Opel GT listings19 for sale now
The Opel GT, often called the "baby Corvette," brought exotic European styling to the masses. Built from 1968 to 1973, it used the reliable mechanicals of the Opel Kadett B. Most examples came with the 1.9L CIH 4-cylinder engine. The car's most memorable feature is its manually operated pop-up headlights, which rotate sideways into place using a large lever next to the shifter.
Collectors are drawn to the GT for its stunning looks and affordable price point. It offers a visual impact that far exceeds its market value, resembling a concept car that made it to production. With over 100,000 units built, a strong enthusiast community and parts availability make ownership relatively straightforward for a vintage European car.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the GT's main weakness. Carefully inspect the floors, rocker panels, front fenders, and battery tray area.
- Test the unique roll-over headlights. The manual lever and cable mechanism can seize or break, and repairs can be time-consuming.
- The 1.9L engine is durable, but a noisy valvetrain can indicate a worn camshaft, which is a common issue.
- Dashboards are known to crack badly from sun exposure. Finding a perfect, uncracked original is rare and expensive.
