[DeTomaso] RM Auction Lot 166 - Mangusta 8MA890

[Charles Engles]

Dear Mike,



                In the previous email about a Mangusta you said:


" then last year it came back to PIM for a 
restoration for sale.   
The car was amazingly solid, with virtually no rust (Mangustas can rust 
ferociously).   They cut out a few small sections of the rocker panels and 
repaired them, then painted it in the original color.   They rebuilt the engine 
and gearbox, but didn't do a FULL restoration; they didn't touch the suspension or other systems.”


         Then in your next email about a Mangusta (the same Mangusta??) you responded to Al Grigsby:

    ”Johnny Woods went and inspected this car for a prospective buyer, and
while he found it to be extremely structurally sound, it did have a whole list of deviations from originality (originality is key for a Mangusta) as well as mechanical problems (oil pouring out the front of the freshly rebuilt 
engine for starters).”  


        So, my question is if the relates to the same Mangusta and freshly rebuilt engine from Pantera International Motorsports?


                   Very curious,  Chuck Engles
