A 1967 De Tomaso Mangusta powered by a Ford 289 V-8 and clothed in Giugiaro-penned bodywork built by Ghia, this example is noted as possibly the sole factory-built Mangusta equipped with six headlights. Its documented history begins with a lengthy sojourn in the celebrated Rosso Bianco Museum of Peter Kaus in Aschaffenburg, where it accumulated minimal mileage over roughly two decades. The car reportedly retains its original blue paintwork and interior.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
