Just got this report from a friend:

Lot# 356 FRI 1970 De Tomaso Mangusta $68,750

Don't know anything else about the condition (this was an RM sale I believe) but some of you might. If you do, please share to see whether this was an encouraging or discouraging result!

Adams,
I hope that this means that you are going to sell that junior “F” car and add a Goose to your collection.

I'm selling Junior F car, but not for a Goose unless they're laying golden eggs.

Much as I love the looks, I'm not of a mind-set to be an owner. I WISH I knew the VIN on this one that sold, but only got the world's longest list of 'sold' cars (for SCM Magazine next month). If this was Sheehan's black Goose, that price has got to make the ex-owner sick.

Photos of this car available in the DeTomaso Registry:

A 9100 mile Mangusta for$69K. A steal compared to many that brought close to $90K in what appears to be much nicer condition.

It would be great to see that car. Jeff any photos?

Adams,
Some pics on Prova Mo.

Hello Everyone The Monterey goose sold for 68500 including 10% buyer premium. It previously sold at a RM florida auction last march or so for 76500 with 10% buyer premium.The car had been sitting for years and needed full mechanical redo.The florida buyer got it running for the Monterey Auction so lost big time after the 10% buyers premium.Jerry 8MA542,8MA822,8MA1126,8MA1256,THPNM2222

Sheehans black goose sold for 90000 then the buyer came to get it, forgot to turn the rad fans on,it heated up and he demanded 5000 off which sheehan granted so it sold for 85000. Jerry

Thanks Mangustaman! So, a guy buys a $90grand car highly prone to overheat, 'forgets' to turn the fans on and its Sheehan's fault. Though some aren't that fond of Mike, imagine the crud he goes through, so I say 'salute' for doing what was overly 'right'.

Anyway, $85grand is mildly encouraging, even though presumably much more than that was spent restoring the car. It was/is beautiful.
