Description

The 1970 Opel GT 1900, often affectionately called the "Baby Corvette" and designed by Clare McKichan, is a compact sports car from an era characterized by sleek and aerodynamic car design. With its unit-body construction and rear-wheel drive, powered by a robust 4-cylinder inline engine, this car offers a driving experience every car enthusiast dreams of. 

This particular Opel GT, finished in a stunning Fireglow Orange over a black vinyl interior, is in an exceptional state of originality and preservation. What makes this Opel GT 1900 extra special is its history. This example has had only one owner and has always driven around in sunny and dry California. This is evidenced by the desirable 'Blue Plate' American license plate. The odometer shows a mileage of 3,459 miles, and while we cannot guarantee this, it is very likely the original mileage. Take a look at the photos of this Opel to see how beautiful and authentic this example is. The car has been repainted for cosmetic reasons, very thin and carefully, so the original factory paint is still present on the inside of the panels such as the A-pillar and B-pillar. This preserves the car's authentic character completely. The body of this Opel GT is in very good condition, with all original details contributing to the car's charm and beauty. The sleek lines and immaculate exterior make this example a sight to behold. The chrome parts shine beautifully, and the windows are in perfect condition. 

The interior is truly stunning, with beautiful upholstery and carpets in excellent condition. The original radio and instruments are in superb condition and function as they should. The underside of the car is just as beautiful, take a look at the photos for an impression. Under the hood is a 102 hp four-cylinder engine, which runs smoothly and powerfully. The engine responds quickly to the throttle and performs well while driving. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly and effortlessly, contributing to a comfortable driving experience. The handling of this "Baby Corvette" is impressive, making every ride a pleasure, whether through winding mountain roads or country lanes. 

This Opel GT comes with all original booklets, further emphasizing the car's authenticity. The fact that this car is in unrestored condition makes it one of the best original examples still in existence. In short, this 1970 Opel GT 1900 is a timeless classic that will appeal to both collectors and sports car enthusiasts. It is a vehicle that not only represents a piece of automotive history, but is also ready to offer many more years of driving pleasure.
