Swedish made Manta '71 578HP Volvo engine with supercharger and turbo. BMW 535 gearbox with custom shifter. German DTM magnesium center-bolt wheels, homemade hub with corvette brakes. All metal bodywork. Cut suspension struts to fit the car? No, cut holes in hood to fit struts in custom towers. Love this carOriginally posted by exexpat View PostI can't argue with this one

...and the newer hatches. But still lots of dislike for the 1980 through about 2005 stuff from me.

I would give my left nut to be able to drive this in the US. I loved the 70s and early 80s Opels so much when growing up becaused they looked like american mucle but better lines and finer attention to detail. Same goes for the German Fords of that era. Taunus, Capri, Granada, etc... Also why I like 80s and 90s Australian cars so much. They are the cars that GM and Ford SHOULD HAVE made for the US!
