re: Mangusta was Alessandro DeTomasso---not Maserati
BTW, the Maserati held up great---to a point. When I had trouble the only source for parts was from a New Jersey company that seemed to operate from the position of a monopoly distributor. I always suspected the gentleman had a crooked nose and lived next door to Tony Soprano.
When that car died it was interred above ground in a friends storage for about five years and eventually traded for a very good bottle of Irish Whiskey. That car oozed quality from to two-toned leather interior during its life, and past the grave where it still provided utility and class.
