47 yeats old......deTomaso Mangusta, 'the poor man's GT-40', the concept arrived at between deTomado, Shelby & Guigiaro. Nothing is prettier than a Goose. This damn 4LG, i havnt got it down so i havent psyched how to export images, but if You dial in my thread hete on bbo, filler secrets 101, thete are pix of my old one
8MA-1148..........also on Blade's Ego Thread. GT-40 is all time favorite, is sexed up nicely, but it is not quite as pretty as Guigiaro's masterpiece pen of the Goose, ....the pose will never be dethroned in my bible When i get on a PC, ill post some pix here.
Google 8MA-1148, & She'll come up in web images......a sepia tone shot @ biker party and pix of the baby blue w/ fixed 7" single beam Marchals in a gravel driveway.......same pix are on diff threads here on bbo
Here She is........History babee! The poor mans GT-40. A 1970, one of 401 hand made prototypes.......He was broke when He produced them. A 71 sold last year, documented, for 332K. Not so po anymothat is moi betwern door & rear wheel opening.....@ the Hun's Memorial Day PokerRun in Sonoita,Az, May 1980. I put 11K miles on Her, started every time i turned the key, see more pix on Filler Secrets 101. I miss my 68 Coro post/bench almost as much as i miss my Goose, the Coro was better handler.....all the handling ills have been sorted, most of the problem was transaxle mounting issue, the contemporary pure race cars are indeed formidable. As i stated long ago....it is unrealistic to compare hand made cars to production.....completely different things, but i miss hell out of my post all the same.
