    I know there was one with a glass sunroof, I met the guy driving it, a jet jockey / tennis player/movie star
    Later I think there was one with a glass sunroof in San Diego, a guy who owned three of them, His was hit hard in front and he intended to restore it.
    What I am curious to know is if either of them is the one once owned by horse team owner.industrialist Amory Haskell Jr, of New Jersey, killed in a plane crash while out signing up DeTomaso dealers. His also has black painted lettering like the prototype. How did he get one so early in ;69--his family bankrolled DeTomaso.

    While attending a local cruise night in my Mangusta recently I was approached by a lady who was very excited to see my car. I was impressed with her knowledge of Mangustas, and she explained that she grew up in Red Bank and used to see "Mr. DeTomaso" driving around town in a Mangusta. I assume what she saw was one of the Haskells. I got separated from her before we could talk further, but ours is a small village and I am hoping to cross paths with her again.

    The sunroof car in San Diego would have been the Dino Martin Car, it was modified in California, accidented sat for many years and was sold to a gentleman in Australia around 2010.
