This 1971 Opel GT (chassis 772350756) is a good-looking example of GM Europe’s stylish mini-Stingray. Made for just five years and based on the Kadett B, these are prone to rot and it’s not often that we see good ones anymore. This example is said to have 65k miles and no rust. Find it here on eBay in Carlsbad, California with no reserve and fast bidding. Special thanks to BaT reader P L. for this submission.

Nicely presented and photographed extensively, this car appears quite well-kept inside and out. Paint holds a good shine, and only minor imperfections are noted. The car sits over original steel wheels with trim rings, though with stock springs they always look to be sitting a bit high. All lighting including manually-operated pop-up headlights is said to work correctly.

Front seats, carpets and headliner have all been replaced, but the rear parcel shelf area appears to have been left alone. The seller mentions some A/C components are installed under the rear parcel shelf, but there is no compressor present. The dash shows several large cracks poking out from beneath the carpeted pad, but everything else appears to be in much better condition. Additionally, seat adjusters(fore, aft and tilt), window winders and door latch/lock assemblies all work smoothly.

This car’s 1.9 liter four has been converted to use a Weber carb, and in doing so lost the funky intake tube it was originally equipped with. The seller has been using the car as a delivery vehicle for their Motorcycle/ATV parts business and says that it’s proven very fun and reliable. Brakes have been redone front and rear and suspension components are said to be in good shape.

While not as practical as an MGB GT or as quick as a 240Z, these mini-Vettes are still plenty of fun and not nearly as obvious a choice as either of those two. This one looks like a big winner.
