1965 Opel Kadett A Super 1.1
Summary:
Forgotten gem of a car
Faults:
The thing is, I got the car in not so good shape, and I have had to repaired a lot of things on it.
Thing repaired:
The brakes were broken altogether.
The engine was in rough shape, but somehow managed to run. The engine leaked oil, did not start time to time, had a loud clunking sound, the starter was near dead, and the battery was getting close to dying too. And a little bit of rust was on the engine.
But keep in mind, this car is from the year 1965! Everything that was wrong with it, I have fixed and it didn't cost me that much, about 1200 dollars, and now it runs like new.
General Comments:
This car is amazing! It's a tiny 2door car that runs like it has a rocket on it, and the body is 100% rust free. The 1100 cc motor spews out 48 hp, and that a lot for such a tiny car. It's a great car for young people like me to start on if you are into vintage cars, because this car is fool proof! The engine is so simple that a toddler could maintain it.
This is the most fun and funny car I have ever had.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

Why wouldn’t you change the oil...??? What was the purpose of that? It’s to deliberately destroy an engine.
