[DeTomaso] Race Mangusta on Ebay

[Julian Kift]

I'd agree that $90-100K is probably a good benchmark and it will likely only appeal to certain small market. Maybe it even warrants as high as $125K for the rarity and acceptance into prestigious historic races like Monterey Reunion, but alas the asking price is more than twice that.

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.
