Hello

Hi,

Greetings from Seacoast, NH.

My name is Dan and my first car was a '75 kadett when I was 15. Sadly I never got it running for more than 30 secs.

The best part of the whole experience was the picture of the GT in the Chilton's manual. I dreamed of it almost every night.

4 years later I bought and restored wretched '71 1900. This was in 1989.

Unfortunately, it was short lived. Due in great part to my being 19 and not very bright. I totaled it.

The love is still there for the brand and the model and now 20 years later I am seriously contemplating another GT project.

Anyway, I hope to make use of this fine site in my endeavors.

As it has been stated many times on this site, Opel-itis IS a disease, and there is no cure.

Welcome on board Dan......the disease "Opelitis" is a world wide! Once you've had, i'm afraid to say that sadly there is no cure.

Take some advise and do think......just do!

72 Opel GT for sale

I am in Mass and have a 72 GT that I would like to sell. I drove it into the garage 25ish years ago and never took it out again! My husband just is finishing up restoring his. I figure that it will be easy to sell mine when people look at his. He did an awesome job. So, if anyone is interested, let me know.
