THIS SITE UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!
As time goes on, I'll be able to take some serious pictures. I will show you the wiring nightmare that is this particular GT. I runs, sort of. It sputters a bit at the line, backfires when decelerating and any other random moment it may choose. Needs minor body work...no rust! (*sweet). Weber 2B Carb. Old flat metal mag rims (I think they're keepers, been told they are somewhat hard to find now.) Anyhoo, like I said, this site will get more in depth as time goes on. MINOR (thank you...) body work needed. Thanks for checkin it out and PLEASE!!, leave comments and/or tips/suggestions. I am very open to opinion and even more so when it comes to help.

The Little Beast with no Muffler. 1958 VW Transporter (Not mine...my friends). 1990 Honda Accord LX (My daily driver)

3 classics. The GT(73), the Bus(58), and the 1600(69).

90 Accord in background, foreground is 73 Fraud Gran Torino (not my gas guzzler)

Hey , man nice GT . good luck on that body work, mine was pretty tugh. I hope u dont have a 73 motor in there cause most likly its teh low compresion one nad only has about 65 HP,jeesh. if u want more power try and find a 69-71 motor with flat top pistons and it will have high compresion and will be in teh 85 80 hp range. nice GT!

It says you want suggestions, I would go with a color close to the original. It dosen't have to be the exact color. Maybe the orange like the Nissan 350. That is a really pretty color.
Maybe get on EBay and see if you can if they have any Opels on there to get some ideas or pull up other websites about Opels and compare colors. Have fun.

I love your little Opel GT. When I was a kid, which was about the time they were a brand new car. I had a teacher who owned one. I lived in Hughson, CA @ the time. Her's was yellow. They are a very rare car. I hope you can fix it back to original. Take care and good luck with your project. :O)
