1971 OPEL GT1.9L 4cy I am forced to sell one of my Opel GTs. This car has no holes in the floorboardsRockers are in great shape.Only 3 owner vehicleI bought this car from the daughter of the original owner. Stored in a garage for 17 years!!Has a special interest registration. New brakesNew combo camshaftNew liftersValves lappedPertronix ignitionWeber 32/36New tires (less than 200 miles on them)Runs and drives fineMay need a carb adjustmentOlder Blaupunkt stereo. (It produces sound but the speakers are horrible)Headlights rotate perfectly The bad.It has smoke/exhaust coming from the exhaust area in the engine compartment. I suspect that it's the gasket between the intake manifold and exhaust manifold. It makes it hard to drive because the fumes come in the passenger compartment. There's a small oil leak at the front of the valve cover. The body work that had been done in the past will need redone. I have pictures of the damage. The dash is cracked. One large crack in the middle and a few smaller ones. The belly pan appears to be salvageable. There are smaller, parking lot, dents in a few locations. Three small rust bubbles on the driver rear rocker. Wipers don't currently work. May be the fuse. Windshield has a small buffable scratch from the passenger wiper. I have provided as many pictures as the website would allow. If you would like additional pictures, please let me know. Youtube video of the exhaust at idle. It sounds better in person, of course.https://youtu.be/pc_koJG38Zg On Sep-15-17 at 10:56:35 PDT, seller added the following information: UPDATE! It was determined that the Smoke/Exhaust coming from the engine compartment was mostly due to a valve cover gasket leak.There was oil leaking onto the exhaust manifold. With a light tightening of the bolts, the valve cover leaks seem to have been stopped. There does appear to be blow-by escaping from the air filter. It appears that blow-by is not being pulled into the carburetor properly. This could be a configuration issue or excessive blow-by. The gasket between the intake and exhaust manifolds appears to be intact and causing no issues at all and, therefore, should be disregarded in the original description.

The final payment must be made with cash on site or wire transfer from bank to bank. Cashiers checks, of any kind, will not be acceptable. I will not release the car unless money has been properly transferred. Unfortunately there are too many scams out there and these are the protections recommended by PayPal and Ebay. Seller will not arrange shipping but will be available during vehicle pick up.
