smiffy220 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Wasn't sure what section to post this under. Came across this on the net. Stunning looking car. Anyone know anything about it? It says Opel Manta b?? Prototype maybe? Why did they never produce this, or if they did, I've never seen one before. Stunning car.

smiffy220 Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) First thought was opel gt/concept car That was my thoughts too, but this was from 1972, the GT came out before that didn't it!? Here's a link to the website featuring this car:- http://www.cartype.com/pages/5016/opel_manta_b__1972 There's video feeds too if you scroll down. I'd love to know more about this.

monzta Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 How do you get the door open? You yank the antenna in an up and down fasion Yeah it is a stunning car, back then there was alot more influence from the American market on how to make the Opels look.. It reminds me a bit of the Bitter wich also was a Opel Based sportscar (based on the diplomat). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
