Reply to "mangusta"

Actually Mark's idea is a GREAT one!! About 2 years ago I dragged my wife out to some remote place in long island to check out a Mangusta that was listed on ebay. This car was toast, I believe PanteraDoug and I spoke about it on the phone in great detail at the time. The owner (no title) leveled with me. He actually got paid to tow it from someone's yard. The car was JUNK, completely burned from the engine compartment forward....BURNED. The only thing left were the 2 fenders (barely repairable) and the ZF. I figured it was my duty to go see this car, as in how many times in my life would I get the chance?
I educated the guy on the car, I offered him $3500 in cash and he accepted with the caveat that we waited until the end of the auction. He did me the favor, I was dreaming. The car sold for around $10,000 sight unseen to someone in CA who sent a flat bed to pick it up. The very same car appeared back on ebay as the buyer got waaay ahead of himself in thinking to either restore it or make it a track car. I followed some of the auction on this car and I believe the guy didn't even recoup a third of his money.
Moral of the story.... Sell it on ebay. Or I'll offer you $3500 for it!
BTW, my wife still thinks I was insane for even contemplating getting involved with a car like that.
Good luck!
