For Sale is this very rare 1970s crazy Can-Am inspired mid-engined road car built by the American manufacturer Manta Cars and was named the Manta Mirage . <br />
<br />
The Manta Mirage made its 5 minuets of fame staring in the cult movie Gone In 60 Seconds and was given the name Annie.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Mirage, originally referred to as just the "Manta", or the "Manta Can-Am", is a light-weight road-legal racing car. The Mirage"s steel space frame chassis was fitted with a high-output (380-400hp) Chevy 327cu V8 engine and a uprated 4-speed Chevy Corvair transaxle via a Kelmark adapter and remote shifter. The bodywork is hand-laid fiberglass, and are pre-colored in a range of gel-coat colors. Gull-wing doors were fitted to a removable top section, while the doors flip forward for entry. <br />
<br />
With curb weights as light as 1,900 lbs (680 kg), these were built to be extremely fast and not for the faint hearted.<br />
<br />
This is a is a recent American import (Nov-2017) with all paperwork and duties paid documents for registration.<br />
<br />
This was a very good running and driving vehicle up until the engine was removed 4 weeks ago (ENGINE NOT INCLUDED). The engine was not original to the Mirage, and was removed due to it being a very specialist engine and was used in another project. <br />
