[DeTomaso] Ghibli vs. GT5-S/Mangusta

[Emiliano Ballejos]

Mike, 

A Ghibli that sold at a private sale on the west coast in the last 90 days... The price was 1.2M.  Yes, it was an exceptional car but just a few numbers down the production line from mine. 

I know of several others that have sold in the $650 range within the last year.

They are not shockingly fast, but they are certainly fast enough.  That view over the hood is magnificent--it reminds me of a big luxury powerboat.  They feel smooth and refined and make me think of Monaco and yachts--certainly Ghibli Man is a far more sophisticated and affluent fellow than Pantera Man is.

I would never trade a Ghibli for those two, although I might be convinced to trade it for something else--like 25-50% of a Daytona.

   Mike,

   few numbers down the production line from mine.

     Would probably have enough money left over to get a Mangusta as
     well.

   Having spent a day driving a Ghibli through the Belgian countryside
   about 12 years ago, I can say that they are a marvelous invention.

   You've already got a Pantera--a second one wouldn't really change your
   life that much for the better, and a Mangusta will always be a
