[DeTomaso] Race Mangusta on Ebay

[Julian Kift]

I gave it some serious consideration previously, it is a beautiful car but price is way out of my range especially for a car that doesn't really have any real coveted racing history, other than an SCCA logbook (which I have for just about all my cars so I can run local SCCA events).
 
There's lots of photos at Chuck's registry, including it's demise during the Cannonball Run in the late 90's (?) at which time it was still a road registered car. Most of the modifications appear to be mor modern. I'm not sure why it is now reputedly getting coveted FIA Papers.

Lilo has material (log book) to establish its history as being raced, and it was accepted for the Monterey Historics a couple years ago.  I guess that makes it pretty rare.
