GarageScout Take
9S two-door body, factory Gold Metallic, and floor-shift four-speed give this Rekord a specific period configuration, with the Weber conversion and Opel-sourced GT and Manta components documenting its present mechanical setup.
Strengths
- Austrian-market example with long-term Canadian ownership and a decade with the current seller.
- The factory color is documented as Gold Metallic (404), with period black graphics and Austria-related emblems.
- The engine has a Weber 32/36 DGEV carburetor and Opel-sourced intake and valve-cover components.
- Minnesota title issued in the seller’s name.
Watch For
- Evidence of a repaint under prior ownership, with dings and dents noted.
- Signs of corrosion are present, and the seller recommends replacing the exhaust system.
- Total mileage is unknown. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 31,000 km, while the Minnesota title lists the odometer as “Not Required.”
- The clock does not work, the dashboard lighting is dim, and the headliner has a perimeter stain attributed to factory adhesive.
