Introduction

With minor exceptions little or no parts for old Opel cars are available from official GM/Opel distributors unless the particular dealer also specializes in classic car parts.

As far as I know GM/Opel has a general policy not to maintain a stock of parts for cars older than 10 years.

So many GM/Opel dealers will probably look at you as if you come from the planet Mars if you ask for parts for an older car. But some dealers may maintain so called interim lists of parts cleared from stock but still available. Ask and you may find.

An advice is to contact a Opel club in your country. They have contacts with people who are able to find parts and many members are typically experts on various models and might carry own stocks of parts for their model or have knowledge of where to locate parts.

Typically the sources for parts are :

• Parts markets/fairs (See 'MARKT' for ads)
  Spare parts markets are arranged regularily in most countries (preferrably northern and western Europe if you are looking for Opel parts), where car enthusiasts meet and sell/buy parts.
• Classic car parts dealers
  A number of German companies has specialized in researching stocks of old car parts which they sell on to car enthusiasts. Some remanufacture sheet metal repair parts.
• Parts cars
  You may look around to find cars which are in too bad a condition to be a subject of a restoration but which can be bought to serve as a source of parts for the car you are driving/restoring. Even if a parts car may be incomplete or have much rust damage in the chassis/body, many parts may still be in good condition.
• All of us = The OPEL Contact Network !
  This is a WWW service part of our OPEL Classic Automobiles pages.
  Here you can leave messages and read messages from other OPEL
  enthusiasts. This works as a global contact network for people interested in classic OPEL vehicles, events, maintenance and parts, open 24 hours a day.

  Tips for buying parts

  It is always valuable for you to own a copy of the original spare parts catalogue for your car if you need to inquire about the availability of parts/price. If you can quote the part numbers it is much easier for the dealer to search for a part, the larger dealers often have a computerized stock. Quoting a part number reduces the possibility of misunderstanding what you really want.

  Prices vary between dealers, also the quality of the parts in stock and the quality of customer responsiveness and attitude. Some may quote a part as new although it might be affected by corrosion or other ageing, it has happened to me more than once. You and the dealer can have different opinions about the acceptable condition of what can be called a new part for a 30 year old vehicle.
  Best is of course if you can shop directly at the location so you see what you get.
  Remember to inquire about the condition of a part if this is especially important to you. Once you have accepted delivery of a heavy piece of sheet metal across the globe it may prove to be bad economy to return a rusty dented part. You may instead have to spend numerous hours restoring it to useable condition, so take care, and check with more than one dealer in case many can deliver the same part. Also, it is typically not a good deal to split up an order of parts between many dealers just because one happens to sell some parts a few marks cheaper, because then you will get multiple freight costs. Usually it is a good idea to shop around to get a picture of the price level of parts, but the dealer offering the lowest price is not always delivering the most top condition part, so again, remember to ask questions about the condition of offered parts.

  If you live outside Germany and buy from a German company, a practice which works well is to inquire by fax. You send a fax with a list of the parts you are looking for, the dealer checks if he can deliver the parts, a custom is that they adds notes about availability and price directly on your original fax and then fax it back to you. The advantages are :

• Allows the dealer to serve the request when they have time.
• Makes up for differences in language. Typically you can always inquire in english and get a response.
• You get a written statement about prices/availability.
• Reduces phone bills, instead of trying to communicate and get service in realtime, both parties can take the time they need, the phone is used/charged only during fax transmission.
