Thanks for stopping by to take a look at one very cool 1974 Opel Manta.  This southern California car has been a local favorite for many years.  Let’s check it out!

Rarity

Here in the US, Ford and Chevrolet did horsepower battles on the drag strip with Mustangs  Camaros and Mopars.  Europeans hit the road courses with Ford Capri’s and GM’s Opel MAnta facing off in racing and in sales.  GM brought the Opels to the US through Buick dealers.  These hot little German cars alongside Roadmasters weren’t the best mix.  Sales were never fantastic in the US and known for rust issues, few cars have survived.  This California car escaped the tinworm and stayed dry in our arid climate.
