GM never sold this car in North America.
The Vectra was a mid-sized car, first sold in 1988. Besides being sold as an Opel, it was also sold as a Holden (in New Zealand, but not Australia), a Vauxhall (in Great Britain) and with a Chevrolet badge in Brazil.
This is a legal car in Canada, where the laws allow private imports of cars 15 years old or older. If you want to do everything by the book in the US, however, you'll have to wait another 4 years.

A big thanks to Colin for sending me the link to this car!

As I mentioned in a post earlier in the week, Peugeot never seemed to figure out how to market their cars in North America.
Everywhere except North America, the 504 sold very, very well. It was produced in China - in pickup truck form - until 2009.
This is a diesel 504. It's an old-school diesel. It's not very quick, but very durable.
This car is in good, but not perfect shape. It has some rust and a few minor dings. It comes with a bunch of spare parts.

This 1972, pre-big bumper, Spyder has just 58,000 miles on it. The seller says it "runs strong" and has a "solid body."
The asking price is $3200.00, which is reasonable these days, if it's all the seller says it is.

Ludwig Kraus, an engineer who came to VW in the Auto Union deal, worked in secret to develop the 100. The powers that be at VW only found out about the project when they were presented with a production ready prototype.
VW, to their credit, gave the car the green light. Sales of the 100 started in 1969. It was successful. Based on that success, VW started to more effort into front engined / FWD cars and eventually phased out their air-cooled rear engined cars.
The 100LS was not the most reliable car in the world. Not many exist today.
This is a rare 2 door sedan. The seller says that except for consumables, it is all original. If you're an Audi fan, this would be a great car to restore - it wouldn't take much - and bring to shows.
