NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I thought I was going to be unique...
It is almost unbelievable you bring this up now. I just contacted Shawn Mascoll last night about doing a rendering for a 1974 Opel Manta. I have a buddy from Poland who has been a fan of old school rally cars for a long time. We got to talking a couple nights ago about building a car together and after looking at some cars, I fell in love with the Manta (no idea why). I'm having a rendering done and it will be my next project whether I build it with my buddy or do it myself.
I've been looking around at them online and see you can get a car in pretty good shape for $1,000. My thought so far is a supercharged eco-tec, 5 or 6 speed, 17's, and some body mods to give it a modern day rally car feel.
For $500 bucks you can't go wrong. I would jump on it if I was you. Worst part is, I won't be the only one with a PT Manta. DANG!
