Opel Commodore Fully restored, stunning condition, manual transmi 1969
General description :
The Opel Commodore A Coupé is quite scarce these days. The model was unloved for a long time and simply not worth the cost of a restoration. Fortunately there are people who ignore that sentiment and go ahead and restore an Opel Commodore perfectly. This car was supplied when new on the 8th April 1969 in Sweden. The car reached us via Germany and is exceptional condition. This Commodore has been restored in a way not often seen with this kind of car. The overall effect is totally correct. An extensive photographic album following all of the restoration was kept. Only new parts were used during the process as the accompanying invoices show. In total € 14,500 in parts was spent on the car. The final result is a true feast to behold. The bodywork looks great. The panelwork is nice and thin and correctly aligned. All the brightwork has been replaced with gleaming new ones. The roof has new black vinyl covering and the black bonnet striping has been reapplied. Before the complete new reupholstering took place, sound proofing material was installed, making the cabin a more pleasant place to be in. Only then were the blacks carpets and black vinyl upholstery fitted. The car stands on its original wheels that have been newly shod with correctly sized tyres. The car also has two spotlights and an Abarth exhaust system. The Commodore Coupé has a straight-six 2.5 litre engine producing 115 Ps and is coupled to the preferred manual 4-speed gearbox. During the restoration the engine, gearbox, suspension and brakes were all overhauled using new parts. The restoration was completed in 2017 when since then the car has been used sparingly. The is as good as new. In short this is a very rare 1969 Opel Commodore A Coupé with a fantastic finish and in brilliant condition. Above all, one thing is sure; for this price you could not restore a Commodore yourself as beautifully. Gallery Aaldering is Europe’s leading Classic Cars specialist since 1975!

About Opel
Ah, Opel! The German automaker with a history as rich as a Black Forest gateau. Let's take a leisurely drive through the annals of automotive history, shall we?Opel's story begins in the 19th century when Adam Opel started crafting sewing machines. Yes, you heard me right, sewing machines! But Adam had bigger dreams – he envisioned a future with horseless carriages, just like the crazy inventors of his time. And so, in 1899, Opel produced their first automobile, the Opel-Patent-Motorwagen System Lutzmann. Catchy name, isn't it?
Now, if we're talking classic Opel models, we can't skip over the Opel 4 PS, affectionately known as the "Doktorwagen." It was the car that put Opel on the map, a tiny two-seater that was as simple and sturdy as a Bavarian beer stein. But the real charm was its affordability. Doctors and professionals loved it, hence the name, and it became the people's car before Volkswagen even existed.
Fast forward to the 1930s, and Opel was cranking out the Olympia. It was sleek, streamlined, and had a small but efficient 1.3-liter engine. Think of it as the German answer to the Ford Model T – a car for the masses.
But if we want to talk about a truly remarkable classic, let's talk Kadett. The Opel Kadett was a workhorse. It soldiered on through the tumultuous years of World War II, and post-war, it was like Germany's own phoenix rising from the ashes. The Kadett helped Opel regain its footing in the automotive world.
Then came the '60s and '70s, and with them, the legendary Opel GT. Some say it was a baby Corvette in a tuxedo, and they weren't entirely wrong. With its unmistakable "Coke bottle" shape and pop-up headlights, the Opel GT was pure style. It wasn't the fastest, but it had more charisma than a disco-era John Travolta.
But what about performance, you ask? Well, Opel didn't disappoint. In the late '80s, they gave us the Opel Kadett GSi 16V. It was a pocket rocket, a hot hatch with a 150-horsepower 2.0-liter engine. It could go from zero to autobahn in no time.
And finally, we can't talk about Opel's classic models without mentioning the Manta. The Opel Manta was the epitome of '70s cool. It had those iconic wraparound bumpers, the sporty silhouette, and a catchy marketing slogan – "The car you always promised yourself." It was the car that whispered sweet nothings about freedom and open roads.
So there you have it, a brisk but exhilarating journey through Opel's history, with a handful of classic models that could make any car enthusiast's heart race. Opel may not be as flashy as some of its German counterparts, but it has a charm all its own, like a well-aged riesling in the world of automotive wines. Cheers to Opel!
