One of Germany’s lesser-known automakers, Opel has been quietly making solid vehicles for nearly a century. The company’s roots date back over 160 years, when it was founded by Adam Opel and started making sewing machines. One of their notable models from the Sixties and Seventies has got to be the Opel GT. This handsome front-engined two-seat sports car with rear-wheel drive was made between 1968 and 1973 and quickly made waves for its design. Today, we have one of these relatively rare cars on sale, a 1972 Opel GT from Covington, Kentucky. With just over 4,100 miles to its name, this is your chance to pick up something that doesn’t always appear on the market.
Exterior and Interior
The breathtaking lines of this 1972 Opel GT are captivating, to say the least, when presented with the yellow paint job that you see in the photos of this listing. What the listing doesn’t effectively convey is that this is a fairly compact car. It comes in at around 162 inches long, 62 inches wide and 48 inches tall. Yup, that’s pretty easy to manage in our country. Plus, it has hidden headlamps and chrome bumpers. Then, we get to its wheels which are seriously cutesy, at just 13 inches in diameter! Of course, these are wrapped with 70-profile rubber from Toyo. Oh, and those hidden headlamps aren’t powered, but manually operated. Moreover, they don’t pop-up like you’d expect, but rotate about a longitudinal axis! Another quirky feature is the car’s lack of a rear tailgate or liftgate; the cargo area is accessed via the interior. The black interior of this 1972 Opel GT features two seats and a luggage area directly behind. Behind this area, a flip panel hides the spare tire and tire changing equipment. We see some speakers have been installed in this panel, fed by the relatively modern radio head unit that mimics the look of a classic push-button radio.
Engine
This 1972 Opel GT packs a 1.9-liter CIH (cam-in-head) 4-cylinder engine. This naturally aspirated unit can make around 100 horsepower. It drives the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission. The car uses a live axle with coil springs in the rear. Braking is power-assisted, with front discs and rear drums. However, steering is unassisted, which isn’t too much of an issue since the car weighs around 2,000 pounds or so when unladen.
Today’s car on sale is the breathtakingly beautiful Opel GT. It’s a compact German sports car that’s quite unlike the contemporary American cars that ruled the Sixties and Seventies. With its steel unibody chassis and rotary flipping headlamps, the GT was powered by a 1.9-liter four-cylinder unit. This particular 1972 Opel GT has got just 4,200 miles on it and is up for grabs in Covington, Kentucky. It embodies the quirky nature of Opel’s cars back then, and is a fantastic choice to make if you want to be known for distinctiveness, especially when you rock up at a classic car meet or drive event.

The 1963 Chevrolet Corvette marked the debut of the revolutionary second-generation Corvette, known today as the C2 Sting Ray. Featuring dramatic styling, hidden headlamps, and an independent rear suspension, the 1963 model represented a giant leap forward for America’s sports car. This particular 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible shows just 426 miles and is finished in timeless Ermine White over a striking Red vinyl interior. Under the hood sits the highly desirable fuel-injected 327ci L76 V8, a powerplant that helped establish the Corvette as a world-class performance machine. Combining iconic styling, advanced engineering for its era, and one of the most sought-after engine options available, this Corvette is a true collector-grade American classic.
Cadillac entered the 1980s as America’s premier luxury marque, and the DeVille remained one of its most recognizable flagships. Designed to deliver effortless cruising comfort, elegant styling, and a commanding road presence, the DeVille embodied the traditional American luxury car formula that Cadillac had perfected over decades. This 1980 Cadillac DeVille shows 90,728 miles and is finished in sophisticated Western Saddle Firemist Metallic with a matching Saddle Velour interior. Equipped with the desirable d’Elegance Package, a black vinyl roof, and modern upgrades including 22-inch aftermarket wheels and a Kenwood audio head unit, this DeVille successfully blends classic Cadillac luxury with a customized appearance that is sure to stand out wherever it goes.
The 1972 Porsche 911 T Coupe represents one of the most unique and collectible variants of the long-hood 911 lineage. As part of Porsche’s F-Series generation, the 911 T combined lightweight driving dynamics with the company’s proven air-cooled flat-six formula. The 1972 model year is especially significant because it was the only year Porsche fitted the now-famous external oil filler door, known by enthusiasts as the “Ölklappe.” Designed to improve weight distribution by relocating the oil tank ahead of the rear axle, this feature has become one of the most recognizable identifiers of a genuine 1972 911. This example is finished in attractive Albert Blue over a tan interior and shows approximately 76,346 miles.
