Mantaray II Kyote

Post by dlyle »

I just picked up this cool Mantaray II Kyote. These were designed by Dean Jeffries. It's on a 1969 pan that needs shortening. The fiberglass is busted up a bit so there are repairs in the future. It's going to be a fun project. I'm on the lookout now for a set of seats, windshield, engine, tranny, and original bumpers. They made 150 or less of these so they are a bit rare. Can't wait to learn more about these.

It's got a full set of the Generation 1 Empi gauges. I need to find the cover for the engine. They are often missing

Some early print work that shows what it should look like.

I found a nice set of seats. They were sold as Porsche Speedster seats. Looks like a good fit.
