History
It is a mostly original white 1974 Manta Rallye with a 3 speed automatic. It has had one respray in its original color, it has a newer 1969 cylinder head, and the engine block is very tired. It has only ~55,000 miles on it, but compression was at 110, 110, 85, 110. I just pulled the engine out to bore it out to a 2.0 liter and do some modifications (like the OGTS Shorty Header, etc.). Other than the wheels and the broken aftermarket radio and speakers, everything else is original - the whole interior (seats and headliner will soon be redone), sunroof, and it even has the original, albeit somewhat crusty, rubber trunk liner.
I have no clue how many owners this car has had. It has a salvage title, but I'm not sure how it got that. It has very little bondo from what I can tell (tiny bit where I think it was dented in the front left fender), and the only trace of rust is in the battery tray, which has been dealt with.
I bought this car as my first project a few months ago when I was 17. I had dreamed of owning an Opel ever since I learned about them.

It was already on when I got the car, and I am planning on repainting it so it's the same color as the car :)
