Later in life I owned or own many high end automobiles from real AC Cobras, Ford GT40, ountless Hemi cars, nd many others too numerous to list. 40 years later I still yearned for a perfect Opel Manta. After an exhaustive search I came up empty. There were no true concours restored Mantas in existence. So I researched who was the premier Opel restoration shop and found New Vintage Auto in TN. They had exactly the car I had as a kid. This 1974 Opel Manta Rallye in Opel Jade Green Metallic with air conditioning, utomatic, unroof, tc. It was the spitting image of my old car. So i commissioned a no expense spared restoration with every NOS part available. That was 5 years ago. Since then the car has been driven under 100 miles and has been in a climate controlled environment with AC cobras, emis, nd more....
So if you want something different to drive or show this is an instant trophy winner and attention getter. It would take you years and too much money to duplicate this car not to mention you would never find the nos parts. I already did the work for you.
Below is a quote copied from the New Vintage website:If a factory correct restoration was important in the Opel world...this car would set the standard. With 100s of NOS parts, ll new interior, ngine parts and accessories plated and painted the correct shade of color, t makes the car truly a concourse quality ride. This 1974 Opel Manta Rallye not only is a sunroof car, uthas rear window defrost, utomatic transmission, ir conditioning, nd the Rallye package. The hood was painted in a traditional Organasol finish and the stripes were painted on.
