Has anyone Heard of, or Seen a 72 Opel Manta A

[Iamtheonlyreal1]

I had a guy come in the shop today, and was looking at my projects.. He then said he had something I was missing.. LOL A 1972 Opel Manta, that is complete and in pretty good shape, but doesnt run (Not that anyone would use the original Powertrain) Anyway, I can get the car delivered to my door for 500 Bucks.. Now, I need this car like a hole in the head, but it does cater to my different category like my Volvo's.

Just wondering if anyone on here has had any experience with these cars, and if they are really worth messing with.. I found a youtube video of a bad ass car running a Volvo Motor.. It is Turbo and SuperCharged, and you can really hear the thing whine.. I have been debating on building a car so I can come play with you guys in the RTTH events, but I want something unique that wont cost a crap load if I tear it up.. LOL I would also like something that could be a contender, at a bargain price...

Damn, there is nothing like an AWSOME SUPERCHARGER WHINE....

I always wondered where you come up with these bizarre cars. Now I know that they actually find you. That is a great looking car. The compound charging is cool too.

I am the only fool around here that will buy them... LOL They come to me like they are abandoned dogs, and I dont have the heart to let them rot or get crushed.. If I dont buy this one, it may be taken to the scrap iron yard and crushed.

If I had the garage space, I would snatch up cars at prices like 500 bucks without thinking about it.

I think you are thinking of the Opel GT. Also very cool.
