1980 | Opel Manta 2,0 GT/J

Opel Manta B GT/J – The Pure Essence of the 80s 🎸

There are cars that evoke emotions, and then there are cars that shaped an entire generation. And then there’s the Opel Manta B GT/J – a rolling time capsule that exudes more nostalgia in a single appearance than a mixtape of Modern Talking and Nena. 🎶

The Manta B GT/J was the car for those who wanted an alternative to boring family sedans but had no interest – or budget – for a Porsche. With its 2.0 CIH engine and a modest 100 horsepower, it wasn’t a brute on the road. But let’s be honest: If you drove up in a Manta in the 80s, speed wasn’t the point. It was all about the look. And my God, did this car have the look! 😎🔥

🎨 Design – A Manta Has to Stand Out!

✅ Silver with black GT/J decorative stripes? Perfect.
✅ A Zender rear spoiler that not only looks good but actually contributes to aerodynamics? Check.
✅ Legendary ATS 13” Classic wheels, the knight’s seal of approval for any sporty Opel? Of course!

The look is completed by Engelmann sport mirrors that either work aerodynamic wonders at high speeds or transport you straight back in time – depending on how many fuel fumes you’ve inhaled. 😆 And let’s not forget the Simmons sport exhaust, whose deep sound reminds an entire nation that Germany used to build real cars in the 80s. 🏁🔥

🛋️ Interior – A Red Dream!

Step into a Manta today, and the first thing you’ll notice is a sea of red synthetic leather. 🌊❤️ It’s as if a designer saw a Ferrari and decided Opel could do the same – just with more plastic.

The Petri sport steering wheel fits perfectly in your hands, offering a clear view of the sporty instrument cluster, which has more gauges than a space shuttle: 🚀

📊 Speedometer
📊 RPM counter
📊 Oil pressure
📊 Water temperature
📊 Fuel gauge and a voltmeter – because you never know. 😆

And of course, the obligatory dashboard clock, right next to the untouched ashtray – a relic from a time when filling up the tank was followed by lighting a cigarette and debating whether to buy a new spoiler kit or a 1000-watt stereo system for the weekend. 🚬💨💿

🏎️ Driving Experience – Fun Isn't About Horsepower!

100 horsepower might sound laughable today, but the Manta is light, direct, and – let’s call it lively on the road. 🌪️ It wants to be driven, not just taken for a ride. Every corner is a little adventure, every country road proof that driving pleasure isn’t measured in horsepower. 🏁💨

And the best part? This Manta has been loved, cared for, and regularly driven. ❤️

✅ Rust? Always professionally removed.
✅ Mechanics? Always well maintained.
It doesn’t just have history – it lives it. 🔥

🤩 Conclusion – A Manta Is Not Just a Car, It’s a Lifestyle!

Whoever buys this Manta isn’t just getting a means of transportation. They’re getting a ticket back to a time when cars had character and being a little different was cool. 🎟️

The Opel Manta B GT/J isn’t just rare – it’s a stylish rarity. 🎯 And if you’re still hesitating, then maybe a Golf 2 is more your thing… 😉
