Street Racer by Chris Cummings.

After Mid Summers Dream Chris Cummings built this little road racer. Here's an early pic of it. Wonder whatever happened to it?

Chris`s Manta was a rear engined 302 Windsor with twin turbos,he sold it when he left Telstra and went partners with Chris Hillman doing Chev into Jag and 308 into Volvos conversions.

Nice car and great info. Cheers mate

I remember Chris' MANTA being on Display in Wollongong's Crown Central Multi Level car park. It was a "Stingray Promotions" show. Stingray Promotions was a joint venture business of Bruce Flynn (Ex Van Wheels Magazine and others) and John Strachan (Alley Cat).

I also remember dropping in at C&H Auto's? pre Chris's death and the name change to Radical Innovations. At that time the boys were building a gun metal grey HQ sedan for the Australian Cannonball Run running a Big Block Oldsmobile? engine. Slight brain fade here. But I do remember the nose cone being welded to the guards for the smooth seamless look, I guess this was in 1983. This was also the place where the "Cat" became "legal".

wow, haven't seen Chris Hillman since he moved up the coast - wonder how his back is
