1972 BUICK / OPEL MANTA "RALLY" / 1900 REALLY A GREAT LOOKING DESIGN!! NICE EXAMPLE READY TO RESTORE OR PLAY WITH! THESE WERE BUILT IN GERMANY BY OPEL FROM 1971 - 1975 FOR GM & SOLD IN THE US AT BUICK DEALERS IT WAS OWNED BY A COLLECTOR & HAS BEEN IN STORAGE FOR SOME TIME. IT IS NOT QUITE A DAILY DRIVER, BUT SHOULD NOT TAKE MUCH TO MAKE IT ONE. OVERALL A VERY NICE & CLEAN CAR! I'M SURE A FRESH TUNE UP & CARB ADJUSTMENT & IT WOULDN'T HURT TO RUN SOME FRESH GAS THROUGH IT, IT'S A LITTLE COLD BLOODED & IDLES A LITTLE ROUGH, BUT WHEN YOU REV IT UP THE LITTLE 4 CYLINDER ENGINE ACTUALLY SOUNDS SOLID! THE 4 SPEED TRANSMISSION SHIFTS GOOD THROUGH ALL THE GEARS. THE FORMER OWNER WAS TURNING IT INTO A LITTLE RALLY CAR, BUT THIS WILL MAKE SOMEONE AN EZ RESTORATION OR JUST A FUN DAILY DRIVER WITHOUT MUCH WORK AT ALL!! FRONT END, GRILLS, FRONT BUMPER, ETC. ARE ALL VERY NICE! STRAIGHT & CLEAN! THE PAINT JOB IS NOT GREAT. IT IS SHOWING IT'S AGE WITH CHIPS & BLEMS HERE & THERE. I THINK IT WOULD ACTUALLY LOOK FINE FOR A DAILY DRIVER. BUT YOU WILL WANT TO REPAINT IT IF YOU WISH TO RESTORE OR SHOW IT! MOST IMPORTANTLY, OTHER THAN THE TYPICAL AREA UNDER THE BATTERY, IT HAS NO ADVANCED RUST PROBLEMS AT ALL! LIKE MOST OF OUR CARS, WE HAVE HAD THIS CAR UP ON A HOIST & LOOKED IT OVER PRETTY THOROUGHLY & IT IS SOLID THROUGHOUT. SOLID ROCKERS SOLID FLOORBOARDS SOLID TRUNK FLOOR ETC. OTHERWISE, HERE ARE THE PARTICULARS: VIN: 579575454 ODOMETER READING: 83486 WE DO NOT GET SECURE ODOMETER STATEMENTS ON CARS OLDER THAN 10 YEARS, SO LIKE ALL OF OUR VEHICLES 10 YEARS & OLDER IT IS BEING SOLD AS:MILES EXEMPT. BODY: VERY NICE! FEW DINGS HERE & THERE, BUT OVERALL STRAIGHT & SOLID. GLASS: THE DRIVER'S DOOR GLASS NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, OTHERWISE ALL GLASS IS GOOD. RIGHT FRONT REAR TAILLIGHT PANEL & REAR BUMPERS LOOK NICE AND STRAIGHT! YOU CAN GET A GOOD IDEA ... OF JUST HOW AMAZINGLY STRAIGHT IT IS FOR AN ALMOST 40 YEAR OLD CAR BY.... LOOKING DOWN THE SIDES IN THESE PICTURES. GREAT BODY LINES! BLACK CENTERS OF THE WHEELS COULD USE SOME TOUCHUPS, BUT A NICE LOOKING SET OF WHEELS. TIRES HOLD AIR, BUT ARE "TIRED" & ARE SHOWING SOME WEATHER CHECKING FROM SITTING, SO PROBABLY NEED TO BE REPLACED BEFORE TOO MUCH LONGER. WE CAN GET YOU GOOD DEALS ON NEW & USED SETS OF TIRES & WOULD BE HAPPY TO GET THESE REPLACED FOR THE BUYER FOR OUR WHOLESALE COST. INTERIOR: DASH PAD HAS THE TYPICAL CRACK. BUT IT WOULD LOOK FINE WITH A DASH COVER. THE GAUGES ARE IN VERY NICE SHAPE FOR IT'S AGE. HAS THE "RALLY" FACTORY TACH & GAUGE PACKAGE. OVERALL NICE & CLEAN. THE BUCKETS ARE NOT PERFECT BUT IN NICE SHAPE. CARPETING LOOKS GOOD TOO. HAS NO REAR SEAT REAR PANELS OVERALL LOOK GOOD. HEADLINER & VISORS ARE LOOK GOOD. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL LOOKS TO BE IN NICE SHAPE! THE PASSENGER SIDE LOOKS GOOD AS WELL. VIEW OF THE PASSENGER SIDE. TRUNK IS IN GOOD SHAPE. SOLID & DRY. THE 4 CYLINDER 1.9 LITER IS TIGHT. AS WE MENTIONED BEFORE, A FRESH TUNEUP, SOME FRESH FUEL & REGULAR USE WILL DO IT A WORLD OF GOOD! MECHANICAL: SIZE: 115.8ci / 1.9 LITER 4 CYLINDER TRANSMISSION: TYPE: MANUAL 4 SPEED. SHIFTS NICE! BRAKES TYPE: HYDRAULIC CONDITION: THEY WORK, BUT SHOULD BE CHECKED BEFORE DRIVING ANY DISTANCE. SINCE IT HAS BEEN SITTING. STEERING: CONDITION: NICE & TIGHT. NICE LITTLE CAR!
