I was in Jack Roush's motorhome at the Talledega event yesterday, and one of his very closest, long-time friends mentioned a Mangusta he had owned a bunch of years. (Perhaps 20 or more.) Yesterday he told me he wanted to sell it. This is what I was TOLD about the car, have never seen it - -
Presumably the last of the 200 or so he said entered the U.S. It is Yellow/Black, engine was rebuilt about 8 years ago, but only used for break-in miles until the car went dormant, stored inside. Bumpers missing, gas tank empty (so probably rusted), dent in front hood. Represented as unrusty, but clearly in need.
He has a few other cars he's looking to sell (age and some arthritis issues) but he told me "around $25-30k" to buy it.
I don't know this market and haven't any interest in the car, only the messenger here.
IF ANY OF YOU are seriously interested in the car, I can find out more, or perhaps you can englighten me on what to look for, report upon, discern.
Given the circumstances, I'd rather find out ONCE than peck him relentlessly for one more thing, so please fire away or respond to me as you choose.
Thanks.
