Forum: Introductions

Hey guys and Gals! I am new to the forum and new to Opel ownership. I picked up my 71 GT through some trade dealings. (traded a pressure washer and a welder that I never use) And I drove it home. The car looks rough on the outside right now, but there is very very very little rust. The car...

So nice to see people appreciate the art that is an Opel GT. Glad to see it. Mine was a '72 burnt orange 1.9L, with anti sway bars front and back, dropped (using factory adjustments only) for handling. It had a Rajay 302b flow turbocharger with a 0.25 lag housing (early spool up), waste gate,...

I have just bought my first Opel GT, a 1972 with 36,000 original miles, original paint, etc. I need to get it shipped from New Jersey to South Florida. Can anyone offer advice on a way to find a shipper that can ship the car in an enclosed trailer at a reasonable price. I am in no hurry to get the...

Hello, I am interested in the Opel GT and love the looks of the car. I have a few questions if you don't mind. First and foremost, no I don't want to drop a V8 into an Opel! I live on the Olympic Peninsula and work at a prison that is about as far NW as you can get in the US without falling...

Hello everyone, I have had my 1973 opel stored in a workshop for the last 3 years. But having pushed it out today...... It really is a striking car.

Hi all, Little about me. I bought my first 70 GT back in 1990's for $700 yes that is right. Drove the heck out of it for about a year before the clutch went out on it. Dropped the engine out and replaced it but then there were bigger issues that I could not fix in the time that I had to get it...

Hello all, I just bought my Opel GT in Feb. (2012) and haven't done much to it yet except compound and wax, lol! She's a 1970, no all "stock" I don't think - I believe the dash is a donor and the front emblem is from a Corvette. The seats are also from a Corvette. I think. She needs some TLC and...
