Reply to "mangusta Rear "wings""

I disagree with you about the term US vs Europe. There was a difference in the flip vs 4 light versions. The US had a different engine. You can not use the idea of more of one vs another in the US as a point of reference, since 30 years has passed. Take the "only original goose" it was a US car, it had been here since 1969, and was shipped to Europe last year. Does that mean that should be counted as a Flip in Europ. I do not think so.

When you are talking about a car that is in such a small number, anything is possible. While in Italy this last trip, my aunt was talking about how they wanted to get rid of the last of the Mangustas as the production of the Pantera was taking off. She stated that they sold the last 50 or so to some people in Germany to finsh. So, I guess you could say that the last ones were German Spec. Big Grin As for deTomaso shipping everything they had to the US, this is not the case. Importing those last cars would have required more exceptions for the emissions. I remember as a child the amount of complaining that went on about each of the exceptions. I believe that Ethal, my fathers Secretary, had to go to Baltimore to get the paperwork for each "exception."

To answer the question, Santiago says that the front clip is for a 4 light version.
