I went and inspected the car. We were told the car had original paint and in my opinion it did not. My paint meter found the paint was very thick in places.
Headers and exhaust were after market. The intake and carburetor have been replaced. Only recently they became available with the car.
I was told that there was considerable time and money spent getting the car ready for sale hence the high price. I like the car and still think it's a great foundation for a concourse restoration. My business partner is not comfortable with the numbers or it would be in our shop.
Finding completely original Mangustas has been challenging
