Opel sighting

Around 3:30-4:00 pm, an orange Manta drove past my house northbound on Tennessee highway 231, a couple miles north of the town of Lebanon.

I was just curious if it was anyone on this list?

San Francisco Bay Area - Spotted a GT on the shoulder of Interstate 80 east bound through Vallejo, March 13, 2008 @ 1100 hours. Opel is primered, has nose damage, and has slotted mags.

My wife & I were in the dark red Bonneville that stopped to assist, but you drove off without saying anything. Are you anyone on this forum?

You were out my way and let nobody know. For Shame.
Hope you had a good trip.

Not around Naperville. I was in DeKalb which is about 50 miles West of there.
Could have been RockytopMark but I think his car is more Orange than Red.

I live very close to Naperville. You could have seen me on my way to or from Dekalb. Look at my album and check the color out.

Craigs List

I found my first 1973 Opel GT that I owned ten years ago listed for sale on Craigslist in San Francisco, CA. The owners since I sold it have added side skirts, under bumper air damn and gold and silver rims.

Anyone in CA interested in buying the car I might be able to find the guy's number if it's still available.

Not Me...

Had my GT out finally. Went up to Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin for a trip Thursday and returned Saturday. Ran great!

I think there is a Red GT here in Naperville though... I had seen it parked in a driveway a few years back, but never rolling. I don't believe the owner is registered here.
