Yep, we’re doing this…


I’m back with another critique of a Chip Foose Draws video. These have been surprisingly contentious as some have accused me of simply hating everything the man does, which I’ve pointed out isn’t true. Look, despite what black-and-white thinkers try to push, I and anyone else can like some things the man does and hate others. This time Foose is revamping the DeTomaso Mangusta, which should be less controversial than him reworking the Pantera, at least by a little bit.

In fact, some of you might not know the Mangusta, a car with production capped at just 401 examples. It definitely has the look of a DeTomaso and is easily identifiable as the sibling of the Pantera, but Foose thinks he can make it look even better.

His working on the Mangusta isn’t Foose trashing DeTomaso. In the video he says he’s always been a fan. He even says the Mangusta is one of his dream cars. However, he can also see some room for improvement, even if it’s minimal.
