...to my thinking, just darn lucky we bought a Mangusta at a price that a Ferrari Boxer never sold for then...and yeah, when you look at the cars (and maybe even plural "cars") that $235k could buy, the truth is that a Mangusta is not really rare, there are available, beautiful car(s) taking up space in somebody's showroom. And the thought I could trade a Mustang-engine for a V12 Ferrari just teases me.
Still compared to say, the price today for a rusty Porsche 356--the Mangusta is a remarkable thing. I'll bet a picture underneath this car (at least from hints of the rear suspension that was photo'd) , looks like it is suppose to...maybe even better. And even that Ferrari is probably on 30 year old brake hoses and 20 year old tires.
Hopefully the owner here feels the passion to change the fluids and go have fun with this beautiful car--it may be a relief that its not worth as much as he was afraid, and can treat it instead like a car and not a life-threatening investment. But for god's sake, go get an Austin Mini knob for the heater flap
