The fall of the year 1959 saw Opel Kapitan roll off its production line for the first time in Russelsheim. The Opel Kapitan was internally known as Opel Kapitan P2 2.6 ltr and courtesy its unique design, state-of-art technology and high comfort level, it became a big hit in a very short span of time, a best seller to be precise. By the year 1964, it had already sold 145,616 units and this made it the highest selling P2 2.6 ltr Opel Kapitan ever.
The two-seat Opel GT is a beautiful sports car that was first unveiled as a styling exercise at the Paris and Frankfurt motor shows in 1965. The car was introduced by Opel in 1968 as a production model.
The style of the car is similar to the 1968 Chevrolet Corvette. The 1.1L straight-4 engine of the car produced 67hp. However, the optional 1.9L Cam-In-Head engine became more popular among the car lovers. The initial models had higher compression cylinder head with “H” code.
