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.
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.
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.
