Vauxhall Magnum YB

[L14MNP]

Was getting some tyres on my 106 today and the lad that owns the business' brother was showing me his cars, a Nova, Evo 7, Volvo S40 banger racer (lol) and the old skool win that was a 78? Magnum coupe with a built YB motor. Very cool.

It keeps breaking the running gear as he said it was up around 400 BHP so could do with an Atlas etc, and it's on the original front brakes!

It's for sale if someone waves the cash under his nose. What would something like that be worth? No MOT etc I assume. It seemed very clean, he said it had had a couple of patches but had been sitting in the unit for something like the past 5 years.

I'd roll it. Awesome rear end without that gaty droop snoot Firenza carry on. Looked like Aussie muscle. :cool:

Manta A ftw! They are nice though, and... lots I would imagine, wouldn't be surprised if he wanted well over 5-6k for it.

[L14MNP]

Didn't know it was based on a Manta A. Looks nothing like one. Much cooler! as for the money, he said 'about' £4K. Which effectively means a car for nowt lol.

its one of my mates his garage in biker i rite next to wear the big fire was the nova is for sale for about 100 quid

[L14MNP]

That's the one! He needs to get the running gear beefed up and give it some death. for around £4K that would be an awesome deal (if he sells).

I didn't see much of the Nova, looked clean though - that dog is vicious!

Pass on my regards to your pal, so cheap for good tyres. Fantastic service too!

It's not, just same kind of era/opel-ness etc, I'd rather have a Manta lol

Maybe boss can get some. I never thought at the time, but even if I had I wouldn't have took the p!ss like that. Talk about looking shady. lol

It will have been seen by some on here before, as he never converted it and a mate of mine said a silver YB powered one had sold on the bay a few years back...
