Loring designs made several different cars using the same lines as well as a few that were out there. They were located in Port Orford Or if memory serves me, not much was ever seen in the mags or on the web about these cars. Somewhere I have a few pics floating in my boxes of goodies . I will look and get back to you.

I bought this car after seeing it on this fantastic web site. It was a total bargain. Body and paint is excellent. It was mechanically a mess but is running and driving great now. The Seller said the original dashboard (that he removed) said “Mantis Targa”. The body appears to be the same as the Kaylor GT-5 electric car (although the seller modified some things). It also has details in common with the Kellison Shark. Is there anywhere I can find more info or pictures on Mantis or Loring Designs? What is the connection with all these different cars with such similar details?

Thanks

This in fact is a Mantis Agean made by Loring Designs back in the late 70’s. They made a number of cars similar to that of the Invader by Bruce Weeks. But- it is not an Invader.
