Both the 71 and 72 are drivable. #2 need the brakes looked after.

Very nice! Are the rims painted the same color as the body? More pix would be great.

I am only 19 (in 6 days) and I have a bad, untreatable case of Opelitis. I have owned, to MY name, 9 Opel GT's!

With my newest addition, I have owned all years from 69' to 73!
