History
- It is a mostly original white 1974 Manta Rallye with a 3 speed automatic. It has had one respray in its original color. I pulled the tired engine and had it rebuilt to a 2.0L by Bell and Gaines in Modesto, CA. Other than the wheels and the non-functioning 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 bought this car as my first project in August/September when I was 17. I had dreamed of owning an Opel ever since I learned about them as a kid.

Exterior
- Front Air Dam
It was already on when I got the car, and I am planning on repainting it so it's actually the same color as the car :)
I'm still considering putting the correct Rallye side stripes back on
Custom black + yellow CA Legacy plates - "N7470B", which is a tribute to my late grandfather.

Audio
- Aftermarket radio and custom speakers behind the back seat/under the rear window that don't work. The wiring is butchered. Just haven't gotten to it yet.
