I believe it's a gaudy Italian body on.......a Mustang engine and interior. That is why they never really made it here or across the pond. In one of my car mags, there is a dealer somewhere that still has a boatload of new ones (albeit several years old) that he is STILL trying to unload........ Longtime dealer and importer, Kjell Qvale, had helped revive the Mangusta name with an exotically styled, $78,900 front-engine, rear-drive 2+2 sports car powered by a 4.6-liter Ford V-8. Alot of folks will recognize the typical Ford interior minimally changed to look slightly Italian. Its three-position "Rototop" roof system allows it to be configured as a coupe, a targa, or a convertible. This message has been edited by YellowFever on 02-12-2006 at 07:53 AM

There is alot more Ford to it then just the engine. Think Ford Mustang with a different body and seats. Look at the dash and see if you don't see what I am talking about.

When people complained of the lack of comfort,,,,,the salesman said: Won't matter,,,you will not own this car for long, lol.
CTProwler Prowler Junkie Posts: 3915 From: Sherman CT USA Registered: NOV 2002	posted 02-13-2006 01:40 PM Sold mine-- (Divorse-Wife isn't getting it!)Nice car, gets as many looks and questions as a Prowler. Ford Cobra engine, quick. Only a 284 made so there can't be lots of new ones around--Maybe 6-8? Real nice Italian leather interior. You can pick up a real low mileage one around $36-45000. Only problem is don't crash it. Assembly Plant is closed only a few parts available. ------------------
