  HIGHLIGHTS: SPECTACULAR CONDITION PREVIOUS LONG-TERM OWNERSHIP BY PAN-AM PILOT METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED FROM NEW ORIGINAL COLOR COMBINATION ONLY 63,704 MILES! ONE OF ONLY 401 BUILT, OF WHICH ONLY AROUND 250 REMAIN DOCUMENTATION INCLUDES AN OWNERS MANUAL, TOOLS, AND MODEL LITERATURE PERFORMS WONDERFULLY A COLLECTORS DREAM! OPTIONS INCLUDE: 302CI V8 5-SPEED ZF MANUAL W/GATED SHIFTER ANSA EXHAUST CAMPAGNOLO ALLOY WHEELS FERRERO WOOD/LEATHER STEERING WHEEL VEGLIA BORLETTI INSTRUMENTS POWER WINDOWS AIR CONDITIONING Designed by the great Giorgetto Giugiaro during his time at Carrozzeria Ghia in Turin, the Mangusta, which was first offered in 1967, showcases the classic Italian wedge shape with classic American muscle. Featuring a heavily reinforced chassis based on the Vallelunga sports car, the Mangusta comes equipped with a mid-mounted Ford V8 behind the passenger compartment, accessed by a pair of gullwing doors. In North American specification, the model utilized a 5.0 liter (302ci) V8, tuned to 230 horsepower, which is more than enough for such a lightweight vehicle. In addition, the Mangustas suspension is fully independent and features four-corner disc brakes and especially responsive steering courtesy of a rack-and-pinion steering gear - according to some period publications, the factory offered to set up each car according to their first owner's wishes, though not everyone took them up on it. Inside, a fully leather-lined interior with extensive instrumentation adds to the race car-like feel. In its time, the Mangusta offered supercar-level performance with incredibly stylish Italian flair. It is no wonder why examples are highly sought-after by collectors today. With only 401 built until 1971 and only around 250 known to remain in working order, any Mangusta is a sensational addition to any collection. The incredible 1970 De Tomaso Mangusta featured here is finished in its original factory color combination of Red over Black leather. This particular example has been meticulously maintained since new and was previously owned by a Pan-Am pilot for 14 years. This stunning De Tomaso drives and presents wonderfully, having only traveled 63,704 miles from new. Accompanying this investment-grade Mangusta are its owners manual, tools, and model literature! We are proud to offer this exceptional 1970 Mangusta to the most astute collector, investor, or enthusiast who appreciates this legendary model that perfectly blends American power with Italian design and craftsmanship.
