Used 1973 Opel Manta for Sale near Barrie, ON

What a great handling little coupe for it's day. Underpowered, but fun it the tight twisties. 1.9L four banger was bullet-proof. Original Zenith-Solex carburator was possibly the worst ever made. A swap with a Webber made all things right. Great suspension with rear track bar and torque tube on front of differential - later to be used on Z28 IROCs. Rear diff was the Achilles' heel of the Manta. Great car to learn how to work on cars.

The steering wheel was so close to the windshield the knuckles would brush up against it. Smart looking sporty design. O with the lightning bolt was clever. Mom had it towed away while I was at school and never had a chance to take it for a run. I was sixteen years old.
