1974 Opel

Coupe

1900

Clear

Super nice running, driving, handling, stopping. Nicely maintained and upgraded and improved by me over the past 8 years. Some highlights: New rear glass with defroster (not hooked up), recored radiator, new rubber in front and rear glass, new Weber carb (old solex and air cleaner included), new carpet, period Recaros nicely recovered, and back seat and rear deck matched, (seats were mounted on original bracket after cutting and welding--fore and aft functions well, Pertronix inside distributor, period shaft style Pioneer supertuner III stereocassette--new in box, high power with RCA pre-outs, period amplifier equalizer, Pioneer TS-6 in the rear deck, and modern 4" in back side panels. Sounds good, but an antenna would improve radio signal (originally came to me without radio or hold in dash; replacement dash had holes, but I never wanted to cut a hole for the antenna--it's under the dash, and works fairly well). Starts, drives, stops, handles well. Hot start problems cured by starter bypass relay. Lots of trim and interior panels and pieces sourced over the years, and look great and are hard to find. All pictures taken yesterday, June 14, 2014. Shots from underneath show all the jack points. Driver front frame rail should be attended to, and I have a support bracket which bolts on, and should address the situation. Battery box not too bad, and holds the battery fine. Super clean body; no bondo or holes. Some bubbling behind and under rear wheels. Painted by Maaco a couple of years ago, and, well, it still looks very good. Hard to find Rallye model has tachometer, blacked out hood, rally gauges and other sporting features. Needs headliner installed--included. This is not a concourse show car, and it has not been restored. Interested bidders are free to inspect/test drive or call me to discuss. Zero or low feedback bidders must contact me before bidding or their bids may be cancelled. e28 M5 project forces reluctant sale; if you have a good set of wheels, I need them! Some parts included, some available to high bidder--willing to discuss.
