What year GT?

69whitegt · 01-20-2006

Hi, I am new here and just bought a opel gt from my friend and me nor him are sure of the year. Can you tell by looking at the chassis number? The number is 931835284. If any one can tell me what year it is that would be great.

hi and welcome to the site...where r u from in ohio?

spdkilz02 · 01-20-2006

i believe that would be a 1970...http://www.opelgt.com/forums/showpos...2&postcount=25

Just in case you didn't know your engine should be the powerhouse 1.1 liter engine with twin carbs.

It is a 1970 but chassis or serial number doesn't mean much since they were all over the map in that respect. Pop the hood and count the carbs then you will know.

I understood that the cars titles might not always match up with the manufacturers dates but I thought a model 93 was always a 1.1 engine car.

From the factory it is, but it may have had a drivetrain swap at some point. IF it is truly a 1970 1.1L, then it is much more rare than a similar '69 version... whatever that counts for.

But as I read the numbering sequence, it appears to falls within the 69 model year.

hrcollinsjr · 01-20-2006

I don't know what all a proper drivetrain swap would be but it would be a pain in the behind.

Front crossmember or at least the spring
Brakes
Transmission and probably the crossmember
Rear differential along with the driveshaft

That's just what comes to mind and I'm sure there is plenty more. Too much hassle for most people.

It only has one carb. It is not a factory, it is a holley 2 barrel. How do you know if it is a 1.9 or 1.1?

69whitegt · 01-21-2006

oh, spdkilz02's in reply to your question I am in Batavia ohio.

nobody · 01-21-2006

For both 69 and 70 the model designation of 93 only means it's a GT. The motor type was never in the serial number on those years, neither was tranny type. I think the info of a single carb of some variation says it all.

Anybody ever heard of a single on a 1.1 except that rare ssd setup?

baz · 01-21-2006

easy way to settle this before we get into the whole chassis /engine numbers debate

does the carb manifold go into the top of the head (1.1 in photo ) or the side of the head (1.9 as in this link http://www.opelgt.com/photos/showpho...0/ppuser/19166) ??

Then what is a 94 model?

As to the carb situation someone could have had problems with the duals and had access to a Kadett with a 1.1 and used the single carb from it.

Not trying to start an argument on the models but it goes against all that I've read. I will wait until daylight but I'm sure I have at least one '70 GT and will check the model designation. I'm positive that the serial # starts with 94.

harold have a lok at the link in post #3 then all will be clear as mud

hrcollinsjr · 01-21-2006

baz,

I'm like a hog in mud!

1970 started with 93 (1.1 motor) or 94 (1.9 motor) at 93-1892645 or 94-1888818

Re-read the quote that states the model 93 only means that it is a GT. That is what I was referring to.

If I'm wrong maybe I just got up too early on my day off.

Norbert - If that database had an English version, we could add a lot of info from the US GT's to it.

baz · 01-21-2006

and the uk

69whitegt · 01-21-2006

Baz , it is on the side. The same friend who sold it to me ( he is a member here) he has a 1969 1.9 GT and his is the same exact setup as mine. So im shure it is a 1.9 from what you said. Im shure now it is a 1969 so everything is good. THANKS GUYS!!
