1970 MANX

Description

This is a recent build. It was a stalled project that sat for years in a garage.
I am “ pretty sure” The body is a Bandito made by Chimera Enterprises from New Smyrna Beach FL..
It looks the same as one owned by Jay Leno. ( Yellow pictures) Other than that, there is no indication who the mfr of the tub is.
Everything on the bug is new. Wire harness, all brake lines, master cylinder fuel tank, exhaust, brake wheel cylinders and front calipers.
All suspension components are new.
Chassis
The chassis is a 1970 VW shortened 14 inches to fit the body. The welding was done and the floor pan was media blasted and painted black Imron. All suspension components are new. Stamped number on rear of chassis matches title.
Engine Trans
The transmission is an Independent rear suspension ( 1970) version and was rebuilt and painted. It is mounted on new urethane mounts.
The clutch and pressure plate are Kennedy Engineering stage 2 and the flywheel is new. The throw out bearing is new.
The engine was built by Valley VW in St Johns, PA. It is a 1914 cc long block, 94 mm pistons and cylinders. New camshaft, new dual port heads, Stage 1 port & polish. Chromoly push rods and stainless push rod tubes. New rockers and shims.
New Bosch “ one wire” alternator, new fuel pump ( shorter for the alternator.) Electronic distributor with vacuum advance. Holley carb on EMPI manifold. Quiet Pack exhaust. New starter. All battery cables are custom made. 6 gauge wire with copper ends. Positive cable runs thru the tunnel. Battery is mounted in front on pan against the fire wall. Battery is grounded to the front suspension, and ground wires are attached to the transmission case from the rear suspension.
The battery is a new AGM battery
Body Interior
The interior has a fresh carpet glued to the pan. The seats are 2000 Mazda Miata. They move forward and back, and the seat backs adjust. They are bolted thru the floor pan to T6 Aluminum bars to add stiffness and safety. Seat belts are secure to the seat mounting bolts and are adjustable.
Instruments consist of a GPS speedometer, an oil pressure warning light and alternator charge light. ( all work)
The shifter is a EMPI short shifter. All lights are new LED lights. All lights work including the reverse lights. The steering column is a stock VW column, with a new turn signal switch. The roll bar is steel, bolted to the floor pan and thru the sides of the body with 3/8 stainless steel bolts.
The pictures do not show the wipers but I have them and will install them prior to sale. The wheels are 2017 Mustang GT 18 inch. The tires are Pirelli  P zero.
Im probably forgetting a few items. I will take a startup and drive video today and upload them to you tube and provide the links. I have receipts for everything including the engine build, right down to every item I purchased for it. I can supply additional pictures on request. Email me through ebay or probanker1@gmail.
There are a few chips in the paint. I have taken pictures, but I am limited as to what I can up load. Nothing serious. No dents. ( Fiberglass body)
In short, a really nice, ready to go bug to enjoy for summer. PA title in my name. Overseas buyers: I have experience shipping overseas and can help with transport.

One person ask for full photos of the rear, showing the outline of the body in detail.
I sent him 5 pictures and thought they would be displayed but they are not. If anyone wants these photos or any others, let me know. I will get them right out to you. Thanks, Mike
