It reminds me the Manta Mirage.

Looks like Manta Mirage to me too Antp

When Antp mentioned Manta I looked long and hard and just can't find one with the same front end design as this one, the air vent low in the back wing (rather than high) and the side design I see in the brightened picture. See: http://www.tradeshowsandevents.com/tri-magnum/images/body-manta-mirage.jpg and http://www.davewolin.com/images/man1.jpg . I won't argue with the I.D. but I personally am not 100% convinced yet.

Maybe not a Mirage, but I guess there are other Manta kit-cars, maybe it is another model of this make?

I believe that there were other Manta kit cars that could have been modified to look like this one.

The shape is familiar in someway to me too. I remember British company called UVA (Unique Vehicle & Accessory) made cars that looked like that and were supposedly based on Käfer.

Looks like a later-model Mirage to me.

I Believe this was a kit produced in the late 1970's and early 80's called the Willow GT, it had a custom tube frame and used 2.0 or 2.3 pinto power.

I would rather go for the 1981 Willow by Seltzer Motor Industries.
There are lot of similarities like front and rear fenders and the front air intake.
Compare (1980 Willow): http://www.flickr.com/photos/autohistorian/8607843872/

They changed the rear lights in 1981

Very nice looking car, looks a little tall.
Wont win no cannonball run as it comes with a 2.0 100hp pinto.
Goes to show how looks can be deceiving.
