Glad to say I've recently acquired a Manta Montage Type T and very happy to find this forum. I bought this Deluxe kit from the fellow who bought it new from Manta Cars. Luckily the gelcoat is nice, interior is perfect, fiberglass is perfect and everything was built following the build manual (which luckily was with the car) with Citation V6 4 spd powertrain, mustang 11 frontend, Manta supplied AC/heater, Manta supplied headers. Appears to have been driven very little as the build was not finished enough to really use the car. Car was safely stored away for over 30 years. Motor is seized and sadly the windshield is cracked but the car is so nice I still proceeded with the purchase. Plans are for more horsepower, tying up the loose ends, etc. I am very impressed with the chassis and overall kit car quality.
