Thanks. Still need to repaint the Manta starlite silver like it's big brother.
I made the 1/18th scale Manta's hitch out of balsa wood to take the load.

Wait one darn minute, I thought Raylle Manta's had color coded gas caps. The chrome ones were for the Luxus.

How come the Manta isn't pulling a GT, Ascona, or any other Opel?

BTW, I almost fell out of my chair

Good Job.

He owns a Bullet Bird.

As for the Manta diecast, it's a GTE one not exactly the same as a Ralley.

Probably because Opels aren't supposed to be trailer queens...

Probably the only class III trailer hitch on an Opel anywhere!

neuropel · 11-06-2008

Hmm...this really has me thinking...
I'm seeing a GT with a combination gas cap/gooseneck ball! Anybody know if a 6 cylinder cummins will bolt up to a GT transmission?

I think the maximum permissible towing weight is being exceeded on the green Opel and I am sure the Fuzz will pull you over for that. TUT! TUT! and I don't see the trailer lighting harness hooked up. Come on lads Safety first.

Like it's big brother. 6000# class III Reese hitch.

charlie1966 · 11-06-2008

OK my mistake, but have you ever weighed one of those models. They're heavy, but big brother should be ok. By the way the last time I saw that view of a car I think it had just run me over! OH the flashbacks!

I absolutely love that trailer hitch. I'm glad you did a write up because I plan on installing one on my Ascona to haul my Honda Ruckus around.
