I have great memories of an old Opel we had decades ago. My bil put a racing motor in it and I had so much fun with it. I learned to drive a straight shift on Memorial Parkway. Guys would come in the other lane and I would leave them in the dust. Of course, I was a lot younger back then. I miss it. : )

My Step-dad had an Opel GT, red of course. The One that resembled a small Corvette. It was really fun to drive......................

Back in the late 60s, Opels were sold in the US by Buick dealers. The 1.1 liter Kadett sedan was quicker than the big ass V-8s Buick was selling in that day.

I recall there were a couple of after market suppliers of hop-up parts for the Kadett. A buddy owned one of these “full race” Kadetts in Iowa City. It would turn 7,000 rpm and make a sound like a hoard of killer bees.
