Reply to "Mangusta Sold"

Just got the AC done and it is nice and cool and actually feels pleasant to drive. I just took apart all of the interior pieces and it all getting re-leathered. I did notice the top of the dash is actually a mouse hair material similar to early Ferrari Dinos and 365 BB. I took apart the gauges and cleaned all of the glass in and out so it looks like new again. I had a heck of a time locating rubber seals for the car. I tried Mangusta International and they were out of stock. Then I tried Hall Pantera and they only had the type of windshield moldings that had to be cut in four pieces and spliced together (too mickey mouse for me). I finally scored with mrfiat.com. They have one piece original reproductions from Italy for the Mangusta. Unfortunately all of the rubber pieces, windshield, rear rubber seals, trunk seal, inner glass seal added up to $1300. Oh well what can you do. Its not like there are a lot of choices. I wish there were replacement chrome pieces for the door as some of the trim has small dents in it. Unfortunately these pieces are not available. I did find nice Detomaso retractable seat belts from Hall Pantera and that will look much tidier than the floppy aftermarket belts installed. I'll post photos of the interior after I get all the pieces back. Keep you posted. Ben
