1971 Opel GT

This car is located in:
Elgin, IL

The Opel GT is a front-engine, rear-drive two-seat sports car manufactured and marketed by Opel.

The first generation Opel GT (1968-1973) debuted as a styling exercise in 1965 at the Paris and Frankfurt motor shows. The production vehicle used mechanical components from the contemporary Opel Kadett B and two-door hard top bodywork by French contractor Brissonneau & Lotz. The styling of the GT was often cited as similar to the 1968 Chevrolet Corvette which went on sale in September 1967.

This vehicle was owned by a grandfather and a grandson taking turn for 20 years each. And they really did a great job in taking care of this Opel for 40 years. It has been garage-kept all this time and never seen the Illinois road salt. It was mainly driven on the weekends for grocery shopping or some summertime cruises.
