United States, small cars from its European arm, Opel, that were
sold in Buick dealerships. MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to
present this seldom seen 1973 Opel 1900 Sports Wagon. It is an
unrestored, two-owner car that was made in Antwerp, Belgium.This
out standing example is beeing sold on a California Actual Mileage
Title. Finished in Sunset Copper, the wagon's paint and trim are in
overall great condition, with a few minor blemishes visible upon
close inspection. The wagon's windows, including the flip-open side
panes, are clear and intact while the lights are haze-free and
intact. This wagon's bodywork is straight and solid, the
chrome-bladed bumpers fit tightly to the body and look fantastic.
Under the hood is Opel's 1.9L four-cylinder engine, which is mated
to a three-speed automatic transmission. This wagon rolls on
factory rally wheels surrounded by radials, size 175/70R13 at all
four corners. Driver convenience features include air-conditioning,
how ever belt is off compressor . Inside, the car's copper interior
is in overall very good order. The vinyl front buckets and rear
bench seats look great, as does the contrasting black carpet. The
white headliner is in satisfactory order, as is the factory
two-spoke steering wheel, horn is inop. The black instrument panel
and copper-colored inner door liners are also in decent condition.
The center console looks great while the shifter is in good order.
In back, the cargo area behind the rear seat is in very good order.
Completing the interior is a factory AM radio. From 1971-75, the
1.9-liter Opel Ascona A was exported to the United States as the
"Opel 1900" sold through Buick-Opel dealerships. All three body
styles were offered at first, but the four-door sedan was dropped
after 1973. The Ascona was developed as a replacement to the Kadett
but late in the car's development Opel chose to instead develop a
new, smaller Kadett and instead positioned the Ascona as a
competitor to the successful Ford�mid-sized�Taunus�range. The Opel
Ascona A stayed in production until 1975. By that time, almost
692,000 vehicles of the first series had been produced. The range
featured gas engines from 1.2 to 1.9L. The 1.2L had an�overhead
valve head, while the 1.6L and 1.9L featured the�Opel Cam-in-head
engine�(CIH). The CIH was a compromise effort, with the camshaft
mounted next to the valves rather than above them. All used a
single barrel�carburetor. Competition to this Opel wagon in 1973
included Chevrolet's Vega, Datsun's B210, Dodge's Colt, Ford's
Pinto, Honda's Civic, Mazda's Savanna/808, Mercury's Bobcat,
Pontiac's Astre and Toyota's Corolla. If you are looking for a cute
