Selling or Buying a 1967 De Tomaso Mangusta?

Produced between 1967 and 1971, the De Tomaso Mangusta was the second production road car made by the recently established Italian manufacturer. The Mangusta succeeded to the De Tomaso Vallelunga, on which it based its chassis. Mangusta is the Italian word for mongoose, which is the main predator of the cobra snake. This name was chosen because De Tomaso and Carroll Shelby planned to replace the Shelby Cobra with a racing car made by De Tomaso, although the plan didn’t go through. Originally powered by a mid-mounted Ford 289 V8 engine with an output of 306 hp, the US model was fitted with a Ford 302 V8 engine producing 221 hp. The De Tomaso Mangusta was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and can be recognized by its gullwing doors over the engine. Roughly 400 examples of De Tomaso Mangusta were built before the model was replaced by the De Tomaso Pantera in 1971.
