TerryB Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Neat car! I had looked at them when they were new as I was driving about 100 miles a day round trip for my job. Knowing they were sold at Buick dealerships eliminated the troubles of having to figure out where I could get it served. Wound up buying a Chevelle SS instead, a 350ci with 2 barrel carb. So maybe I wasn't that concerned about fuel economy after all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexRiv_63 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 My wife had a 73 Opel Manta when we got married. It was her first new car and it became our family car for at least 5 or 6 years. Economical, handled great, good body and paint but cheap interior. Very dependable except for carburetor casting warpage, undersized brakes, and rubber rings holding up exhaust system. I got real good at carb rebuilds and brake pad changes! We lived in Illinois at the time and surprisingly it was a great car in the snow, got through blizzards of 78 and 79 when others would not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
