Sometimes, i ask myself, if it wouldnt be a good idea for a manufacturer, to build cool and simple cars like those today. Very light, easy to maintain, without too much of all the electronic stuff, i know that at least my kids and i would appreciate.
God dammit I wish people in Lithuania would be as interested in engineering as swedish people are. When I was in Sweden I was simply amazed how you people love cars. Biggest regards !!
its something about that the super c. makes a pressure thats opens a valve to the turbo, so the sc. gives the start power, and the turbo gives power at the end, but i dont speek sweedish so i dont understand it all :D
The Opel Manta mk1 is such a pretty car to begin with. And he has not spoilt it, on the contrary. Would be nice to know what Mr Hilmersson is up to these days? Vad gör du nuförtiden Hilmersson?
@hawthornetheused the beetle was the first volkswagen, and hitler told the porsche-developers to make the vw, thats why the porsche looks like a chopped beetle
Lol at the volvo engine vs opel engine, yes the BF23 and 230 are good but all else is "oh you adjusted boost? I'mma pop my con rods" up to 1997 the 70's technology turbo engines are the good stuff. What I do know about opel engines is that they make a very good induction noise and fuel consumption is very minimal. Some might consume a bit of oil :)
in a carshow in manila in early 80's there was an opel manta on display...black in color with some red, blue, and pink....it also has some wide body works similar to those in toyota starlets..that was the best looking opel manta ive seen...but the engine is not good as the one in this video
1 lil pile of water on the street = 2 weeks of cleaning the engine :) but really really cool car looks really cool how much money did it cost to build itn up like that ?
wow, a piece of lowrider and a piece of mad max and also a piece of masterpiece, now this is what i call superior "charged" car. next thing i need is a big ass sweet blonde and some good beer than i am happy...could drive entire world with this Manta...and the sexy girl...and the beer ofcourse.

from which volvo car is the engine year of manufacturing and model of car please! how many cylinder has a engine? which exhaust and suspension has that thing? dimensions of tires and wheels? it is pretty nice done.
Nice car, but this is not a Manta anymore. This is a Volvo. Sorry! Tune the original Manta engine to the top or at least another Opel engine inside. So this is a Volvo! :P
Don't know who the bald guy is, don't care who he is, but can't stand a guy that touches and leans on someone else's car. To me, it shows a lack of respect. Like, if you can't stand and hold your own weight without putting it on someone's car, maybe it's time to go on a diet!
Opel engines arent good engines, hey break real easy and cant take any real beating, in Sweden most tuned Opel Asconas/Mantas have the B230 which is basically an indestructable engine.
Man that car looks fucking BAD ASS! Wow, it's really really to bad they never brought that to the States. Of course I would have killed my self with one if they had. P.S. what language are they speacking? Swiss? I can understand some of it.

Ha! Kul sett den själv när körde drag på Säve för måånga år sedan! Kul bygge!!!
That car would put a smile on my face every single time I would turn the key.
Looks great, has that late 90's style, but doesn't ruin the 60's-ish looks. And of course it is the volvo engine, sweedens original k-swap.
cant understand a word they say but its an awesome car. he did a very nice job. even if its not all Opel anymore.
Ich verstehe kein Wort, aber trotzdem ein geiler Manta!
Ein schönes Gefährt!
Running about 26psi. That's crazy!
God that car is badass. Sounds great, too!
Incredible!!!
Have seen a swedish V12 Manta A with Jaguar rear axle 20years ago !

Ich sag scho immer!!! Es lebe der Manta!!!!
Man, there used to be a copy of this floating around with English subtitles….
yes they did... GM owns opel I believe . My cousin has one in LA with a 13b turbo
I love the sould of the charger!
Alter Schwede was ne Kiste. Zwar ausser den runden Rückleuchten vom Manta A nix mehr mit nem Manta gemein ... aber echt sehr sehr nett das Teil.
1 lil pile of water on the street = 2 weeks of cleaning the engine :) but really really cool car looks really cool how much money did it cost to build itn up like that ?
masterpiece!
sounds like a sick cat
Kul bil.. men Volvo motor og BMW girkasse? Fins da masse muligheter å hente ut power fra Opel blokker også
Japp den blev förstörd med volvo och bmw grejer... :(

Volvo B234 Engine, probably a Volvo B230 block with a B234 (16V) head :)
Arte !! Arts !! Konst !!! Freizeit !!!
very very good work!
I do not speak this language. Was this custom body work? Or a kit? I would love those front and rear bumper additions
All custom metal work
@tronicson
thats becouse of the compressor or a so called supercharger.

how much to spend to get this kind of beauty car. I wish to get one. can u build it for me. I am from Malaysia
It's apparently up for grabs now on blocket.se. He's asking 50K (US) for it.
Sounds like my sons RC car. But I think this manta is a "little" faster.
rims are overkill but otherwise it's really nicely built.
listening to them speak I can only think about the cheff from the muppets...lol
damn did he really had to put on those HUUUGE rims ?!
omg..... i...want...those...THROTTLES!
Wärmetauscher A-MANTA undicht.. wie kann ich den wechseln ?

Nicht nur die Räder sind zu groß, der Flügel sind bescheiden aus!!!

turbocharger = ? => turbo adding
Both

What if I put a sluggish Dodge diesel V8 in a Lamborghini Countach, it's a Dodge?
i want to understand what they say :(
@Ati178 So if I put an Audi engine in a Ferrari it's an Audi?
har du gjort allt själv.. aa de har jag.. Like a BAWS
dear santa ^^
Coolest car ever!!! ohhh uhhh nvm.... Cooles engine ever!!!
you mean the audi R8 has a lamborghini v10 engine
Opel with Volvo Engine :( Epic Fail... Opel have damn good engines. Why not used a 4.0 V6?
What happend to this car?
I have not heard anything from this car in ages,
Man that car looks fucking BAD ASS!
Wow, it's really really to bad they never brought that to the States.
Of course I would have killed my self with one if they had.
P.S. what language are they speacking? Swiss? I can understand some of it.
Where is it today ?
Sorry I don't get that can you please explain it to me?
Nice Monster ;-)
Great !!!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone know where i can buy an opel manta 1982 GT/E in europe with a low price?
@moparcarsonly Yeah @ American cars. Americans have a different taste than europeans.
what is the differential of this car?
A c20xe can be modded to about the same tho ..
I wouldn't be that sure...
how much was it to rebuild this opel mantra?
thanks
No, I am sure the lambo has an Audi rs6 engine,
They must avoid all rain or that engine will take a bath
this is awesome! my dream car is something like that :P
