I know which one I prefer... but, I offer you this fine comparison of racer versions of DeTomaso's best so you can make a choice which one you'd buy if you won the lotto

https://straightspeedphoto.blogspot.com/2025/12/1970-de-tomaso-mangusta.html

A total of 401 De Tomaso Mangustas were built between 1967 and 1971, with approximately 150 designated for the European market and the remaining 250 allocated for North American customers... I only knew of 2 in San Diego, this one's new to me, and I just learned, it's stayed in the family for decades

This lucky guy's uncle owned the car, didn't have kids, and passed it onto his favorite nephew... who, doesn't have kids, and is very likely to be a favorite uncle too! It hibernated in his uncles garage for 30 years

I get a kick out of finding these rare original stickers on windshields. 

I didn't know that a Mangusta had a spare between the engine and bumper, and the tool kit has a compartment in front of the drivers side rear tire

the DeTomaso Longchamp was designed by Tom Tjaarda of Ghia

ever notice that the Cobra wasn't allowed to race in the Can Am?

and that was why Shelby and De Tomaso made the P70

A moment of racing Mangusta appreciation

they were poorly designed, but look so damn cool.

The engine put 68% of the weight in the rear, which screwed up handling, and cooked the driver

designer and illustrator Maxime de Keiser took it upon himself to envision what a modern interpretation of the Mangusta might look like back in 2011

http://viralthings.tumblr.com/post/132704904824/new-delorean-concept is clear that the source I got this from had no idea what the hell they were talking about when they called it a new Delorean concept... as it was already 4 years old, and a De Tomaso

did you know that the DeTomaso brand was sold off, and traded many times since Don Alejandro's death?

After the bankruptcy of the company after the death of Don Alejandro, the rights of the brand passed from hand to hand.

Until finally the Italian businessman Gian Mario Rossignolo, who was sentenced to house arrest for an embezzlement of almost 20 million euros for the diversion of funding from the Italian Government and the European Union.

So then an  Italian Court sold the rights to ownership of the De Tomaso brand to the Chinese group Ideal Team Venture for one million euros.

Don Alejandro was born in Argentina, and exiled for political reasons in 1955. His son Santiago joined him and settled in Italy in 1973. In the 1990's they bought a 500 year old convent in the center of Modena, and created a hotel.

CanalGrande was inaugurated a hotel of classic style, and after his death in 2003, the hotel is run by his son Santiago , who is also in charge of guarding his father's collection of cars.

De Tomaso Mangusta (Mongoose)

I've never heard a good word about these mechanically, just wretched shifters, cramped foot wells, etc etc... but damn it looks good
