    For sale is a partially completed Manta Mirage kit. The frame and suspension are in place with VW drums all around...but wait there is more to this :)

    The Mirage was designed as a mid-engine V8 sports car and has a steel space frame. On this kit, only the fuel tank side pods and rear engine cover are bolted in place at this time. The V8 engine presently in place is just a core used for fitment. I got this car in a trade and just want to move it on before I get carried away with it. The guy I got it from had it sitting as you see it for 33 years. It will be easy to ship as it all can be fitted together easily and the included but uninstalled items can fit inside.

    So, why is this kit so great? Because, it has the following key items included to make it easy and inexpensive to complete:

    It has the Kelmark transaxle adapter and remote shift linkage

    Handmade Manta specific headers,

    A brand new glass windshield from England

    Manta custom air cleaner cover

    Original, never used Manta radiator and electric cooling fan

    Motolita steering wheel

    New, unused side windows in plexiglass

    The special front sub-frame to mount the much more desirable Pinto/Mustang II independent front suspension

    Headlight actuator bar

    The one piece snap on interior-this has some mouse damage, but could be repaired or used as an excellent pattern

    Sweet vintage turbine wheels and vintage Mickey Thompson tires, which are aged out

    Original Manta wiring harness

    Original Manta assembly manual

    Here's your chance to build your dream

    Hardcastle and McCormick! I know, that's a montage but this is close enough. If either of my kids had interest in cars we'd be working on this thing right now-super cool-GLWS

    dang seems like this should be an instant sale.

    A Bring a Trailer auction would be swell... $99 to list it so why not?
