History notes: Sold 1/18/18 $249,700 https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/24452/lot/85/. Offered here is a fine example of the legendary, powerful and extremely stylish De Tomaso Mangusta. Consigned from a long-term California owner - with a taste for the finest European sports cars on the planet - This striking example is belied to have been delivered new into the Golden State, or at least resided here for several decades. This Giorgetto Giugiaro-designed and Ghia built supercar is known to have been owned by a Mr. Robert Piccinini of Modesto, California by the early 2000s. Although the Mangusta has received refurbishment work over the years, portions of it still remain in largely original condition. For example the interior, which appears to never have been redone, or many of the finishes in the engine and front compartment. The seats do show some wear, but could be kept as they are to save the patina. The Fly Yellow exterior has been painted in recent years, and shows beautifully. Chrome, bright work, glass, lights and lenses appear to be largely original as well.
