Jump on it Dieter, the seller doesn't have a title, which rules out a lot of states, the seller just has a Bill of Sale, which you can use here in GA

Ditto for Pennsylvania. I'm broke so I'm out. Sombody get this!!

oldopelguy · 03-18-2009

Geez, I have both the cash right now and the go-ahead from the fiance, but when am I going to have time to get to CT? And it's not like I need another Opel with no parts here in the US...

Gene, seriously, would I post it here if I was a bidder? Go out have another beer my friend!

I went to look at this car last summer...can't remember from whom I heard about it. But of course the day I went to the garage to look at it, it was locked up inside and on a lift...

But I really didn't need another project anyway.

neuropel · 03-19-2009

Well, if the driveline were shot it looks like it'd be an excellent candidate for a swap! Sorry, but this has Stephen written all over it. And now for my ulterior motive in replying - Stephen would you be interested if someone could offset some of your cost by helping with gas money in exchange for picking up some parts on the way up? Of course I have a bellhousing and a kadett bumper as well.
I need to get some stuff from Chesapeake VA.

Todd

oldopelguy · 03-19-2009

I actually have a fair slew of parts for it, what with it and the Admiral sharing so much drivetrain. That and them being the same year and all.

If I end up with it I'll certainly help you out with some parts delivery, Todd, though it might have to be AutoFair weekend since the rest of my spring is filling up fast.

neuropel · 03-19-2009

Hah! With a fiance, it's filling up twice as fast as normal! Congrats by the way as I hadn't heard. Remember, with the addition of the ring, Fiance becomes Finance.

I'll follow this thread to see how it ends up. Autofair weekend or anytime this Spring would work for me. And, perhaps there may be others interested in a parts run if you're heading up this way. For example, how about some of the people that ordered the Dr Manta stuff? Every little bit could help finance the trip.

Ideally I'd be hauling a car that direction....

Anyone in the NE looking to buy a small bumper sunroof Manta or 4-door Kadett?

I can't believe I'm even asking this but...what condition is the Manta in?

Not bad for rust, actually pretty good, but little dings and such here and there. I'll get some pics for you this weekend since I need to pull it out of the garage anyway. If you remember, it's the famous "blue max" that a certain someone had been raving about for so long.

Speaking of Charles, I see that Charles Manson was on the news this morning
for some reason or other. I wonder if he ever owned or drove an Opel.

Nah, they advertised it as a five seater, but you just can't fit that many bodies in an Opel.

Aardvaark · 03-20-2009

Sorry guys. The devil made me ask!

MantAscona · 03-23-2009

Is anyone here the new owner?

Duane

timemachine · 03-24-2009

I'm curious about the same.

jlthunder · 03-24-2009

I think it is like the lottery. The person doesn't want to say it is theirs until it is in their driveway

I'm wondering too!

oldopelguy · 03-24-2009

Wasn't me. No paperwork= parts car for me, and it got too rich for that.

Rionart · 03-24-2009

Not me...it's got too many doors.

MantAscona · 03-24-2009

I would have loved to have it, but waaay too many time and money obligations already exist for me.

I hope whomever got it is going to put it back into service.

Duane
