While I was finishing the details of the Washington, DC DeLorean get together, I stopped by a friends car collection to have a good look at his new Quavle Mangusta. (Tim is one of the USA distributors, and along with every other Italian car, the DMC sits there) The Mangusta, Pantera, and Vallelunga were developed by Alessandro DeTomaso. Kjell Quavle of San Francisco Ca has revived the name and started importing the car to the USA. (The initial DeTomaso had a similar fate of the DMC.) Who knows maybe someone is crazy enough to revive the DMC. The Mangusta are similar in concept to the DeLorean and it is a very good looking car, just like the DeLorean. Many people in this area confuse the DeTomaso with the DeLorean. I guess that is where the question, "does that car have a Ford engine?" comes from. While on tour, Tim said that he has too many toys so he is offering a 1985 Black Maserati twin turbo complete for $500. (five hundred dollars). The car needs everything that a DMC would need, brakes, fuel, engine work, etc. The interior and body are in good condition. The DeLorean is offered at $45,000. The car has 22 miles, Early 81 without flap, Black, Automatic. Both cars sat for approx. 11-12 years. Please email me privately for more information, Sincerely, Mike Pack DOA 4743 VIN 3713
