My wife bought a new Manta in 1974 - just weeks before I met her. We drove it until it rusted out enough that I decared it unsafe to drive in 1998 with almost 200k miles. It was a good car, but I maintained it after the initial few stealer checkups in it's infancy. I did note the simularity to Mercedes engineering - front sub-frame, etc. I hated working on the Opel GTs that were brought into the shop I worked in during college. So did everyone else, so I was stuck with them. The hood was too small - worse than the Saab Sonett II and III. On Sun, Nov 11, 2012 at 11:55 AM, Dan Penoff <d...@penoff.com> wrote:
