Reply to "~8ma800 Mangusta at Beverly Hills car club"

Apparently the car was spotted on a flat bed earlier in the week... headed for Sin City!  C4 still not motivating the car forward or rearward. Exhaust manifolds still on backwards.  Half of floor still falling out.....half still repaired.  Still some shade of green paint!  Probably very nice looking in it's day!



Would the real #800 please stand up?!

I have a note in my files that Richard Spratling owned #800 in this pic.  What I found in a search came up with this "2009 RS Design Corsa Spyder" sez it has a tube chassis, and a ZF 5 speed with CV joints.....nothing else about anything deTomaso....which matched this picture!Spratling_Mangusta_8MA800_1

I don't really believe that this car was built out of an old Mangusta......unless they reused a couple of metric bolts here and there and an old -1 ZF with new CV's adapted to it???

I don't know if Spratling owned a Goose...or owns.....or how this picture came to be assigned to #800 in my files.   Could be a WILD GOOSE CHASE!!!

Can anyone elaborate on this car???

Cheers!
Steve
