    The Mangusta was a transitionary car- more livable than the Vallelunga, but less so than the Pantera. They're very cramped inside, and a handful to drive at anything above the legal limit. The biggest problem with the car was the overall height forced the Ford 302 so low that the tranny bellhousing has about 3" of ground clearance making sleeping policemen positively fatal. #detomaso

    If ever there was a car that needed a nose spoiler...
    C'mon, are there no scales in Italy? Even the (apparently nearly impossible to fetch) spare is adding weight to the rear. I bet this thing handled like a shopping cart with a fat toddler in the seat and you standing on the lower crossbar. #detomaso

    Quite the tribute to the age - a great combination of the points and curves that were so stylish at the time.

    Car isn't too bad, either. #detomaso

    I remember regularly seeing a silver Mangusta around the University of Florida campus in the '70s. Absolutely gorgeous car, but by all accounts the Mangusta was extremely flawed - very tail heavy, a chassis with the rigidity of overcooked linguini, kit-car build quality, rust, and a tendency to overheat. Someone ought to revive this Giugiaro masterpiece with modern, reliable underpinnings (but please, not a Fiero, OK?). #detomaso

    I, for one, was completely won over with the gullwing engine bay.

    It's a gorgeous car, and a shame that these are relatively obscure. #detomaso

    I have passed that very car before on the New Jersey Turnpike a couple of years ago. I recognize the plate. It was being driven at the speed limit (+/- 5mph) by an older gentleman with a pipe. No joke. #1980maseratiquattroporteiii

    Unlike yesterdays truck - which is a truck - this one is actually meant to look really spiffy.

    Nice price. #1980maseratiquattroporteiii

    This Maserati will never be "sung" about by Akon and T-Pain.

    Which means it's cool. And nice price. #1980maseratiquattroporteiii
