No title.

My Mechanical Design Prof in college had a whole fleet of those. As cool as they seem now, at the time I had to question his expertise in...Mechanical design...

Let's see...it ran when parked and it's a 1970. I'm guessing it was parked in 1972...

picture is dated 2008 (winter)...

or he can't use a camera but I doubt there is snow in kentucky right now...

In reply to fidelity101: Actually, they had four inches of snow in KY the day before Thanksgiving

The car has been for sale since at least September.

" call or email I don't text " - or know how to set the date on my point-n-shoot camera.

Mechanically same as a Manta, great handling car. Don't see them very often without roof racks.

My dad rallied a 74 Manta in the 70's and early 80's. I was a bit young but seemed like a damn fun car.

I was wondering how you knew it had no title, did you call and ask?

Had to facepalm a bit at it being listed on the LEX, it's pretty damn far from LEX- too far to pay that much to go out and drag back a car that would likely need a LOT of work and isn't THAT interesting. And out where I'd not be wholly surprised at their having snow.

Yep, I asked a couple weeks ago about the title.
