I remember seeing the "show car" Mangusta. It had a mocked up instrument panel and virtually a glass roof.
Does anyone know if that car was ever sold to anyone or if that roof was ever built into a "production" 'goose?
Does anyone know if the 'goose can have it's leg room altered (added to) like the Pantera can?
Doug the prototype to which you refer never caught on. They showed it at the LA auto show but reaction was mixed. It was one that got away too. It was photographed ten years later on the streets of Milan, and the owner drove it every day. He fabricated a removable hard top, maybe because he broke the glass?? Who knows. He had also put a really gay looking hood scoop on it. Totaly screwed up the car.
But looking at the photos, it looked a lot like what they did with the new Spider versions of the Ferrai 430 and the Guiraldo spider. It had lovers on a flat back end that Ferrari later used on their testerossa.
Realy sad what happened to that car.
