#Manta 400 for sale registration#
The seller claims that he has a title and a registration for this Manta. The seats look to be in fine condition with tufted upholstery that is reminiscent of a ’70s custom. The switchgear has some neat, racecar style labeling while the simple black-faced gauges complete the overall go-fast visual experience. The seller does mention that the steering wheel has a quick disconnect to aid ingress/egress. I like the interior, it has a racecar vibe to it but it doesn’t look like you need to be a contortionist to squeeze into the driver’s seat. I think the biggest concern would be ground clearance, this baby is low and tight – you’d have to plan your route if the street operation was in the mix. The seller makes a point of stating that the doors work properly so there’s no body sagging or shift. Of course craigslist images don’t usually provide the best clarity so maybe real life is less spectacular than what is presented here. There are no obvious seam separations, bubbles, waviness, or rivet-pops. The images present a pretty tidy looking presentation.
#Manta 400 for sale manual#
There is a manual Corvair transaxle in place so that would mean, in all probability, a four-speed unit.Īnother observation is that the seller claims, “ Body is ready for your paintwork“. It is powered by a Chevrolet LT1, 350 CI V8 engine, more than likely an early ’90s version, which had a stock HP rating of 300 net HP. Anyway, this Mirage, according to the seller, has “ been very sorted out and rips down the road”. So, is this a real Mirage or does it just look like a Mirage, you know, a mirage of a Mirage? Further inquiry is necessary. The opening of this listing is a bit confusing as the seller states, “ I have a mirage built by an Indy/formula race car builder….She’s a bada– little replica“. Total Manta production, over its thirteen years run, was about 1,000 cars. To put power to the ground, the transaxle employed was courtesy of a Chevrolet Corvair. Engine choices started out with Chevrolet, both big and small-block engines but Ford got in on the act too. With a fiberglass body mounted on a steel frame, the Mirage featured gull-wing doors and weighed in at a feather-weight 1,900 lbs. Manta, a creation of the California based LoVette brothers, designed their Mirage with a mid-engined Can-Am attitude. This Manta is located in Morgan Hill, California and is available, here on craigslist for $21,000.

What gives? Hard to say but this is certainly a car worth reviewing. Take this Manta Mirage, it is listed as a 2000 model but the year 2000 was fourteen years after Manta (1974-1986) called it quits. I am always confused when sellers are confused.
