JollySipper Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 It's kinda rough, but still! This is what McCormick drove in the '80s TV show....... Here's a link to the ad........... https://charlotte.craigslist.org/cto/d/very-rare-1969-manta-montage/6624406162.html First thing I would do if I were to have it would be make a couple copies of it! Then find a wrecked 914 for the drive train..........
jchrisf Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 I was in love with McCormick's Coyote in the 80s. Always wanted one.. wish I would have found this back then.
espo Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 I knew a guy who had one many years ago. I had a Bradly GT II and offered some advice , but five years later when I left the area it was still sitting in his garage and all he had ever done was sit inside it and make strange noises like a sick engine and spinning tires. I'd just hand him another Beer and go do something else.
JollySipper Posted June 29, 2018 Author Posted June 29, 2018 I was just reading Wikipedia about the Manta cars.......... seems they were built from 1974 to 1986. I wonder how the seller thinks he has a "1969" model? Maybe it's on a '69 Bug chassis, so that's the year it's titled as? At any rate, I would still like to have one some day!
LDO Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 I think it would be cool with a tube chassis under it and a supercharged Ford 5.2 flat plane engine pumping out about 700 horses. It would go like a scalded ape and sound insane. Look pretty wild, too.
