Buffalowed Bill Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I have been cleaning out a garage at a former rental. I found, just the vary front portion of an Opel Manta Rally, that my, then, 16yo nephew, and a friend parted out, almost forty years ago. I believe that the car was a 1972 or 73. I'm posting this in hopes that there might be someone out there that needs something like this for a project car. There is no bumper or grille, but there was one of the unique running lights, which I think Mary is putting on eBay. The sheet metal is solid with only vary slight body damage. The bracing is all intact and undamaged, with original paint and everything is absolutely rust free . The front end was somewhat rudely cut, and separated from the body, about two feet back of the vary front of the car, leaving part of the inner fender and a stub of the sub-frame. There are also nice hood hinges. I'm just trying to find out if there is any need for this. I just want to find a good home for this. I really would rather not have to scrap it.-Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Pictures? That will help the most along with what you want for the part(s). You might also put in the headline for sale and also put a posting under the for sale tab.

Buffalowed Bill Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 Thank's Larry for the response. I had about given up the idea that my inquiry would get any kind of response. I'm not vary good at posting pictures, but could Email same to anyone interested. My better half and I were thinking something around $200. Little enough for saving this for more then 35 years! Any close reasonable offer is better then scrapping it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalowed Bill Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 Larry, Way tardy on this one, thought I had responded. Because of your help I was able to sell the sheet metal. Passing it on to someone who could use it was more important then the money. Thank's Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
