I do like Manta's, I had one years ago, B669 RPR. It was White when I got it, resprayed to bright Yellow. Originally brought it for parts to get my MK1 Cavalier back together, although the Manta had damage it was easier to fix up the Manta and let the scrapyard take the Cavalier away.
I brought the 3rd Gen Firebird, and let the Manta go.
