1971 Opel GT

The 1971 Opel GT is a classic European sports car known for its sleek design and spirited driving experience. A precursor to the more widely recognized sports coupes of the late 20th century, the Opel GT was often likened to a mini-Corvette due to its similar styling. This particular model has been given a new lease on life with a comprehensive, frame-off restoration that respects its heritage while infusing modern enhancements.

Behold the 1971 Opel GT, a testament to automotive artistry.
