Hey by chance did you go to the Opel ralley in Parkland/Spanaway this last summer? A&W Rootbeer shop if I remember right.
We had just bought our 72 GT and the few people I talk to asked me which one was mine? DUH, didnt even think about driving it out there. We were just going out to get ideas on how we want to make it look.

MIL has a cabin just across from Stretch Island on Pirats Cove so we get out to your area all the time.

i see you are near rabac (rabbits to the rest of the world) i was there in my youth on a holiday (all boose and food deal ) how long are you there for as i may be back in the summer if we cant get an ok to fly for my wife to go to the states
btw do you know the name of the microsoft route planer for that area ?

rstrel · 12-31-2005

Baz..my GT is just 5 km from Rabac. Its in Labin. I go there about 2 times a month,4 days at a time. This summer I'll be on vacation probably in the beginning of July. If your there drop me an e-mail message and we will meet up! I wouldn't have the faintest idea about the name of the Microsoft Route planer for that area or any other. Sorry.

OpelGT-de · 01-03-2006

I am from Russelsheim Germany. I know appr 20 GTs (12 running, 8+ project cars) and 10 Mantas here in town (population 60k).
Also I know 40-50 GTs (different stages) in a circle of 30 miles.
Btw, my friend Gunter owns 11 of theses...

Rolf

asdasc · 01-03-2006

Gunter must be a wonderful fellow!

Welcome, and please give them all the website information!
Thanks,

greenopelgt · 05-15-2006

Tom and Ms. Opel here in Cincinnati. There are several Opel Gt's in the tri-state area but I have only seen 2 together at one time. The other one was my former 1973 red restored Opel GT that my Plumber just sold to a fellow a mile away but it must be sleeping. I'm going to see David's (69whitegt) on Thursday when we leave for Carlisle.

Ms. Opel gets loaded in the trailer Wednesday afternoon when we pick here up from the showroom of my local Saturn Sky dealer where she has been on display for the last month.

Tom,

I know I haven't known you long but you have to get a new story!

Rolf, is Gunter coming with you to Carlisle? He blew me away with his GT knowledge when we were looking at the so called '68 GT in the yard at Opels Unlimited back in 2000. I mean how many people know there were different hood styles on the early GT's? And I'm not talking about the single/dual hood latch.

greenopelgt · 05-16-2006

Actually, I live a pretty boring life so the story has only a few chapters so far but who knows maybe I'll get a personality some day.

Gary,

Unfortunately Gunter can not participate , because he had a lot of work at home.
Harold, a friend from Germany (owner of an Opel GT and other vintage Opel cars will go with me).

Ohh,…our departure from Frankfurt/Germany is in appr 18h.
Time to pack my bag …

Hello from Manila, Philippines!

timemachine · 11-16-2006

Well I am late to sign into this poll. I'm in Swarthmore, PA south of Philly. I have begun to conclude that PA is perhaps the greatest hotbed of existing 70s Opels, I'm tempted to think because of the Dutch/German population in the middle of the state looking for a cheap German car. There are just a lot of these cars out here, from great to rusted to death.

I might start a thread on Opels by state just to confirm this. Wherever you are, enjoy your cars!

Born Savannah, GA, 1966. Raised Tampa, FL 1967-72; Plattsburgh, NY/Burlington VT (It's not a happy story

) 1972-76; Portland, ME 1976-78; Metro Atlanta 1978-2000, 2005-present; Hinesville, GA 2000-2005. Connected by Marriage to Lima, Peru, and I have a son in San Jose, Costa Rica. Lived with Opels everywhere but Portland & Hinesville. Georgia's climate favors a car living until it wears out or something flat out kills it. Heck, even a Vega wouldn't rust out in Atlanta for five or six hours, at least!

I bought my 72 GT in Germany when I was stationed there. I'm now back and have been recently stationed at Beale AFB near Sacramento. I gotta go pick her up from shipping here soon. Can't wait.

Is this a euro spec GT or are we reimporting a US one? We want pictures when you get it!!

By Golly, I was stationed there in the mid 60s. There's a couple of folks from the membership that are there also. One's a pilot stationed there and the other lives in Yuba City. You gotta get together.
