6: Opel GT
Perhaps one of the most unsung heroes of the 1970s, the Opel GT has the nickname ‘Baby Vette’ for a reason. The styling of the car was eerily similar to the Corvette, and this only exaggerated the fact that the performance was on-par. Take one look at the Open GT, and it’s almost like you are looking at a Corvette model from the same time period. The designers were very influenced by the design of the Corvette, and this poured over into the Opel GT (via Car Gurus).
The styling of the car coupled with the performance made it a great car. But the price was more than people were willing to pay for it. The fuel crisis of the 1970s also changed consumer tastes when it came to sports cars. But now the novelty of the design and performance has made the Opel GT a sought-after bargain.
