Only 400 Mangustas were built and just 200 made it to the states. In Europe, they got a hot 289 V8, but we ended up with the larger, but less powerful 302.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-37220\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/lust-for-sale-1970-de-tomaso-mangusta\/attachment\/31466\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-37220\" title=\"31466\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ridelust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/31466-500x374.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The mid-engine chassis flexed like a wet noodle and the terrible 32\/68 front\/rear weight distribution meant extremely sketchy handling.
