Beautiful. I had a yellow one with black bonnet, back in 1989...Man, i would love to own another one. I'd never, ever sell it.

Grew up with a red 74 Manta A, and family owned it long enough for me to drive it. Great 'box, but a steering wheel that gave you a forearm exercise everytime you drive it...had a smaller carb fitted to reduce consumption.

Wonderful car, almost exactly how I want my Manta to look after the restoration is finished. More videos please!

I really miss my 1973 Opel Manta. I had it in the early 1980's, but wrecked it and had to let the salvage yard have it for lack of funds... (heavy sigh) It had a lot of rust in the floor boards, but the drive train was in good shape except the cooling system needed to be flushed and a new radiator installed when it was wrecked. The best tracking car I have ever driven and it got over 30 mpg. Too bad I didn't have the money back then to save it. It is still my favorite car that I have ever owned.

Oh, and I forgot to say that I did a LOT of dirt road racing with it. Won most of the time! Dirt drifting is fun!

My dad had a Manta A back in the early 80's with a 1.9L engine taken from an Opel Rekord. Unfortunately she was written off after someone had driven into her rear. Don't think he ever got over it.
