This 1969 Opel GT, one of 31,474 1.9L versions built in its debut year, flaunts a Rally Red exterior that captures the essence of late '60s automotive design. The sleek, aerodynamic body features a distinctive clamshell hood and manual pop-up headlights, giving this compact sports car its unique "mini Corvette" look. Chrome front and rear bumpers add a touch of classic elegance, while the 13-inch Opel chrome wheels wrapped in 175/70R13 tires provide a sturdy stance. The steel body maintains its original curves, showcasing the GT's timeless appeal and marking it as a true icon of European sports car engineering.
Inside, the black vinyl interior creates a driver-focused cockpit that's both stylish and functional. The bucket seats offer ample support for spirited driving, while the floor-mounted shifter falls naturally to hand. The dash layout is clean and uncluttered, featuring easy-to-read gauges that keep vital information in clear view. Despite its compact size, the GT's interior provides a surprisingly comfortable space for two, proving that good things indeed come in small packages. The absence of power amenities like air conditioning or power steering keeps the driving experience pure and engaging, just as it was intended back in 1969.
Powering this Opel GT is a peppy 1.9-liter inline-four engine, mated to a slick-shifting 4-speed manual transmission. This powertrain combination delivers a lively and engaging driving experience, perfect for carving up backroads or cruising down the highway. The engine bay showcases the original 1.9-liter powerplant, identifiable by its casting number 19S 0332473. A single 2-barrel carburetor feeds the four cylinders, while a belt-driven cooling fan and standard radiator keep temperatures in check. The GT's lightweight design and well-tuned suspension, featuring leaf springs with shocks up front and coil springs with shocks in the rear, contribute to its nimble handling characteristics. Power Disc brakes up front provide confident stopping power, enhancing the overall driving dynamics of this classic sports car.
