DeTomaso Automobili was relying on Ford for engines used in the Mangusta and had purchased the Ghia design and coach-building concern. After Ford’s failed attempt to purchase Ferrari, the Ford-DeTomaso marriage seemed quite natural, so a business / purchase arrangement was consummated and work began on a new mid-engined GT. It would be marketed in the U.S. by Ford’s Lincoln-Mercury division. There you go anyway - it would make for an interesting priject - morso an original pantera with a twin turbocharged 1uz in place of the ford v8 THAT would be fun [Report message to a moderator]
