combine an Opel Kapitän 1954 with a chevrolet Malibu ... Made in Austria... parts of the video in low qualitiy ... sorry... Song by the Hi-Jivers - Hotwire woman
And congratulations to him for keeping stock looking and also for keeping the column gear shift and stock steering wheel. The car looks like it was originally built this way, not like a hot rod.
I have had two Opel Kapitan's, in the military in Germany I had a 1960 model Kapitan, and in the UK I had a 1959 version right hand drive, both great cars. The '59 model was a better shape than the '60 model. The only thing I did to both of them was to fit two six volt batteries in tandem.
here you can see very well to which family the thing belongs. its brothers chevrolet, oldsmobile, pontiac, buick and cadillac are exactly matching ! with wheels that visually go more into the original would underline that ! very nice work ! the smallblock v8 fits as if it had always belonged to it !
The side window treatment is GM hardtops of 49 Cad, Buick, and Olds 98, and 50 - 52 Pontiac, small Olds, and Chevrolet hardtops, windshield is 50 - 53 Cad, Buick, Olds, and 53 - 54 Chevy and Pontiac. Back window looks much like that of the early 50s full-size French cars.
Hi good aftrnoon what kind of car,,, congrautlations its incredible V8 Opel,,, great video and good music,,, Bravo,,,, Bravo,,, your friend Oscar de Pachuca HGo Estados Unidos Mexicanos,,,
great-looking car! my folks lived in Germany in the 1950s, and though they owned a vw, my dad always spoke highly of the Opel kapitan.... this is the fist time I've seen one, and finally understand my dad's enthusiasm
Not OEM but still recognizable as an Opel, V8 conversion made it sound great and faster, double exhaust pipe looks cool, a very nice whip 😊👍❤️💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My grandad had the model before this one. It was in a garage. With a cover on it too. We children were not allowed to stand too close. We could spit on it. He really cared about it.
Tolles Auto mehr 50er Jahre geht nicht es läuft einem kalt über den Rücken wenn ich denke was dieses wunder schöne Auto für einen wert hat leider nicht zu finanzieren ❤️👍
Ultra geil! Ein Autenrieth Kapitän Coupé ist ja schon sensationell, aber dann noch ein unauffälliger und geschmackvoller V8 Umbau . . . Ich bin fassungslos! Welcher Motor steckt drin, 283, 327 oder 350? Bitte VIEL mehr von diesem Auto posten!
Schöner Umbau . Ich dachte in Östi ist das mit den Oldtimern noch strenger als bei uns in Deutschland ? Bei uns in Deutschland ist das jetzt nicht mehr möglich, bevor man das H-kennz. bekommt muss der eigentliche Umbau wieder 10Jahre alt sein....EGAL ob das Fahrzeug 30---40 oder 50 Jahre alt ist.
Du bist sehr geizig mit Infos. Schönes Auto, aber viele Fragen offen: was für ein V8? 5.0, 5.7 PS? 3Gang Aut.? Umbau Autenrieth oder selbst gemacht? Probleme bei der Zulassung? Gibt es einen Bericht in einer Autozeitschrift mit mehr Infos?
Opel was a great German car maker in the 20s and 30s but since GM bought them, Opel cars did not sell well, eventually GM sold Opel to Peugeot/PSA group, new Opels are now rebadged Peugeots sooo sad 😭😭😭
JAAA ich zeige euch mein V8 Kapitän! JAA, anstelle von Motorensound lege ich nervige Musik drunter! Keiner, wirklich keiner will bei einem V8 Musik hören. 🤷🏼♂️ Grüße Jörg
Never seen an Opel Kapitän Coupé before. Great car in a super shape!!
Neat styling on that Opel. The type of engine is'nt mentioned, but it looks like the ubiquitous small'block Chevy. Definitely a unique car !
And congratulations to him for keeping stock looking and also for keeping the column gear shift and stock steering wheel. The car looks like it was originally built this way, not like a hot rod.
Ich habe die Enstehungsgeschichte dieses wunderschönen Autos gelesen und kann nur den Hut vor solchem Können ziehen.
Such an nice car, like a smaller American car from that time. My grandpa owned a 1959, bought it brand new.
German Chev.

