mein fahrschul wagen schade zu der zeit dachte hier keiner an V 8

[@enorway89]

Hey! Do you have more videos of it? I’ve been searching on youtube earlier, there are no other’s. 😁

[@thomaslinden.2507]

No, this is the only video. I could make another next summer if there is demand for it. Now in the Swedish winter it is stored in my garage.

[@thomaslinden.2507]

Now there is a new video on this car. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fIu9aXRjbtGdg68

Très belle voiture

[@therclovers7778]

War are those good opel's today??

[@guidoguillet7766]

No wonder it looks like a old Flathead from Ford. Sima Vedette was the follower of French Ford Vedette The engine style is from the 1930ies . No wonder performance increase is only marginal. The Sima Aquilon with 2351 ccm had just 85 HP BUT sound is great - and you can still do some tuning 😊

[@ferrochinabisleri1587]

What engine did you put in, a Ford flathead V8?

[@thomaslinden.2507]

2300 ccm V8 from Simca Vedette.

[@coupe662]

Riktigt fränt!!

[@kensnyder9372]

I love it , a GM built car in Germany with a FLAT HEAD FORD engine in it , with 48 Ford heads or it might be the Ford 60 engine .........lol lol lol

[@thomaslinden.2507]

Simca Vedette 1957 engine. A development of the Ford V8-60.

Reckord C It' s a Chevrolet Opala - Brazil 1968/1992

[@turbomega]

Har ni modifiserat styrningen for at få plats til motoren?

[@thomaslinden.2507]

No, but engine oil pan was modified to make room for front crossmember. Steering is all original but front crossmember is replaced with a shortened one from a 1970 Opel Rekord to get disc brakes.

[@cabrerafreightsolutions4916]

What types of engine is that

[@thomaslinden.2507]

2,3 liter sidevalve V8 from a Simca Vedette 1955.

[@alessandropalumbo9474]

@@thomaslinden.2507 ah... bene! Quindi derivazione Ford ex filiazione Francese....sostituito motore e cambio ovviamente.... comunque bellissima Olympia-Rekord P1....il primo modello dalla linea più pulita anche se preferisco la P2. Complimenti un saluto W le grandi Opel auto perfette!

[@BubbaSnipe]

Lindén: the engine is originally a Ford flathead from the thirties, they ended up in France because Ford had some ventures there and because old man Ford had a thing or two against six cylinder engines. Yours is most likely a 2.5 liter version.

[@generalwamsler1552]

Schönes Auto, toller Sound! Aber was ist, wenn die Klima-Gretel davon erfährt?

[@rappers5719]

1700cc V8? The speedo reads 140kph. (87.5 mph).

[@thomaslinden.2507]

The engine is 2300cc from a Simca Vedette 1957.

Безолаберное видео..

[@schorsex3562]

Das Radio passt da nicht rein, seiner Zeit waren da nur Röhrenradios verbaut mit mächtigen Zerhacker. Machte aber nichts, denn unter dem Armaturenbrett war Platz ohne Ende.

[@thomaslinden.2507]

When I bought the car in 1978 it was 18 years old and I modified it for daily use. It has extra soundproofing, thicker floor mats, modified 12 volt electrical system, disc brakes, V8 engine, heavy duty rear springs and many more improvements including a compact disc player with 4 built in speakers. That is how we modified older cars then so they would be equal to newer cars in use. I have the 6V radio from 1960 that came with the car. Shall I put it back? Shall I convert the car back to 6V and drum brakes? Shall I reinstall the 4 cylinder engine?

[@andreashauffe1787]

Nice work! Bat please remove the Radio from the 80s.

@@thomaslinden.2507 Alle gemachten Umbauten machen auch Sinn. Doch das originale Radio hätte ich eben aus Gründen der Optik drin gelassen und die moderne Anlage unauffällig im Handschuhfach eingebaut.

[@thomaslinden.2507]

@@andreashauffe1787 The radio is not modern, it is from 1979 and not good with todays standards but it is part of the cars history. Everything on the car has a purpose, to make it a good car for commuting 180 km a day 5 days a week. It is not a restored car, it is modified to use daily 20 years after it was new.

Is it any more things you want to complain about? How about the color? The tires? The seats? I am very excited to hear all of your complains.

Is niet origineel !! ZONDE !!😢
