Second Chance: 1975 Opel Manta 1900


The first generation Opel Manta is an affordable classic that deserves a spot in your garage…wait a minute. I’ve seen this car before. Oh we featured this car in December of 2020 and it was a good deal then and it is cheaper now, so go buy this Opel Manta before it gets relisted 6 months later for another grand off the asking price. Find this 1975 Opel Manta offered for $11,500 in East Meadow, NY via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

Very nice rare example of the last year made fuel injected 1900 sports coupe Manta with just a little over 20,000 original miles . Interior is outstanding original , body is all original and no rust anywhere , original paint still looks great with minimum wear and some small defects . Engine runs well , fuel system recently gone through and cleaned , new fuel pump , fuel , cleaned injectors , battery , etc . Has last been driven back in 2008/2009 but garaged since .Trunk is absolutely dead new with original spare and jack . Have all original paperwork since new including window sticker and bill of sale .

Seen listed elsewhere quite some time ago.
Had a ’71 that I bought in college for $100 from a guy in New Rochelle.
$40 valve job and did two years thereafter. A true 6′ e-z rear seat.
Knocked a grand off? I thought used car prices were going up!
