Nice color and the license plate completes the rear of the car perfectly.
Congratulations! You're officially the envy of most all of us - 2 Panteras AND a Mangusta!
Hold on to that wife of yours - she must be one special lady to understand and indulge your passion for DeTomaso automibiles.

Yep, congratulations Dennis - looks great in yellow.
Incidentally, why do you think the chassis number is peculiar?
Enjoy...
Best,
Ben

Well said! Now you need to work on a larger garage! Nice photos, but a bit on the small size.
Congratulations on the new car Dennis. So how many Geese are there in Hawaii? Could yours be the only one?

Speaking with a couple of guys, we figure that the chassis were pre-stamped with the "8MA" as a chassis/production ID and that the additional numbers were later added as a VIN number. Mine must has gotten mis stamped.
There is one other Mangusta here in Hawaii that I know of. It is an elusive goose, I've been trying to track him down for over a year. I have a lead on him and should contact him shortly. I've been told that it is with its original owner and is his daily driver.
Another interesting fact about my car is that it was once stolen. The thieves couldn't figure out where to put in gas and it was recovered intact, out of gas at a gas station.
Sorry about the photo sizes, I'm limited to web space by my carrier. Its a trade off, if I go bigger, the quality goes down.

Actually, there are three geese in Hawaii. Two on Oahu and one on Kauai. The Kauai owner doesn't answer communications though.
Timpo,
Where are you located? I know of at least one Mangusta in Canada.

My Mangusta is MA 1108, I found the other car number is MA 816. It is orange and mostly stock and driven regularly. I do not see his number on the Mangusta Registry.
