I took my Cobra to a Car show in Indian Wells this weekend (just east of Palm Springs). The Cobra got its' usual amount of attention, but the car that COMPLETELY overshadowed the Cobra was parked next to me, a 1969 DeTomaso Mangusta. This was the precursor to the Pantera.

The Mangusta has the rear engine similar to the Pantera, but with center-hinged "gull-wing" engine cover doors.

The man's info sheet said that 450 Mangusta were built, and that approx. 150 cars remain as registered vehicles.

People absolutely flocked to check out this Mangusta.

(If anyone could post a pic of a Mangusta, please feel free to do so.)
