Brilliant! This was the only decent car my dad ever bought!!! Black plastic seats were terrible to sit on in the middle of summer tho! Thanks for sharing it. Brings back great memories. Oscar

I owned a 68 sprint coupe ,twin Webber 40s, were stock ,2 into one exaust, wheels were Rostyle with 185 x13,s ,1905 engine ,and came with a vinyl roof,same model was used in a Charles Bronson film,they were a good performer:

[TheLarmy]

could you tell me what wheels and tires are on? (the dimensions)

[BennyOpelSVK]

@TheLarmy do you mean original wheels?

[paky66]

@TheLarmy original dimensions are 13" and 5.5j for the rims, tire size is 6.40-13 (you can replace with 180x80R13 if you can find...)

[TheLarmy]

@paky66 Thanks! I've found some technical data on the internet, and it says that originals are 5.80-13", but the spare wheel that was in the car when I bought them is 6.40-13", but mine is Sedane...

Hello Benny, My dream is one day be a owner of one car like yours, I'm from Brazil and here we have this same car, but here its called "Chevrolet Opala", google it and you will se that Opel Rekord C is the brother of our "Opala".

[TheLarmy]

@v123ak thats because GM (General Motors) is the owner of both the Opel and the Chevrolet, so they look the same. Practicaly, the design is originaly made by Chevrolet...

So ein Quatsch! Sowas muss orginal bleiben!

Da wurden schon zu viele von irgendwelchen Spinnern verpfuscht.

[Eddiemotor]

it looks like the designer have looked at Dodge's Charger when he/she designed it, am i correct? =)

[BennyOpelSVK]

yes, it's maybe possible. I thought about that so many times before. Definitely it have comparable body lines

[Wolle3007]

Hey, Benny!

[vwwreck]

What was that place you bought it from, an old dealership or a museum or...?

[BennyOpelSVK]

No, i has bought it from private collector

[gioporsche]

I have one just like it! Just a a 1971, but looks just the same (red with black vinyl roof). Such a lovely car.

[nunokawa1973]

Nice one, take good care of it ...

[BennyOpelSVK]

thanks, i will do :)

[nunokawa1973]

I got a 1967 light green Commodore coupé, check out my videos.

It just came out of paint shop 2 months ago I love it even more now :))

[CommodoreCaravan1981]

yes fully right take good care of your baby :-))...

[Wolle3007]

Great Car... great song and great Pic´s. Where was the Collection?

I Need parts for the red inventar for my 1966 Rekord 2-Door Limo.

[BennyOpelSVK]

It was about 80km from Prague. There was another one 2door limo, but interior wasn't red. Which part you need?

[Wolle3007]

That´s a pity :-(

I need the carpet in red color...

I have already one in the car, but it isn´t the Original. Thats the only one thing in my Baby whats not original and that sucks...

Greetings from Munich

[Exo6Desmo]

i got a rekord c too (i got 2,but one is a donor )and i`m currently restoring + some modifications. rekords are nice and reliable cars

[BennyOpelSVK]

thanks my friend :) i think, that nobody can produce more beautiful design as in sixties..

btw, this one is also working, and it stands for 7 years in garage, but unfortunately, without signs :)

[CommodoreCaravan1981]

thats right, the best cars, i think, were built from the late 50ies up to the early 80ies, and in the 60ies you can see the ghost and spirit from the new awakening especially in the cars.

7 years and it runs? whow, thats quality. btw, 2003 i got a free commo c voyage 2.5E, sat 4 years under a prune-tree :-(( . some gas in the tank, oil checked, battery on, turn the key and after 15 seconds the engine runs like it was sat yesterday. i was more than surprised.

[BennyOpelSVK]

yeah, 7 years, that's amazing :) i have bought it from one collector, and when he bought it, he parked it in his garage, and the car didnt move for a single one milimeter for 7 years. When i've seen it for the first time, the keys were still in ignition :) we started it maybe after 4-5 minutes :) the brakes weren't so good, so we have to drive slow, but it works... ;)

[CommodoreCaravan1981]

well done, a very good decision. i can imagine that you are so happy, the Reko-C/Commo-A series were one unit, one line from the front to the end, no silly edges and "design-accidents" like some actual cars.

i know the feeling you must have had, i've had the same when i carry my Commo Voyage home, but i was in luck: i could do it on the own axle for 200 Km with no probs, and it was sat for 3 years. Opel forever :-)) ....

[BennyOpelSVK]

oh, and i forgot, if you are interested, you can see some pics from restoration on my website under "board" section :)

[CommodoreCaravan1981]

ok, i'll take a look :-))

[classicwalker]

Emotive

[BennyOpelSVK]

:) it was more emotive as it look like :)

[classicwalker]

Take a look for my Commo A !
