Spurred on by success, Noel brought out his second car in 1955, the Manta Ray, aimed at both the sports and race car market. His second car met with great acclaim, with production reaching 20 to 30 cars and bodies. Magazines featured his sports cars and racing versions appeared on the West Coast. It even appeared at the 1955 Petersen (Hot Rod, Motor Trend Magazines) Motorama.

This Manta Ray was purchased as a body by Elwood Cauffman of Whittier, CA, who built a custom tubular frame and installed a rebuilt high-performance V8 engine. This is one of four known Bangert Manta Ray sports cars that exist today.
