Young clientele in the visor today is the GT of Günter wolf a pure leisure time car. 20 years ago however it
went with the Opel too second over the Alps until to Italy. An adventure packs with tent equipment and air
mattress certainly. Yet the GT appears as a true room miracle – prefaced, also the littlest cavity is
exploited for the baggage.
To the need, there was also a porter, but that was screwed rarely on the roof. "Only flies is prettier!"
This word winged in the mean time is the advertising slogan nearly loud for at that time ratios for the GT.
Also in the tv-advertising, Opel goes a new way and shows clearly, for which clientele the stylish Karossen
are thought. The GT belongs the youth – record driver and cadet driver must remain outside.
Günter wolf possesses another second GT. With only 30,000 miles on the Tacho, the re-import is out of the USA a real good fortune handle. The dry climate of California preserved the vehicle regular. New varnish? Wrong! This GT is complete unrestauriert! Therefore Günter wolf lets stand it most dearly
also in the garage – a scratch, and the original condition was there.
Problems at the Opel GT Günter wolf: "I this car possess now already 16 years. This car itself in the countries had bought provided, and brought simply to Germany and picked up also self in
Hamburg. This car is for me somewhat entirely special. I am not dangers with this car until four thousand miles now approximate, more. Only for meeting or as an exhibit once lent."
GT 22 high the only 1 meter ventured nevertheless 940 kilos. It accelerates in 11.5 seconds of zero on
hundred. Thanks to best condition out of California, Günter wolf with its Oldie has hardly problems.
Günter wolf: "we have here a GT model 72 that is absolutely perfect, how one sees, but cannot take that one in the
principle as a standard, to which vehicles that run probably yet in Germany or otherwise where. Of the mechanics,
there is less problems at the GT. It gives problems rather here in the area because of rust at the fender and at the
lower Luftleitblech where the batteries were and always boiled over not yet maintenance free and the gases there
corrode here the entire sheet metals. Then we have here ground sheet metal connection, Schweller in the frame area to
the Achsaufhängung. There is rust also at the stern area – Endblech interior, Endblech outside and the total stern
area is very rust susceptible."
The load work of the GT comes from the B-cadet, is voted however substantially tighter. The motor mounted
behind the front axle provides for an optimal weight distribution. Until today unique: the extravagant
Klappmechanismus of the floodlight with rotation around the characteristic axis. That GT-junior 1971st
recognition sign appears: the mat black bumper. Typically for the American version: the choked motor.
The end of the GT Günter wolf: "the motor here performs 78 HP vis-à-vis which German model had where we 90 HP.
That was changed is worse has at the condensation and at the ignition distributor, because in America the
fuel than here and no lead."
To the basis equipment, scarves seats belong, and the tiny obstruction specialty in the stern. For a sports
car sooner atypical: the narrow Beckengurt. No standard is the Motorisierung of the getunten vehicle. Günter
wolf: "that a 2,4-Liter-Motor is reach with two 50er-Weber-Vergasern and programmable ignition angle
adjustment where we an achievement of ca. 200 HP."
For so much achievement, the GT is not displayed however. So that the TÜV gives its blessing to the reconstruction, schweißt Günter wolf a
Überrollkäfig on. It makes the vehicle distortion stiff and tüv-suitably. In appearance demanded Opel for the GT approximately 12 thousands mark –
3500 marks more than for the record. Günter wolf: "if one has it once and it is intact the car, can hold one it with little money in place.
Acquisition price for a good car is relatively favorable. One gets such a car for 10 thousands Euro – a very good car."
1973 worry new security-standards and more severe exhaust fume directions in the USA that the GT may be sold
so no longer. The head paragraph market breaks away. Opel decides against the further development and places
the production after only five years again on.
