That is a very realistic idea. That glass is probably not perfect but I was speaking to Steve Wilkinson a while ago and he was looking for a set to do exactly that. He would probably replace it with a new set in "payment" for having the old set as a start.

Steve Wilkenson has done that using as a mold the windshield of 8MA1126 which I now own .I have a spare windshield from Steve that came with the car. The new windshield fits perfectly. Jerry

Phil, What Jerry is saying is that the car that had a stellar amount of $$ poured into it is 8MA1256, his silver 1970 Goose.

I sent you a Private Message but received no reply. I assume you still haven't decided what to do and I hope you will let us all know when you do.

Phil,
Can you contact me, I am interested



Thanks,

Hello Baberz02 I have sent you several messages to buy the car but you dont reply.public or PM. What do you want to do?

Don't feel bad Jerry. He hasn't replied to any of my PMs either. But really, don't you have your hands full already?

Mark

Hello Mark Yea but I'm buying everything to try to find an original air cleaner and this car may have one. I'm going up to pick up the other project next week ,guess what: no original air cleaner! Jerry

Hello all The story about David Carridine's death ( no way suicide)on Larry King yesterday showed the green Mangusta several times in the clips from kill Bill.The car is in Mangusta International also. Jerry

Phil,

Did you take the other pictures down???

If not, the new system I have may need a something-or-other to be loaded......stupid computers....can't figure out how to do what I want them to do.....

Steve

Do anyone now what´s happen with 8MA1006?

8MA 1006 is one of about half the known Mangustas that is unlisted in any of the three DeTomaso Registries, due to owner inaction. From the serial #, it was a 1970- build. It's possible it could be either a late import U.S- spec' single headlight car, or a Euro-spec double-headlight assembly, and nothing more is known. If you locate it, please mention to the owner the advantages of listing the car in some Registry.

Yikes, my neck of the woods too. I could always find room for a 'goose somewhere?

This is a car in very very neglected condition. If someone had a new body available, this would be the proverbial candidate for moving the old vin tag to the new body and re-stamping numbers in the frame...... "we cut off the rust and welded on new sheet metal"....

I doubt that any of us will see this particular car back on the road in our lifetimes.....unless it is in pieces an on many cars!

A true shame....

Steve

I can't think about this any more. It is too upsetting.

I went to a town auction once where there was a theft recovery on a '72 Pantera.

It had been sitting in the town impound yard for about 5 years and was sunk into the mud about 5 or 6 inches.

Of the two or three hundred cars there, most buyers were there to see the Pantera.

It got sold for $7500 because the guy wanted the transaxle.

As I was leaving they were winching it out of the mud up a flatbed. I was watching to see if the car would break in two.

Very sick feeling to even think about it really.

Most people just don't understand the fragility of these cars sheet metal and even the monoque.

Pitty. Most of these smucks should have stayed to their Camaros. That's about the level of intelligence they are capable of.

Even Corvette owners have some intelligence if you closely look for it.

I saw a picture of the manufactor plapue of this car. It's in German language.
So I think it was first registed in Germany.
