    Close but not a GT

    I got the clip from NBC and the car mistaken for our beloved GT was a 1967 Toyota 2000! The concert segment in the Tonight Show with Jay Leno is called the "Toyota Concert Series". They also are the title sponsor for the concerts on the Today Show.
    ....you got me going though! Keep watching NBC!

    My Tv is across the living room from the computer as background noise and I just caught what did look like a Gt. Man do I have egg on my face. :o A toyota. Oh man, that's bad. Time to see the eye doctor. Jarrell

    I saw a little white GT at the Friday night cruise/show at the Rubys restaurant this past friday. I was waiting in line to get some chow with my 5 year old son (and had been waiting for a good while, otherwise I would have hunted the driver down). This was in Redondo Beach, CA. Anyone on this board?

    Well, this is a strange Opel sighting.

    I was in Reading, PA, home of the Shopping outlets with my wife and son. We were shopping for clothes. While in Vanity fair, in the women's section, they had shirts with an old fashioned advertisement on them. It was an ad for Adam Opel sewing machines and bicycles. I showed it to my wife and she just rolled her eyes.

    No I didn't buy it. It was not her style(or mine)

    GT W/V6 in Pearland

    I'm in Houston on business tonight and spotted a GT in front of a body shop in Pearland. It was stripped and in primer. The hood was off and I could see from the road that it had a V6 in it.

    Belong to anybody here?

    I was driving north on Calumet between 80/94 and 90 in Hammond IN on Thursday 8/18. I spotted what looked to be a Kadet C, heading east and turning south on Calumet. I probably wouldn't have recognized it but it had a blitz front license plate. Whoever was driving it grinded the gears pretty harsh. Was this anyone on the list?

    Saw a "weathered" yellow GT parked in a lot across from Boeing Field along....Hwy 99??...no, ...can't think of the road that goes right by the Field on the West side. Right past the Museum of Flight...um....dang it! Anyway, the owner on the list here?


    Oh, that reminds me. I was watching the movie "Carrie" the other night and saw what I thought was some sort of Kadett/Sedan style Opel. It's the scene where Carrie and her prom date are pulling into the parking lot of the H.S. They park right next to it. Was it an Opel??

    dark blue GT - Limerick, PA

    A co-worker saw a GT on a flat bed, Tuesday or Wednesday (6th or 7th of Sept), on Township Line Road near the intersection of Ridge Pike in Limerick, PA, headed toward Schwenksville, PA, at 7:00am.
    Anyone on the list ?

    Not me. It could be the one from Darby(which is not running but is for sale), but that was primer gray. The only dark blue one in this area is Dennis Weil's and he lives in East Greenville. It would pass through Schwenksville if it came from Ridge pike. I saw Dennis Wed. night and his GT was driveable.
    I hope he is OK. I will try to e-mail him

    The only other blue GT I can think of is Dave Macey's, but his is a Viper Blue, not really dark blue.

    I was just told of an Opel GT that was in a local car show presented several weeks ago by the Rocky Mountain Street Machines club, the only info given was that it was silver and very nice. No other details were given. Whose car was that? The only running and driven GT in this county I know about is mine.
