Reply to "Mangusta #8MA1074 - for sale in Michigan (Craig's List)"

...some details, I wonder are best ignored But on '1074, I thought some of the paint lines were interesting...I know there are precious few Geese with original paint, so knowing if the 'blackout' is correct here or not is still a fond guess. But in addition to that stripe on the door edge, note the blackout on the sides of the spine (picture above), and along the perimeter of the bulkhead/roof edge, halfway thru the engine cover latches, and halfway (!) around the perimeter of the trunk. '1074 had definitely been topped out after the factory (there was a smudge of red paint on the windshield rubber). 

  From what I can tell, the factory pretty much nuked the car with body color and then followed up with undercoating (esp, the trunk under the felt was painted body color). Interior of the engine covers was not body-color, only undercoated, and interior only caught some overspray)... I've seen plenty of Geese blacken out the interior of the spine (and looked at original pictures to believe the interior was body color). The details here might be a bit obsessive for most owners...and would be interested if anybody with a very original car has the same markings.
