1969 Opel GT review from North America
"Cool little affordable collectors sports car, which is rare"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The headlights sometimes break free from their mounts.
It is designed to run on leaded fuel, so it pings quite a bit.
The exhaust and body are not just prone to rust, but actually have some sort of mystical power to attract it.
Replacing the battery is nearly impossible.
General comments?
Great little collector car that can be bought at a good price.
Find one without a crease or dent near the front hood scoops, and it's rare.
Handles relatively well - albeit slow and sloppy compared to the newer cars out there.
Considered rare.
Great looks. Take off the Opel labels and slap on some Ferrari labels, paint it red and inside make it black, and those who don't know too much will believe you are in a Ferrari.
