Manta in U-Pull-It Yard

[spamseptictank]

For those who might be interested in getting out there...
I was at the LKQ Copher yesterday (1-21-08) and found a 79 (build date september 1977),2 door, Buick/Opel Manta built by Isuzu Japan. All the glass was good, fuel tank looked okay body had some surface rust, tail lights were intact. No badging other than the Buick/Opel, louvers on the sail panel were okay and hinge worked for fuel door. Interior was so-so.
I could not check the engine other than to see that it was there, as the hood could not be opened (cable was nowhere in sight), automatic tranny, rear-end and prop shaft look okay. If anyone one is interested, the yard is located on Causeway Blvd. in Tampa, East of US41 right before the RR tracks, and the car is in the back section with imports.
Sorry I can't give more info and I don't know when I'll be back out there, but I'll check again next time I'm there. Maybe one of the Tampa Opelers can get out there?
FWIW

Dave,

I'm sure you are talking about an Opel/Isuzu like in the picture, which has the same body style as the Opel Kadett C in Europe (also called Gemini in other parts of the world), but it is not a Manta.

You are correct. My mistake. Sorry for any confusion and/or excitement.
