so finally by the time you start working on a CommoB you will be finished with 3-4 Manta/Ascona/Kadett,
it's the reason why I'm a CommoB fan racing a KadettC!

Since there were only 3 known Commodore Bs to ever come to the US.. you can only imagine how hard it is here.
The one I had was not terribly bad, but had been hit a while ago and wasnt fixed as well as it could have been. It was (or I shoudl say still is) a 73' Commodore B Coupe with sunroof. It had been modified to mimic a GS. GS badges, fog lamps, etc.. no front spoiler though.
Rust wise it was in decent shape.. but the rubber was dry rotted and it was leaking terribly bad. So in 2000 I brought it to CA, when the deal to sell it fell through I was forced to sell to Todd at Opels Unlimited. He has since trashed it.. and blew a rear tire in it which tore up the rear quarter metal.
REALLY thinking of going and getting it back.. but would prefer to get one in better shape in europe and import. I prefer to find a GSE.
