Opel Rekord Sprint
(1967 - 1971)
Car articles about Opel Rekord Sprint by year
For the 1967 model year, the Opel Rekord became bigger, more beautiful - and more expensive. Although the equipment and chassis had been refined accordingly, the popular mid-range car was still one price class higher than before. This test report from November 1966 discusses whether it had what it took to be a sales success, even at a base price of 7590 marks.
In the 1960s, Opel was not officially allowed to actively participate in motor racing due to a US regulation. However, this did not prevent some enterprising people at Opel from building a racing car based on the Rekord C. However, when the company managers found out, the car had to be disposed of. And disappeared forever. But a few years ago, the "Black Widow", as the car was called, was rebuilt. And has been on display at classic car events ever since. This report describes what it feels like to take a ride in the 180 hp Rekord and shows the car in many pictures.
With the Opel Rekord C, the German General Motors subsidiary launched a new generation of the already successful upper mid-range model series in 1966. Some improvements were made and, above all, the focus was on a modern design that combined American lines with European vehicle dimensions. And it was well received. Almost 1.3 million Rekord Cs were built in just over half a decade, as a saloon, coupé or estate, with two, four or five doors, with various engines and power transmissions. One of these Rekord saloons with a 1.9-liter engine is described and illustrated in this vehicle article, which is supplemented with plenty of historical images, test references and a sound sample.
