Call me weird, but I actually like the Manta better than the GT.

Duke, that is not weird, unless I am weird too.

I like all Opels better than the GT. The GT isn't terrible but I just don't like the styling much.

The Manta is such a better car than the GT.

I'll admit, any other Opel is certainly more useful than the GT.

On a side note, why are the majority of Manta's I see are some shade of gold or mustard? Just an observation.

The ones I see are almost all the same color of rust.

The same reason that all '69 Pontiacs are dark metallic green. Just the popular color of the time.

My dad's 74 was white with black hood and stripes. Until he rolled it on a rally. Repainted "rally gold" if I remember the paint chart. And bought a '78 Datsun 710 for the family car as per my mother.