My dad had Opel Kapitan 1956 model. I have driven it too
It is in a finnish carmuseum now.

Opel. Always ahead of it's time !

Had me fooled for a minute - must be way nicer to drive that a stock 4 cylinder example. Well done.
My grandad had the model before this one. It was in a garage. With a cover on it too. We children were not allowed to stand too close. We could spit on it. He really cared about it.
Wunderschönes Auto und traurig was Opel heute ist......!Die habens wirklich verkackt..... 😕
Lovely car! Nice Sound! Too bad that music playing! 😢
Awesome Rock and Roll song a perfect match for the Opel Kapitan 😊👍❤️💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My favorite Opel is the laubfrosch 😊👍❤️💯🔥🔥🔥
Dis Carr ❤️ Ist Perfekt 🎱🌹😎
Tolles Auto mehr 50er Jahre geht nicht es läuft einem kalt über den Rücken wenn ich denke was dieses wunder schöne Auto für einen wert hat leider nicht zu finanzieren ❤️👍
Nice car and nice music. Both were totally unfamiliar to me. Thank you for showing them.
Schau her, der Motorraum trotz V8 übersichtlich und aufgeräumt. Es geht auch so.
Custombuilt twodoor coupe´. Or is built in a bodyworkshop back in the 50´s? This is absolutly Amazing
Orginal
Non e' bella, e' praticamente stupenda!! Meravigliosa!! Quanto mi piacerebbe averne una.

@@guidoguillet7766 Danke, Guido!
Very nice car for sure.

Very rare and special car! 👍👍
Wow never saw a 2 door coupe,
Nice machine.👍

I was born in a Opel Karavan 😄
Reminds me of American cars of the same era. Great outcome of German engineering."
Wunderschön
QUE AUTO PAPÁ!!!!
Erg mooi
eine frage bitte :
welcher adapter ist das der ein altes lenkrad auf einer gm tilt lenksäule fixiert ?
Really cool, nice work!!!
I know that beginning
The song and from another video
You might know the one I speak of😆
I thought that was a Chevy V8! Is it backed by a Powerglide or Turbo Hydramatic? Car kinda looks like a 52 Ford crossed with a same period Oldsmobile.
Sind die Radkappen noch nicht fertig oder ist die Kohle ausgegangen? ;-)
Wow, what a little beauty! This is like an R. Crumb comix car. Were any exported to the U.S.A.?
Gefällt mir!
Is this a "restomod"?
👍👌👏
Good old opel
cool , ich dachte sowas gäb es nur in finnland ; )
Chevrolet 4,6ltr V8? Den hatte ich in meinem Admiral A.
Looks like a Chevy 302" V8 I had one enginee in ny early boats 225 HP. Four port Rochester carbutator.
Now i know opel's design philosophy heritage...
Is it probably the only german brand with american styling influence...
Song name? :)
It''s in the description, the Hi-Jivers Hot Wire Woman.
Where's the original engine ?
Great...but the dashboard is a catatrophe !!!
I have a dream 😅👍🏻

Vive les V8 !
Mein Opa hatte so Einen. Schwarz, 4-door...
JAAA ich zeige euch mein V8 Kapitän!

Keiner, wirklich keiner will bei einem V8 Musik hören. 🤷🏼♂️

VERY KKKKOOL!!!!!!
Chev v8?
Wozu die völlig schwachsinnige Zwangsbeschallung?
Теперь понятно с какого авто была скопирована Волга Газ-21.
my dream i would love to change oil from it
Kind of Hudson Hornet-ish
Bad music
look maw its an automobile
Ruined it with the music.
ВКРАЛИ В АМЕРИКАНЦІВ .І ОСЬ ТОБІ ВОЛГА
A most interesting car, a shame about the awful American 'music'.
💖 Woov!
