1969 Opel GT Coupe

NEW LOWER RESERVE !!! BID TO WIN
PLEASE BID ONLY IF YOU ARE REAL and DONT HAVE TO ASK MOMMY OR
YOUR WIFE - I had to end it early last time because of idiots who dont
understand really how ebay works.
IF you have never viewed one of our auctions before, e prepared to see
an auction the way they where meant to be seen long distance !!
Sure the girls are a nice touch, ut we really do show viewers almost every
area of the car we can think of. We pull off the rims, ack it up and try to
get pics in areas most other sellers dont even bother trying.
(watch us in the near future when we get our borescope !! and we start adding
pics of inside the cylinders and gas tanks !!)
Barn find that has been taken our of storage in OK and on its way back to
being a road worthy vehicle for someone who really loves these cars .
Even the tires on the car are old bias ply from the 80s.
Titled as a 1969 Opel GT . not many left on the road thats for sure.
But still have a great following and lots of places to buy repop parts for it.
Chances are if you buy it and take it to the next cruise night, ou probably
wont see another one around the same event ! Dare to be different !
Brief History on the car: spent most of its life in OK and the past 15 yrs in a
garage in OK. It was recently brought to Tucson and got running again . Some of
the work done is:
NEW: fuel lines, lectric fuel pump, acuum lines, uel filter, nd the Weber carb was
rebuilt. (although the car still idles higher then it should, o not sure if its a vacuum
leak or what.) The car has a header on it too which makes the car louder then you
may be use to, nd there is a gasket leak where the header bolts to the head under
the hood which is loud.
Brakes: include new rear wheel cylinders, hoes and hardware kits, LSO both front
calipers rebuilt and brake master too in the last yr.
Gas tank was cleaned and resealed about 6m ago
Once all this got done, he car was driven on its maiden voyage around the block
a few times and it did okay for what it was.

Odometer shows 18xxxx miles on it, ut chances are is has rolled over
at least once., UT KEEP in mind, his car has been in a garage for many
yrs off and on, nbsp;so maybe it is original miles.
Its not been on the road since the 90s.

1 of the HOTTEST Import CARS BEING RESTORED when you can find one !

DRIVETRAIN:under the hood is the original the best I can tell so if you
decide to restore it back to stock, ou are good to go, lthough some people
are doing engine swaps in these cars too during the restoration.
The clutch, rans and rearend all seem okay too for their age. The Weber
and header on these motors added some decent hp to the stock set up
making them more fun to drive then avg and still keeping an almost stock
appearance. Motor has a little clatter under the valve cover, o not sure if
the valves are adjustable but just thought Id mention it. Maybe its just because
its ideling at 1800 rpms.

INTERIOR: as you can see in the pics below, he interior is pretty worn
and beat up. Under the carpet the floors are actually pretty solid, sp in the
rear. Most of the vinyl etc is worn and needs replacing. The factory gauges
all seem intact and I think most of them work still. Shifter feels good and
rest of the dash buttons etc are in pretty good shape. Except the old 80s radio
haha. Not sure if they had a back seat, ut if so this one is missing. Not sure
what else I can say, ut check out all the pics and lmk if you have any questions.
Lever for the headlights works but very stiff and tight. Interior dash lights work
well and actually look great at night ! Doors open and close well and seem to
align up well, eaning the hinges are in good shape too.

Exterior: originally the car was Aztec Gold, hile at sometime back in the 80s
the car was repainted a slightly different shade of Gold. Since then the car got a few
bumps and dents. Also, ust.. you will see in the pics rust around some of the rear
wheels, ear 1/4s, art of the lower rockers and the large pan under the front battery
area got the worst of it. Some other key areas didnt get any rust luckily. So expect to
have to get some patch panels done around the car for a proper restoration. The paint
in areas is so baked, ts down to the primer and there is alot of surface rust as well
on the car, ut its really not as bad as you may think, o please Check out
ALL the pics well, n and around and UNDER the car so you can see for yourself where
its located etc. Front windshield is cracked, es. IF you win the car and want it fixed before
shipping out, mk and Ill see what sort of deal I can get for you. I have some good connections
on getting glass done locally. Some of the outside lights work and some dont.
Obviously this car has the look of a shrunken down Corvette, ts no secret. And
the factory Rally rims with caps and beauty rings help pull off the look even more.
The rear taillight panel though, ctually looks more like a Ford Daytona Coupe
from the mid 60s, nd Im pretty sure that was no coincidence either. Look at the
rear of a Daytona Coupe, ts pretty sexy.

SUSPENSION: the suspension looks mostly original thus far, ts going to need
some restoration here Im sure, ut its a good starting platform. Driving it around the
block, t feels pretty solid and good for a car this old, ut handles like you may expect
too, nd thats on OLD OLD skinny bias ply tires. I can imagine how good this car would
handle with a nice set of 205-50-15s and some 7 or 8" rims to match. I noticed the rear
suspension has a Panard bar under it. Not sure if its factory or not, ut they do help
with the handling side of the cars DNA. I can see this car at a local SCCA event, ow
cool that would be to run against some modern stuff. Not sure if any of the bushings
under the car need replacing, ut Id guess some are going to need to be done during its
restoration process. I guess you could even go up to some 17" wheels and tires too
for a more modern look and feel, ust depends on what your plans are for the car.
Even as aged as it is, he car still handles great driving it around the parking lot.
Its like a little go kart !
Handles great, ike these cars where meant too. Tires are dry and old.

This car is 90% rust free Arizona car

People wait months for a car like this to pop up for sale.
And even a car with some rust on it like ours, ts far from a rust bucket
and most of what all it needs are basic panel patches and repairs.
None of the serious areas like the frame etc look beat up by rust.
OK has rust, ut not like some cities.

of surprises are hidden under new paint or thick undercoating.

Half way down the description youll see the line

"This car is 90% rust free Arizona car"
Please IGNORE THAT LINE, t was from a previous auction we didlast month and we forgot to take that line out for this car.
Obviously this is not an AZ ca, ut it did come from Oklahoma
where it was for many yrs. thanks
Original keys come with the car and yes both windows roll
up and down okay too. Its too bad its not a hatch style car.
