I was surprised to see so many Opel Manta’s :confused:
Didn’t even know they were sold in the US

It seems to me that they were sold here from about 1971 to 1974. Very cool cars.

In that period Buick sales literature (i.e. the Color and Trim albums) consisted a Buick part and Opel part.

Cool ad!

I wish that Opel had made the Manta available with the six cylinder engine (same as in the Commodore). That four cylinder 1.9 liter engine was a bit :sleep: as I remember it

THe Buick Opel Manta sold pretty well here in the Philadelphia area.
I haven't seen one of these anywhere for years.
I guess they are just about extinct.
