I live in San Pedro (part of the LA harbor) and there are a few in town.

Theres a yellow GT (really nice) that was parked on pacific blvd for a while (found out that the owner has passed away and the car is now gone).

Theres a blue manta with double shelby type white stripes - I have heard that this owner actually has a garage full of others.

Last sunday (6/26/05) I saw a really straight orange GT turn into the parking structure of a high rise on Ocean Blvd in Long Beach. Right across from the Trade Center. I think it actually had the tail strip on it.

On Harbor Blvd theres a West Marine and one of the Security Guards has Opels, and sometimes drives a Maroon Kadette (a beater but an Opel just the same).

And then theres PVcar, but I dont think he ever comes to Pedro!

There was a red Gt that was always at the 76 Union gas station on Silver Spur In PV, or actually Rolling Hills Estates. The owner worked there. I saw that car about 3 months ago and it motivated me to buy an Opel Gt again. I now drive mine around PV, Torrance and Redondo Beach. I will be putting new rims and tires on the car next Saturday in Torrance. I cant wait..

I was reading the posts tonight and Jay Leno was on (11.25 EST 7-7-05) and lo and behold the band that was playing outside had a Red Opel Gt to the left side of the screen. Don't know what time he comes on out in the different time zones, but they pan over the car 2 or 3 times. Almost thought it was a Z until I saw the front bumper twice. It was a Gt. Anyone here on the boards car? Jarrell

You need to get a new television or clean your screen!
I got the clip from NBC and the car mistaken for our beloved GT was a 1967 Toyota 2000! The concert segment in the Tonight Show with Jay Leno is called the "Toyota Concert Series". They also are the title sponsor for the concerts on the Today Show.
....you got me going though! Keep watching NBC!

My Tv is across the living room from the computer as background noise and I just caught what did look like a Gt. Man do I have egg on my face. :o A toyota. Oh man, that's bad. Time to see the eye doctor. Jarrell

I saw a little white GT at the Friday night cruise/show at the Rubys restaurant this past friday. I was waiting in line to get some chow with my 5 year old son (and had been waiting for a good while, otherwise I would have hunted the driver down). This was in Redondo Beach, CA. Anyone on this board?

Well, this is a strange Opel sighting.

I was in Reading, PA, home of the Shopping outlets with my wife and son. We were shopping for clothes. While in Vanity fair, in the women's section, they had shirts with an old fashioned advertisement on them. It was an ad for Adam Opel sewing machines and bicycles. I showed it to my wife and she just rolled her eyes.

No I didn't buy it. It was not her style(or mine)

I'm in Houston on business tonight and spotted a GT in front of a body shop in Pearland. It was stripped and in primer. The hood was off and I could see from the road that it had a V6 in it.

Belong to anybody here?

[ah ha]

I passed by a white gt on Graham hill rd.last week.Got a heads up,as I was in my 72 gt.I've seen one other on the road here and have found out the guy lives up by UCSC.We should all get together and take up a parking place.

I was driving north on Calumet between 80/94 and 90 in Hammond IN on Thursday 8/18. I spotted what looked to be a Kadet C, heading east and turning south on Calumet. I probably wouldn't have recognized it but it had a blitz front license plate. Whoever was driving it grinded the gears pretty harsh. Was this anyone on the list?

[Nuyens]

A yellow one. Nice shape. Always bombing around town.

[ConreroGT]

Saw a "weathered" yellow GT parked in a lot across from Boeing Field along....Hwy 99??...no, ...can't think of the road that goes right by the Field on the West side. Right past the Museum of Flight...um....dang it! Anyway, the owner on the list here?


Oh, that reminds me. I was watching the movie "Carrie" the other night and saw what I thought was some sort of Kadett/Sedan style Opel. It's the scene where Carrie and her prom date are pulling into the parking lot of the H.S. They park right next to it. Was it an Opel??

[spdkilz02]

my sister saw a yellow gt sitting at the mall in New Phila, and called me right away. didnt even know there was one down there.

[Marc]

Didn't know about the GT or the mall?

[spdkilz02]

[opelgtguy]

A co-worker saw a GT on a flat bed, Tuesday or Wednesday (6th or 7th of Sept), on Township Line Road near the intersection of Ridge Pike in Limerick, PA, headed toward Schwenksville, PA, at 7:00am.
Anyone on the list ?
