DeTomaso Mailing List: February 99, Message #48

When I asked the guy that works on by BMW if he knew anything about 
Panteras he claimed that he onced owned a Mangusta that came from the 
factory with a 427 side-oiler. I assumed he was just a little confused. 
He did say that it was the only car he ever owned that really scared him. 
I don't think a 302 would scare anyone that was used to driving 
performance cars so maybe he was legit'.

All,

I've read that at least four Panteras were special-ordered from the 
factory
with big-block motors, but for the life of me I can't remember where I 
read
it!

At least one was a 427 side-oiler.  Dunno about the rest.  Could very 
easily
have been a 429 Boss motor.

Mike
