Welcome

Welcome to the group. I hope you find the car you want. I presume you are after a GT, or does the Manta or Ascona (aka 1900) fit your fancy? Maybe one of our esteemed Ontarioan members can help you out. Rob? (Redliner Robbie, master of Opels non-GT) Or John or Graham or ???

Keep an eye on your local classic AutoTrader, although these cars tended to rust quite badly down in Ontario. Or anywhere with road salt, or even rain! If you want a good body, it might be worth your while to look further afield, such as in Saskatchewan or even here in Alberta. Or better still in California or Arizona. But I suspect that a GT with a reasonably rust-free body will be somewhat more than $1500 CDN, wherever you find it. And you might try posting in the classified section here, or on OMC ( http://www.opelclub.com/ ), or as a general post on the classicopels site at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/classicopels

Well the only Opels I have seen so far here in Ottawa are Graham's and my own. If I see any that may be in the price range requested I will be sure to post it here in the thread.

By the way, Keith, did you ever receive my recent email about the Weber carb request?

John,

Yep, and I sent a reply a week or so ago, to *******@hotmail.com (is that your e-mail address?). But I'll copy it on to this site, at:

YEs im lookign for an Opel GT. I saw a pair of them in niagara falls for 1500 a year or so back , There was more than enough to build one really decnt car, . As for body work, me and my father used to own a body shop , so that doesnt bother me. I just need a car to start working with.

Go to Opels Unlimited"s web site. It is a real mess and if you see anything that is interesting you will have to contact them. There is a section for cars for sale and also some cars in the sales section. However as I said the site is really very limited.

There are some Opel Gt's in the classified adds at
<Tim's Opel GT Site>.

 

[kendo600]

You might also check out the Opel Motorsport Club adds.

 

[want_an_opel]

and what is tims opel GT site?

 

[Stainless72]

Opels Unlimited has opels from 500 bucks on up.. Todd has a small army of GTs on his lot. Olny problem is if you don't wanna drive to MI to get a GT, CA is a whole lot further to come to get a beater or junker. Todd does have some nice complete GTs in the 5K to 8K range. Phone is on his website.. later you call the better, I normaly get a hold of him after 10 PM PST.
