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.
Exterior and Interior
This 1972 Opel GT wears a Sun Yellow suit, shining brightly while it rolls on simple 13-inch steel wheels. It’s a Luxus trim vehicle, we’re told. Those interesting headlamps might look like traditional pop-ups but in fact, they rotate sideways, at the same time and in the same direction. Plus, they’re not powered, but manually activated via a center console-mounted lever. Other features of this car include chrome bumpers and circular taillamps that reminisce back to those worn by a certain prolific Italian automaker in the same period. Oh, and this car is positively diminutive. It’s under 162 inches long, just over 62 inches wide, and a mere 48 inches in height. The black interior of this 1972 Opel GT features a full suite of gauges including a tachometer, a heating and ventilation system, and a newer radio. This is a retro-styled unit with modern media connectivity choices. We see that an aftermarket clock has also been installed within the speedometer’s glass surface. The car is a two-seater with black leather seats, and a padded luggage area behind them. Here, we can also spot two aftermarket speakers, driven by the modern head unit in the center console.
Engine
This 1972 Opel GT packs a 1.9-liter four-cylinder engine. The cam-in-head unit uses a single Solex caburetor. It’s paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and the car is rear-wheel drive. You’ve got worm and roller steering, front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. There’s a rear rigid axle suspension with coil springs, while the front uses an independent double wishbone set-up.

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.
