A quite striking white Manta Mirage is up for sale in Edmonton, Alberta right now. It was originally listed on eBay with a $38,000 reserve, which in my opinion is significantly more than it’s worth — realistically its value is between $20,000 and $30,000. I mentioned this to the owner, and we had a brief argument and our conversation ended, but a friend just showed me that it’s back on the market at a slashed price. At $30,000 asked, it’s still at the upper end of the car’s value, but definitely approaching where someone is going to bite since there aren’t many of these in Canada.

This Manta is being advertised as a 1985 factory build that’s been in storage since 1991 (at which time it was registered and plated in Alberta) after only 581 miles. According to the seller it still starts and runs well, but needs the brake and tranny fluids changed. It’s running a 375HP 350 Chevy mated to a 4-speed Corvair transmission — the normal Manta setup.
