Reply to "Mangusta Hi po Engine"

Doug ... to many disclaimers .. but I see your point on the Racing effort a replacement parts etc. I'm pressing you guys to see what documentation is out there for a 289 hipo in a 67 Mangusta .. if I'm hearing you right ... none ... Detomaso is either with holding it, or its not documented properly or someone is harboring this info ? I'm sorry i have to say its documented somewhere and its being harbored ... that person I think is waiting for the right time to capitalize on the info.

Steve I see your point on the Italy production being all F'd up ... but in the US during production I'm going to have to say the USA made cars are pretty close to the records. I have 2 Marti reports on 2 Boss 302's and there were some options dealer added (and you can tell they were dealer added) and a few options I didn't notice like a special cooling and special suspension options I didn't notice until I received the reports.

I'm in the Originality mode right now restoring 2 cars ... so dont shoot me but with the value of these cars seeing a rise ... I;m sure this subject is going to come up AGAIN and AGAIN.

Heres what i got from the factory for 9138 ... its some thing which documents the car.
