Owen F sends us the Manic GT - a rare, Canadian-built sports car produced in Quebec between 1969 and 1971.  Conceived by advertising executive Jacques About and named after the massive Manicouagan Dam, it featured a striking fiberglass body riding on Renault 8 and 10 mechanicals.  Because it weighed just 1,450 lbs and was powered by a 1.3-liter Renault engine producing between 65 and 105 hp (depending on the level of tune), it offered spirited performance for its era. Unfortunately, supply chain and manufacturing issues—particularly getting parts from Renault - forced the company to shut down after building only about 160 cars.  Today, surviving models are highly prized, extremely rare collector's items.
