Friend posted this to instagram. Not sure what it is, but it looks like a kit car. Help?

Update: I think it's the Manta Montage. Thanks to @daender and @McMike for the help.

I know exactly what it is, but I can't remember what it's called. Stand by while I Google my brain...

Might be a montage. Looks close.

There was nothing consistent about 70s kit cars.

Google "Manta Montage Kit Car"

Coyote is Close, it's actually a Manta Montage which the Coyote was based off of for the TV Show Hardcastle and McCormick.

Could be a Montage, but the oddly-placed muffler gives me the impression it's VW-powered and likely the Coyote with some glass work done to it to match the Montage.

Everyone beat me to it, but another vote for Manta Montage.

The Montage was a 917 lookalike, and the Mirage was the McLaren lookalke.

Edit......

Montage = McLaren M6GT

Mirage = Mclaren M8

That is exactly the car I was thinking of. Could not think of the show.
