About Manta Cars

[MantaMan]

As a producer of serialized, register-able vehicles do you think Manta Cars was required to submit production information to their local government or maybe the Feds ? I wonder if they might still ave some documentation. I've always wondered what year my Manta was laid (serial #66).

No, since Manta Cars produced only the chassis & bodies without an engine, they were not considered to be a manufacturer. Therefore they did not need to crash test their vehicles, file paperwork, etc- only the usual stuff associated with doing business in CA.
