mangusta

1970..? he has a looooong store on this car!! getting all his paper work together for me..tld me he paid 12,995 for it in the early 80s.this is the 2nd one he has owned. worked on wall st. back then. GREAT story teller. told me at one point he cracked the bell houseing and had to wait months and months til the made a new one or cast one something like that...more to come..

Baberz.....

That is one big pile of stinky poo.....

You "may" have 8K worth of rims, but do you have $8K worth of buyers????? A few months ago, you couldn't get rid of an entire set of 4 rims for $1000.... These two guys fighting for this rim on ebay are a fluke IMHO.

Looks like it is chassis number 1006 or 1008. Couldn't quite read the SN on the tag.

It is missing the 4V manifold and carb. MIssing at least the two small windows in the hatches. Air cleaner???

It IS rusty. You can bet that the ZF, after sitting outside for this many years is probably a mess inside, as is the motor.

This is just sad to see......

If you have ever restored a JAG or a Ferrari of the days, you will understand the dilema in trying to restore one of these. Only types that seem to want to tackle this is the guys in the UK.

I can talk to you more about these cars if you need. Send me a private email and I will send you a phone number back.....

Cheers!!! Still a nice find!
Steve

Steve you are correct, he has the intake and carb(someplace) the air cleaner is in the trunk.the small windows are also with the car...If you had to what would you say a fair price is? thats the air cleaner under the mat?

MY GOD! What a mess!! I wish I had found that though.... I would have bought it on impulse..... as a matter of fact if its cheap sell it to me. I can wrap myself around that for the next 10 years.

Whats cheap??Please make me an offer! Apparently its NOT worth as much as i was thinking.

" i'll let you know how i make out in about 2hrs..Thanks Phil in NY." Phil ... I;m not looking to get into another project .. but it sure sounds like we are near each other ...where in NY are you .. I;m 2 hours from albany also ? lets see some pics of your Pantera ?

Ron

ron , thats the pictures. i'm 40mins north of albany (kingston)

From past posts, the Goose experts say parts are not available ie: windows or what parts are out there are very expensive. At the very least this car should serve as an organ donor. Very sad to see a rare car left to die in a dirt field. Chuck

yes! a shame to say the least..

last one

Kingston ... 45 min north of me ... if you get this car at agood price .. it looks like an organ donor to me also ...

Ron

HI I just restored my 1974 pantera . It was in vary good shape when I started .Did most of the work my self and it cost me over 37,000 . that car will cost 70,000 to 80,000 to restore

Thanks for all the input..BUT NOW is the time to let it ALL hang out!! PLEASE you will not hurt my feelings. Whats it worth? I don't have the money to lay out then have to sit on this car to long. I understand its beyond repair. So call your friends around the globe and lets see if we can put it to some good ...Let's start with the side glass in the wings (don't know the name for them)

Just out of curiosity, does the car have a free and clear title, or is NY different in not having titles after a certain amount of time? I know that some states out east are different than where I am from when titles are involved.

clean open registration, pre 74 no title's here in the great state of taxes. oops i mean New York..UPDATE...local fellow here interested in buying this car from me offered 7500 truth be told that 500 more then i paid..should i say good by or good buy??

Just guesses here, but here are some things to consider if you were to part out the car...

Mangusta wheels: $2500
Side Glass (in good condition): $1000
Windshield: $1500
ZF Transaxle: $5000
Misc body bits/surfaces: $2000 (or more)

But, if you can't afford to sit on it too long to part it out over time the quick and easy solution is the $7500 offer and you're done with it.

fwiw....I have $2,500. burning a hole in my pocket right now for anyone who offers up a clean set of Mangusta wheels.

off topic, sort of, but getting opinions....my goose is NOT original, so don't use that angle when you reply, but with the tan and brown interior, I was thinking that an original set of wheels would look pretty SICK in gold? I know silver would be awesome, but what are opinions of gold on these magical wheels that I don't have yet :/

Old school. Now you need to find a set of Dunlop GT Qualifiers. I think the shade of gold would need to be exactly correct, almost a "magnesium Halibrand" color. This particular shade of gold is a little too dark imho.
