Garth,

That's the former Jim Kuehne car, which in turn he bought from Larry Stock a 
few years ago.   Jim sold it earlier this year to a fellow named Steve Neff 
who lives in Marina, right near Monterey.   I believe the VIN is 8MA508, i.e. 
the 5th Mangusta made.   It has a number of unusual features, including deadly 
heavy decklid hatches made of steel (the production cars used aluminum).
