It’s not necessary to answer Nick, but I’d love to know why?
I am a car enthusiasts. That is on my bucket list. A now friend posted a few of my cars that were at my home awhile back. I am a driver and rotate the cars.

Here is another one of my cars. Some do not like the Qvale Mangusta but I love them also. So much I bought few including one for my dad that lives out of state.

Good luck Nick!!!!
Great looking car. Back in 82 I remember crossing over from Canada to the US in northern Maine at a small border crossing and out back in a locked pen were 2 Ferraris and a Mangusta. I asked the agent what the deal was. He said that someone thought they would be able to smuggle the cars across the border at that small crossing and they got caught and the cars got impounded. I ask him what would happen to them, and he said they were heading to a crusher.
Oh the horror…
I found one on ebay & two on hemmings.

Thanks Dominic. I am looking for more driver quality and not necessayily one marked at high retail or perfect non useable condition. Those are always available. The red mangusta has been forsale for I believe 4 years now! If you see the video a guy posted about a few of my cars, it shows I drive the cars. My Daytona Charger is my take the kids to school car. Then I am back in the work truck. It was off the road since 1983. I really want driver or project and will pay.
What is your budget for this car? I would love to help. Good luck!
