I love my 1972 Opel GT. It gets tons of attention everywhere we go. With some relatively inexpensive upgrades, the car can be made to be very competitive performance wise with other cars of the day. The Opel GT makes a GREAT entry into the collector car hobby - unique and relatively inexpensive to restore and maintain.
I'm not going to lie - I love the car. For some reason a long hood that looks nearly identical to the [old] Corvettes makes a compact car look good.
more like interesting rather than an allround good car...but the only thing disappointing is the power, but it just makes them cheap today to buy, but not restore
Why? This car is garbage. Late 60's to early 70's had awesome cars this isn't one of them.

I'm also pretty sure that the new opal GT came first, GM wanted an American version so the rebodied the capable chassis as the pontiac solstice. However the opal design was sharper, and better, they ended up just rebadging it as a Saturn.
Sounds like a screaming bargain. Pre '75 cars are smog exempt in California, so somebody could boost the HP a little without the DMV being a pain in the A. If the engine needs a lot of work you could swap it out. Seems like lots of retro cool style.
Just because you're there doesn't mean your making money.
