The car is a Manta Mirage kit car...
Background:
Two brothers Brad and Tim Lovette in California designed the Manta Mirage during the early 70's. They were into road racing and building fiberglass bodies for Cam-Am racing cars at the time and decided there was a market for a street legal version of a Cam-Am racer. So the Manta Mirage was born.

Most Manta's usually have a 327ci to 350ci, though there are some out there with engines as big as the 454 and 460ci. At only 1500lbs., these machines are brutal to drive. Staying at the speed limits can in themselves be a real challenge. The Manta can average well over 25mpg with a 350, and has a cruise range in excess of 600 miles highway. They are now becoming a rare find, and most usually sell for as little as $15,000.00 A properly equipped Manta Mirage with a 350, may easily take some of your favorite production road machines. This page is intended to serve as a small contribution to those who appreciate the sleek Manta Mirage."
