I am 41 and bought my first Opel in 1987 while in high school. I picked up a 1973 Manta for $300.00. I bought it to keep my Studebaker off the streets during the winter. I never though a car would be so much fun to drive. Since then I have owned 4 Manta's and they kept me mobile during the early years. Drove them for about 8 years and finally sold the last one about 10 years ago. Well I needed a econo car to get to and from work and tried to figure out what to buy. Did not want to spend much and most newer econo cars are front wheel drive, yuck
! So it all went back to the Opels. Picked up a 1975 1900 (Ascona) for $300.00, how ironic. At least I know how to work on them. Glad to see a great forum for support this time though. George.
For the post below. These are just before it went in to be restored. Hopefully it will be on the road again this year. Only pretty then.
