating parts were=
1) Idont work on them=the are METRIC

or my favorite
2) what does a girl want with that kind of a car anyway- it's a standard shift
sports car!!!!
ANYWAY, keep up the good work, and thankx for letting me be an ever learning member. This is Victoria, the (not so new)
