Julian Kift, Lori Albino and I met him and spent quite a bit of time with
him at the Nor-Cal Shelby Club track event back in April, and I took numerous
detailed photos of the car which now appear in the De Tomaso registry.
Apparently this car was converted to a race car when almost new. The chassis
is unusually well-sorted, but the engine is weak, basically just a nice
street engine. Lilo just wants to have fun with it, but having said that, he
drove it extremely competitively against a Falcon that had a ton of
power--the Mangusta's handling allowed him to run with it.
Lilo has a bunch of nice cars--his other car at the track that day was a
1966 Lola T70 Spyder. :>)
