Unfortunately, a long time gone. The Mangusta had better lines but had even
more overheating problems. I don't know if it had the same bad design or
just airflow through the radiator. It was a LOT of fun to drive.
Interesting to think that the harmonic balancer was less than six inches
from the drivers right elbow. Thanks for the comments.

And the "processed" (by birds) fruit will take the paint off a car. Got
the primer, too. I was NOT happy. It was a recently painted Pantera.
Darn birds!!!...

You've got a Pantera? Way cool--always lusted after one of those or a
Mangusta when I was a kid.

If it's a regular driver and not a show car I'd bite the bullet and put
Imron on it. Doesn't give the same kind of finish as hand-rubbed lacquer
but it's nearly indestructible.
