Forum: GT

Did any GT's ever come with a rear seat??? I don't think so but thought I would ask. I have a family of four and am looking to put a rear seat in my GT. Any suggestions? I think there is enough room for my 2 small munchkins (3 and 6). I would have to take out the rear 'platform' and find a...

Anyone in need of one of these? I was looking through some of my stash and came across this. It's one key for an original Hirschmann antenna (mostly on GT's) along with a 16 page booklet. The booklet has water satins on it, but, is still VERY readable and in great shape. I'll put an ad in the...

I finally got around to checking the engine numbers on the block today while I was doing some minor work on my GT. Here is the picture of the numbers. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l154/lb_300/PICT0540.jpg As I understand it the asterix at the beginning and ending of the numbers...

I was just wondering what the specs for these cars are. Specifically the weight, top speed, etc. thanks -Colt

Browsing through webpages, I found some information I did not know. Just wondering how much truth is behind it.. "the only Opel ever sold by GM of Canada was the 1971 and 1972 GT" "The only German built Opel sold in the U.S. recently is the Cadillac Catera. It is actually a German Opel with...

This guy claims this GT came from the factory without rear bumpers! Did they sell them this way?! eBay Motors: Opel : Opel (item 140117254524 end time May-18-07 14:46:28 PDT)

Could anyone tell me what the purpose of the 2 clear tubes on each side just above the gas tank? These tubes are larger than the fuel vent lines which connected to the cannister. The upper end of the tube connects to the body which runs up the panel just over the wheel well and connects to a...

Any Opelers in the Norfolk VA area? I'm going to be working there the first of next week and wanted to see if anyone wanted to talk Opels over an adult beverage or two.

yes that is right my grandfather finally gave me his opel that has been sitting in his back yard for about 6 or 7 years. changed all the fluids n plugs n went over everything and it runs great. it has alot of new parts on it to. the only bad thing is that it needs body work done cuz it has rust on...

I was told last weekend, that the GM sign, (3 by 3 cm), I have on my GT, just center and below the rear window and above the fillercap is not originally:eek:. Anyone who knows anything about that ? Searched the net, and until now I have only found on a few others :confused: with the same...

I just purchased my first Opel GT, based on my Grandfather's suggestion. He owned one "back in the day," rambling on about it. I am based out of Fargo, ND, and will be going to Oregon to pick it up in two weeks. I will be driving it back O_o. Let's start with a quick background It has no...

I have a question and being new to this forum i thought this was the place to ask. I just litterally got back from a salvage yard around me and have located 2 Opel Gt's I think one is a 1968/69 not sure and i am not sure about the other one (they look similar). Some parts from the one GT are...

Year- nothing definitive, the dash cover has covered those numbers, nothing on the door jam. Nothing in engine bay on cowl, VIN on title indicates '70, there were fender badges in the spare parts pile, tailights are older (non-split Manta type), but windows are pop out and the GM badge under rear...

Does anyone have a guide or could tell me about what to look for when looking at buying a gt. I'm looking at a 71 one that needs quite a bit of work done to it tomorrow, so any hints would be helpful. some questions i have: How to check if it's high or low comp. engine- the guy says it is How...

I have been meaning to put this on the site for quite a while, my wife found this being a childrens book collector. Anyways it is a book called "Colors Everywhere" and it is a book full of pictures with color bars on each side of the pics to incorporate what colors go in the picture. Mid-way...

After reading that several members has contacted Mr. Rainer Hopfengart at Opel with their VIN to get a history of their vehicle, I decided to try this as well via email. I waited a couple weeks and didn't hear anything so I tried again with a read receipt. I received the following error: DNS...

How many GT's are killed in accidents or died having the rustvirus? I've seen a lot of GT's going R.I.P. A german GT buddy of mine often does some surgery on GT bodies for parts and then they RIP. He is surely isn't the only one who trades in GT body parts. So the number of dead GT's is very high...
