I'm so grateful to see this video! You had bought this off my cousin Audrey. This is a piece of my history that means a lot to me. I remember seeing this car and another red opal. my uncle's where my mentor, I miss them very much. take care of this gem
I’m so happy to see her running ❤ Thank you Rachel for give her a good home and a chance for me to see her run again . I hope she brings you lots of smiles .
You hit the jack pot girl..I loved them cars..and your supply of parts is like the ultimate project without the headache of sourcing parts that I'm sure are in very limited quantity and quality....I envy your situation....make me proud and do it right
Pretty bad ass! The look, style, bodylines, etc on vehicles from back then is just something I love - plus things were actually made of metal & didn't break like today's cars. lol
Hi there, this is a no name color from a hardware store 40+ years ago. The owner had his little girl pick her favorite color off the shelf, then he painted it for her. She inherited the car 20 years ago. The original color is GT Metallic Green, which I’d love to bring it back to someday.
Not at all! It’s still here, still plugging along. This was just too good a deal to pass up and way closer to being on the road than Cora. Her plan is to get the Opel on the road to drive while she’s working on Cora.
The only thing with the Opel GT that always turned me away from them? Not a lot of easy interchange & upgrades that I've ever seen, not to mention parts availability. A friend went to school in Evansville, IN and his roommate's dad was an owner of an Indy race shop. He had one and it had a turbocharged Quad-4, brakes were off a 1LE Camaro I believe, suspension was done up "In house" and it was very bad-ass....but when dad owns a shop that builds Indy race cars, eh, it's easy-peasy & affordable.
If it will it run, is not the important question here. There is an abundance of engines around for that car, so that is not the question. The question is more: is it salvagable due to rust?

Title had me thinking this was a Vice Grip Garage upload for a hot minute.
Happy for Rachel. What a gorgeous car!
Love your enthusiasm. Great score.
I had a 73 GT, I loved that car.
I used to have a Opel GT 1900 ,1969 from 1974 to 1984!! Loved that car and miss it!!
Wow! Looks to be solid and I love the color! Neat find, guys!✌️
Nice little car, and good to hear it run .
So happy for her! What a color too! 🎉
My neighbor had 2 or three of these. Kool score and have fun making it go again.,
Cool car. Rachel is a trip.
So fun. A 1970 was my first car in 1979. The wiper fluid delivery is cool with the foot pump.
Holy shit what a find! Tons of parts you guys will be busy.
Opel GT, was the poor man Corvette from the 70's. The one piece transmission might be a 5- speed, from a later or different Opel model. 🤔

You two are a great couple! Some couples can't work together.

Hi. I am dismantling the drivetrain of my 1971 GT. All of it is getting replaced. I am Seacoast NH. Mine has a really interesting story.
Haha, watching more of the vid, you may not need anything!
Love this!
AH so the random garden hose WAS in fact factory. Mine had a green hose. And it came loose while driving to prom. No wonder I got nauseous that night.
Love this car so rare , make her put in the hours 😂
At 13:38 he's being an excellent minion - asking for direction. 😉
So, what happend to Cora the 59 Beetle? Has Rachel abandoned that project? Anyway, the Opel GT also is a very nice car. Good luck with it! 🤘
Not at all! It’s still here, still plugging along. This was just too good a deal to pass up and way closer to being on the road than Cora. Her plan is to get the Opel on the road to drive while she’s working on Cora.
Wicked Minion....has a nice ring to it.
Sweet!
I have never seen someone Mystery oiling the whole engine but it seemed to work. HA!
thats a beaut. Taylor who?:P Nice score. Is the new channel name Rachel Werks?
I support this 😂
Cylinder head is from 1971.

It is indeed more than salvageable. Very little rust, and we’ve seen it all.
The headlight cha Ching is called an actuator. In other words you couldn’t make the actuator work.
Dunno man. Says it’s called a cha-ching in the manual.
This channels IQ and overall appearance just skyrocketed. LOL. Just kidding...well kind of.
I wanna come chill with yall
The only car I think looks sexier than a Ghia.
I remember these cars back in the day. They were cool but not a vette.
That’s why they were cool, because they weren’t a Vette 😂
Count the ums And adjust from there.
2.something works better than 1900 cc. Mine 2.5 liter turbo ford +5 speed tremic tko.
um um um um um um um um
um... um.... umm... um...
mmo is just atf
I love opal GTs and this is my first video I've watched on this channel. This woman is jusr too annoying to listen to to continue.
Go sit on a pinecone, we don’t want you here anyway.
Piss off. She's Queen of the known Universe.
Get fucked mate. Don’t let the door hit you where the good lord split ya.
Plenty more videos for you to go annoy.
Although I’m sure your videos are much better than the ones here 😂
Oooo shut up keep it to ur fkn self
