... and all are equipped with roof-racks!
Here's something that most will hardly ever see (with special apologies to Rob), 3 (operational) Sportwagons together!! Yes you have seen GT's and in Rob's case Mantas, but, when was the last time you saw this many Sportwagons!?!?
WAGONS HOOOOOO!!!!!

Gene, I was thinking about that the other day, in 20 years I've seen 2 wagons with my own eyes. I've never seen an Ascona in person. I haven't spotted a Manta in 12 years. Trust me I have an eye for them too. That is a rare sight indeed.
Dave;
It seems I have run into a batch of Mantas. I have one parked in the driveway right now (74 Rallye, rust bucket, being stripped for parts) and another waiting for me out in west GA this weeked (another 74 Rallye, again a rust bucket, but, has great parts) and another 75 Manta in east GA I intend looking at this weekend (again, another rust bucket waiting to be stripped)

Gene,
You don't need that backyard for anything but the parking do you?
Lou loves you soooooo much ... .

Definitely no apologies needed......a sweet sight indeed!!
BTW...isn't it funny how Manta's appear in shoals??...lol!

Wow is right! Where did you see all those wagons and what up with the roof racks???? Same owner???
Opelwagon;
All those Wagons were at my house as they are all mine, and I like roof racks as they are useful and look good on the car. In fact the one on the Signal Blue Wagon has been correctly shortened to allow a flip up sun roof to be added!

Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!!
I expect that there might be a line up of wagons here in Los Angeles at the 25th OMC picnic......but no roof racks!
Nice wagons.. Makes me wish I still had my '74.. Had dual webers, 2.0, A/C, Irmscher air dam, sideskirts, sport springs, big brakes, BBS wheels, etc.. Was friggen cool. I'm a jackass for letting the ex make me get rid of it..
I'll hafta scan the only pic I have left of it.. Paul in AZ has a nice little video of it...

LeftLane;
I have Steinmetz-like flres for it (future project) I don't have a/c, but, another future project is a 2.0 16V (I have the correct 5-spd to go with it), but, I have the 240 5-spd to go in till then. It currently is running on 13X6 BBS wheels, with Recaro seats (with recently aquired RecaroPhonic headrests). Both headlights have been replaced with CIBIE "Z" beams, and have a set of Oscar driving beams, and have procured a set of Oscar fogs. I have a KAMEI airdam on it and a weber 32/36. I don't go in for lowered cars, as Opels are low enough as is. The only other feature is a custom 2" exhaust.

Gene, you're goning to have to find one more. What, with a wife and two kids, you can't have the kids fighting over one wagon to drive.

I've had my 71 GT since I was 3 when my father brought it home, and I'll have it till the day I die!!!!
(in my best Blazing Saddles impression...) Roof rack??? Sports cars ain't got no stinking roof racks.

It's THE lastest fashion and gaining in popularity, so there's nothing that can stop it.

By the way Gene...I still have the gaskets for the roof rack I sent you...didn't forget. -SD

Ok, whenever you can pop them in the mail is fine.
