Yoo betcha.   There is a basket case Mangusta that has been sitting on a spit 
for 15-20 years I think, in Incline Village, Nevada (ritzy community on the 
shores of Lake Tahoe).   A dentist (or something like that) who fancied himself 
an auto restoror bought a rather rusty two-headlight Mangusta (they only seem 
to come in three varieties--rusted, VERY rusted, or formerly rusted and now 
restored) with the intent of fixing it.

He started hacking away at it, but quickly ran out of steam and it's been 
sitting ever since.   After a very long time of trying to get him to acknowledge 
reality, Jim Nowlin has finally convinced him to put it up for sale, and Jim 
is handling the matter for him.

(The owner actually moved to Mexico years ago, and the car just sits in his 
winter home).

I'll send you a photo of the car, and then you can decide if this is 
'project' enough for you.   It looks truly frightening, but supposedly it's all 
there....

Mike
