Cool cars no matter what brand

One of my favorites, 1974 Opel Manta. I owned one back in the early 80s. I modified the engine a bit to be 105 hp with a down-draft Webber carb. Not bad power in a 2100 lb car with a 4 speed manual and the damned thing handled like it was on rails! It could out handle most Porsche’s of the day and was even banned from SCCA competition as being too much better than the rest could compete with in its class. I once dusted a Porsche 930S so badly that the owner traded his car in on a new Manta.

This one is yellow, mine was bright red.

My buddy had a 1900 model? Looked like a Manta only cheaper. He got rid of the Solex and adapted a Holley 2 stage 2 barrel. It was a screamer. Ah yes. The days of the German Opels.
