Two more nice models Steve! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Mangusta (Mongoose)..........My money is on a 427 SC Cobra. :p

Fantastic! It seems that the engine cover opens on Mangusta?

Nice subject, the Pantera looks so much nicer without the giant wing and spoiler.

Thanks for the fine pics of two great models. IMO those are two of the most nearly perfect car designs of all time. Both must-haves! I wouldn't care much if they were powered by little 4 cylinder engines, just as long I could look out the window and see them parked in the driveway. Better than a Rodin!

Well this one has the extended wheelarches, but, at least it is without the rear wing :p

Did you know that the Cleveland V8's for the Pantera where actually made in Australia?

Must admit I didn't - but it would fit in with all those big Falcon V8s.
