The Manic GT was built by Bombardier in Canada between 1969 and 1971. The car used Renault 8 mechanicals



From what I can figure out, the French Canadians used a French car's mechanicals (Renault), but a new fiberglass body. The payments for the mechanicals never made it to Renault, so they stopped sending parts and that ended everything. About 60 were made

  1. The Manic was not made by Bombardier, although Bombardier was one of many shareholders in the company that built the fibreglass-bodied coupes in Granby, Quebec. About 160 were made, not 60.

    1. You should try and get the word out though Hemmings. Most publicity I can think of for a car for sale... or maybe Bring A Trailer

    1. Probably nothing, there is no demand, and no parts for restoration.
