Does anyone know if this is the correct "Mangusta" script? OEM? It resembles the "detomaso" script, but not the more common Mangusta emblem.

The lower one looks too modern in comparison to all the other De Tomaso scripts, especially in the style of the 's' and 'm'. I'd take a guess the top one is original as it contains the same 's' style as the De Tomaso script.
Larry Stock has just had new scripts water jet cut from Stainless for 'De Tomaso', 'Pantera' and 'Mangusta' style scripts. He'd know for sure and have a replacement should you need it. Julian |

Can't say that I've ever seen that top type before!!! The type as seen in the bottom photo is certainly more common,, and is the same type that Larry at PPC in Reno is doing out of stainless now!

I asked my Aunt and she said there were several changes to he script over the years. They changed vendors, and each one would make it differently. Before Ford, they were done locally, durning the Ford time, some were done with the Ford vendor, after Ford they were done by a shop in Modena.
It would be interesting to look at several over the span of the 50 years, and see the difference. I am headed to my car, longchamp, and I will post a picture. |

Steve, I thought the same thing and then I went looking through my image pile and look what I found. Your car right beside the ONLY Mangusta I could find with that script (and odd placement). It's on 8Ma508. Maybe it was only on the first few cars, but all the images I have of other early cars have the conventional script located on the rear deck as we expect. I guess based on William's note that this could be a very rare version.  |

Last time I talked to him they were $120 each, which I think is pretty fair. I would like to see a photo of one of the repros if anybody has one. Mark |

here is a pic of the emblems from 8MA600. The originals are above the repros. After looking at the quslity difference, i am going to restore the originals. The "Mangusta" logo has a broken mounting tab. The one that the guy is selling on ebay doesn't look like it has tabs at all.
I do not know if these emblems were mounted on the rear grille, but I will find out by inspecting under the rear hatch for holes. Jay  |
