Currently waiting for an opening bid of just $10,000 (#130238688697) is this orange Manta Mirage in Santa Rosa, California, United States. It’s been finished (in the early eighties, after which the owner died and the car has basically sat since then), but because of the expired paperwork, in California it needs to pass smog testing, which obviously won’t happen — probably this car is best for buyers in states with no such requirement. It’s running the standard Chev 350 V8 mated to a Corvair 4-speed transmission setup, and has some very minor body work needed, but this is a great price for someone looking for a Manta. With Lamborghini replicas and Cobras consistently fetching well over $40,000, it always amazes me how little the Mantas sell for these days.

I never realized that the Mirage used a corvair transaxle as the standard setup. I know where a Mirage has been sitting in a shed/barn for close to 30 years! It’s orange and has a sbc like this one. These kits and the Montage’s are some of the best looking from their era…imo.
Yeah, stock they are 4-speed Corvair, although people swap in ZF (a la the Pantera) transmissions and Porsche (G35 I think?) transmissions as well to handle more power and for 5 and 6 speed set ups.
