    It seems that way.

    I now have the car registered and i've got fresh Avons on Group 4 wheels. The originals will be repainted and mated to Michellin XWX. I'm really enjoying getting to know the car, its a great cruiser..

    I am looking forward to seeing all of your Mangusta's done and runnin around Peter, congratz on another!

    ...I have just listed this piece on ebay;

    Detomaso Mangusta Reproduction Color Workshop Manual | eBay

    I am also offering up two VERY exceptional pieces of Mangusta history...an original and MINT condition sales 'brochure' from British Motor Car Distributor, San Francisco; first photos are of this piece...

    ...and a MINT condition original owners manual.

    Both are authentic and in absolute BRAND NEW, stored in protective plastic their entire lives, secured nearly 20 years ago when you could find something like this BRAND NEW. Let me know through private message if there is interest in these items before I go public/eBay. Aloha

    all that literature SOLD...still blowing out Mangusta 'stuff'. Anyone needing TIRES, consider this set, languishing in my crowded garage!

    4 years ago I put together a 'cost no object' set of wheels/tires for my show Mangusta. After researching for a while I chose Roger Krause Racing in Castro Valley, CA as my destination. I could drive there from Tahoe and see my options. I found that this set of Dunlop vintage tires enabled me to have matching fronts, rears AND spare (which is a very skinny version that fits under the wing engine covers). To me, the ultimate tire set and I paid dearly for them. ($2,088. for the set). Later the car sold overseas, purchaser opted out of the tires, so they were never used, never saw the road. Still wearing production stickers, etc. Yes, they are a few years old (2009 tires). Gonna price them at $900. That's 5 tires, complete COOL set for a 'goose'. Expect up to $200. to ship, they are big and bulky, especially those rears. Mike S.

    'Velocetwo' your pm box is full....here is the message I just attempted to send;

    After coffee and thinking it over....8's and 9.5's I think is more accurate :)
    Hope they work out, your project sounds awesome, would love to see them on THAT car. I transacted with James Phelan back in the late 80's - co-owned one at the time.

    *there is one person who inquired, who is checking fitment issues...and please do the same. My car was wildly custom right down to front wheel wells that accommodated big front wheels, make sure these aren't too big for yours if possible.

    Should work, great! I'm gonna be travelling in a few weeks, BUT can set them aside for pickup - pm for email, phone, etc.

    I just think this particular car will do it. It's an 'off' but likeable color, seems to meet the criteria for originality, etc.
