WAY off subject, but the three sea-vans Wilkinson bought from Santiago apparently contain a LOT of the 'extra' Mangusta parts some of us saw in the usually locked warehouse next to the old assembly building in Modena.... including a half-dozen Mangusta front and rear body clips and other stuff that's not seen the light of day since the late '60s. We all know that A. DeTomaso never threw anything away that could be sold. Well, here it is!
So I may be wrong and some of the NOS parts from early builds may actually become sort-of-available later this year thru Wilkinson. I seriously doubt the treasures stored there will be cheap, though. Steve says his first job is actually getting the sea-vans into So-Cal and the even bigger job is inventorying everything to see whats really there. All good questions to ask him at the San Diego Fun Rally later this month.
