Welcome to the page for my Manta Montage. The history of this car is rather interesting. It was the first car pulled off the molds when production of the Montage started. The old pinstriping was done by “Shaky Jake,” who was legendary for his ability to paint the stripes free-hand without taping. The car was used as a demonstrator and sat on the showroom floor for awhile. It was also used for the original sales brochure. Unfortunately, the car slowly went downhill, and when I got it, it was in rough shape. I don’t know what happened to the car from the time it went from being the demo car till I got hold of it other than a few facts I have picked up here and there, so if anyone knows anything about it, let me know. I do have one picture of this car with a sb chevy stuck in it; that probably explains the big hole that was in the trunk when I got it 
Check out the restoration pages for a listing of all the work that was done to the car in order to get it back in road-worthy condition. Also check out the modifications I have been doing to the car in order to make it a real car and not a pathetic 4-cylinder weakling. The current modifications include putting in a 500-cubic-inch Cadillac engine and a TH425 transaxle. It also has a Pinto front suspension and a custom tube frame. The picture to the right was taken after getting the car assembled and showing it at the Town of Man car show.
