Manta Cars was owned and operated by American brothers Brad and Tim LoVette, and was located in Costa Mesa, California, from 1974 to 1986 (Manta Cars moved their production facility and showroom to 2914 Halladay Avenue, Santa Ana, California around 1980). Manta produced the Manta Mirage, and later produced other component kit cars, including the rear-engined Volkswagen Beetle-based Manta Montage, and the mid-engined Montage-T, which had a custom space frame chassis and used GM X-body V6 drivetrains. The Montage-T recreated the elusive McLaren M6GT. / This Particle one it was built in 1981 / based 1963 Volkswagen Beetle Vin 5614528

Just like it says in the ad.
Pople change direction to look at this… Particle one.
those shuriken spinners look to be decorative. lugs visible in background. probably a good thing. agree on the cool look, tho.
those are some mighty unusual / narrow looking seats. better bring your 28 inch hips.
So under this cool body is a VW chassis with a Chevy V6 hanging off of the 63 VW transmission and 63 swing axles?
“needs a motor mount cause body vibration “ yeesh
I’m eagerly awaiting the DT Manta expert’s opinion on what the hell this is because the seller certainly doesn’t describe it clearly at all.
Lot of money for some sketchy Hardcastle and McCormick cosplay.
I’m way too fussy to deal with cars like this.
