The Rare 1969 OPEL GT

Today’s AutoHunter Cinema feature is this 1969 Opel GT finished in silver-blue with a black bucket seat interior. Powered by the optional inline 1.9-liter 4-cylinder mated to the three-speed automatic transmission, the Opel GT was imported by GM and sold by Buick dealerships. Other features include power steering and brakes, console-mounted gauges, clock and modern Pioneer AM/FM cassette player.

I don’t know about coolest, but the sound they make is absolutely the most satisfying of all sounds man has ever made.

Remember Opel, GT ‘s when I was a kid growing up .They really rusted in the middle Atlantic states. General motors should bring this car back .

A great car, owned a red one, 4 speed, from 1987 to 1997. I was in the Air Force and stationed in Minot N.D. and put a spare battery under the hood, block heater and battery wrap in it to keep it from freezing. Ran a lot better in the cold than in the summer here in Southern California.

We had a gold '69. My favorite car of all time.

@autohunter cinema -- 1, 1L GT was not avail for USA, only Europe was small eng standard. USA was 1, 9L standard. all early Opels were sold at Buick dealers. Two of my relatives bought them new, one green + one orange.

It might be possible to swap the engine with another more recent Opel, the Calibra, then you'd have the choice between the 2L naturally aspirated engine (between 115 and 150 hp) and the 2L turbo engine (200 hp). For the understeering problem it's also due to the fact US versions GT didn't have the anti-roll bars the European version had. Modern tires can also reduce the underteering problem.

Rare? They made more than of them and 60% were exported to America.

Car looks fantastic. Odd they have the 2 different red brake lights. Reproduction lenses are now easy to find. The passenger side has the white center reverse light and driver side doesn't . The light below the license plate is the reverse light. License lights are at the ends of the bumpers. Also the driver side amber front marker light at 0:15 looks a little sun bleached.

So you mention how cool the hidden headlights are but don't show em.
