[DeTomaso] Race Mangusta on Ebay

[Will Kooiman]

I would pay $50K in a heartbeat for it - if I were in the market for another car - which I'm not.

I would probably go up to $70K.  Beyond that is out of the range that I'd be willing to spend.

It should go for around $90-100K, though, in my opinion.

It's clearly highly modified, so I guess the value to an individual is based on wanting those modifications, and I assume it would be extreme expensive to duplicate, but that raises the same issue with Panteras having a $100K restoration and no one willing to pay more than $50K for it.

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.
