Opel Manta Manta Blue Max (1973)
for sale

Price: US $1,000.00

Description:

Up for auction is the rarest Opel ever imported to the U.S. The Blue Max edition Manta. It was a special one year only edition of the Manta Luxus for 1973. There are most probably, less than a dozen of these left in the world! When it came from the factory it included a blue vinyl roof, factory sunroof, automatic transmission, white wall tires, tinted glass, strato-blue(aka.monza blau) paint, etc. This car was purchased by me five years ago as a project car that some one had given up on. The paper trail of all of the owners are in my possession. The car started off with its first owner in Washington state, then went to California, then Long Island NY, before I picked it up and brought it to Massachusetts to undergo restoration. The car has 67, 000 original documented miles, so it did not need much mechanical work except for a new Weber carb and extensive brake renovation. She runs really well. It has undergone a thorough exterior renovation as well as interior. I wanted to keep this Blue Max as original as possible, but personally I never liked vinyl tops so that had to go. I swapped the speedo/instrument unit for one from Germany, so it now reads in KM and has a tachometer. It's time for me to sell the car because of upcoming retirement, along with moving, and other projects that I still want to tackle. This is a really beautiful car, that turns heads where ever she goes and will do the new owner proud. NADA lists this car for $13, 000+. I am offering a buy it now price of only $10, 500US.
