Mangusta PPI

Bill,

Look here for active discussion about that car- https://pantera.infopop.cc/top...83#28080909922946783

The car is listed in the registry. However, I can't access it at the moment and, therefore, have no details to share. Just shooting from the hip, looking at the photos, the car seems like a good buy. There may be some rust repair needed in the bottom of the doors.

Thanks scifi.
I may get a chance to view the car early next week. I’ll continue to review posts and any other Mangusta information to improve my understanding. Any tips on a physical inspection are appreciated from you and the group. The Serial # is 710 in case there’s any specific information on this car.
   On a related note, I contacted the individual at the “Mangusta Registry” via their Facebook account expressing my interest in obtaining the build sheet. I responded that 750 Euros was above my budget. Let’s just say I didn’t receive a warm response.
Thanks!
Bill

Ah yeah, I tried some very reasonable negotiation with that person. His response was to threaten to burn the documents. I believe much of what he is selling is fake anyways.

Bill, Provamo only lists "At one time in the mid 1990's this car was owned by Charley Allison in Colorado" and that the car is green, no photo.

But damn, glad that I was right on my guess (that it probably was 8ma710...) https://pantera.infopop.cc/top...58#26812249018395758 . Would love to capture the chassis number for their red car...

This person has a very bad reputation.

Thanks Rene.
great work on the Pantera!
I plan to see #710 this Monday. I’ll poke around the base of the B pillars and other “water/rust collection” areas.

good call on 8ma710 - I smiled when I got the # and knew you had called it 😎.

I’ll try to get the red car number and pic.
Colorado ownership might indicate some rust issues. We’ll see what I can find.
Most of the cars at BHCC can be quite a challenge.

Bill, good luck with the inspection next week.  Probably not a perfect litmus test but it would be nice if you could get a look at the chassis area directly below the fuse assy...there's a (transverse) box-section sheet metal element that may indicate what the rest of that area looks like.  Also on my car the base of the A pillars was somewhat compromised but hard to diagnose externally.  As for the B-pillar and rear bulkhead zone, corrosion started low (rocker area) and had worked it's way ~6" up the lowest part of "B-pillar" structure.

Thanks Nate. I’ll poke around that area😀
