1969 Opel GT

First introduced in 1969 to America, I believe. This has an uncanny similarity to Corvettes of the era, of course much scaled down. This was a popular seller here...a friend of mine had one and fastidiously looked after it. It was on exhibit at the San Diego Transportation Museum for a period of time.

I had a couple of these stored at my moms house but had to give one away to my nephew. I still have one in red and stored in my brothers garage.

@MrRaiderfan1000 I think they are real keepers...a friend of mine had one too. Unfortunately, he died at an early age...don't know what ever happened to his Opel. Thanks! :) Jack

@raconter1 Yah.. they are, and my white one looked just like this one. My mother sold her nice house in West Los Angeles and moved to a Condo. I remember one of my nephews was in love with cars and would always come over and just sit in it. He would ask me what I was going to do with it and I told him that if he kept his grades up and stayed out of trouble that I would give it to him. When he was old enough to drive. I had remembered what I promised him 10 years earlier and the care was his!

@MrRaiderfan1000 That is a great gesture! And you know the car went to someone who will really appreciate it, and remember you kindly! Your nephew is lucky to have you as an uncle! Thanks! :) Jack

@8sixfeetunder Hey, David! Thanks again...the best information is often from people who either had the car or know someone who did! I changed the title of the vid! :) Jack

[8sixfeetunder]

@8sixfeetunder  Hey, David! Thanks for the dating of the Opel...I appreciate! :) Jack

if its all original, its probably a 1969 judging by the wooden steering wheel and black interior

@thomassmithification This video is a year old, and values have come down somewhat over that period of time...it looks in good shape to me...and the owner says "or best offer"..so he/she is open to negotiation. Thanks!  :) Jack
