MANG Report post Posted June 10, 2009 at the DMV today to renew my drivers license and parked out front = something rare and beautiful - not often you see a sweet looking Mangusta roaming the streets. Owner is Steve B, he popped over for a photo shoot..a FULL 1% of the world's Geese population at my house today ps, we both need original rims!

lambolp400s Report post Posted July 29, 2009 Well, Mang, maybe not a fix for you, but my fix for the summer. Repainting my car. Suitably for this site in Lambo color Blu Caelum . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANG Report post Posted July 30, 2009 Well, Mang, maybe not a fix for you, but my fix for the summer. Repainting my car. Suitably for this site in Lambo color Blu Caelum . EXCELLENT choice....EVERYONE knows I am particular to that exact shade of blue (Peter's Countach ), again, excellent choice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANG Report post Posted July 30, 2009 Mike, i am here! nice cars looks like there is little love for DTs nice to see you over here Emilio the thing I am liking about them is that it is like no other 'collectible' exotic from Italy from that era....EVERY other car is meant to stay bone stock and there are of course different levels of restoration, but with the Pantera crowd, ANYTHING and EVERYTHING is possible..it is fascinating to see all the different mods and tricks people have constructed, some amazingly cool rides out there in DT land. Mangusta's are meant to be left stock (but BE REAL, there is no such thing as a 'stock' one and upgrades and mods are such an improvement), the purists still favor stock with Goose's....and then there is my goose! It is on a whole other level of custom and modded, mind blowing stuff! on another note, I now have two original wheels (one front and one rear), getting there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambolp400s Report post Posted July 30, 2009 Is'nt it good to have me back here after a few months away? Will pop in a Pantera here now and then, since noone else does:) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnbull Report post Posted August 2, 2009 This has to be one of the best looking Panteras I have ever seen. It was for sale a few weeks ago. Emailed owner, but was already sold.
