IIRC, the Pantera had a large problem with Rust
from the earliest production. Perhaps that was improved as production
continued.....

I haven't seen one in years now, but the impression I came away
with was, crude, crude, crude. Then again, no worse than a lot of stuff at
that time. Exotic, well the ZF trans was nice. Handbuilt, yeah, no
one would ever question that. ;-)
Last time I saw a Pantera, was on
the highway. It was a later model, when I believe they were adding wings
and fender extensions, a la countach. (GTS ?) The driver was right
into it, sporting driving gloves with cutout knuckles and all. He seemed
like a pretty happy camper, and that's what it's all about I
guess.

THIS NOT THE FERRARI LIST? When did we starting worrying about interior
materials or not knowing what a de Tomaso
is? LS

It was pretty much a Pantera to the world.
Some liked the way de Tomaso rolled off the tongue, and thought it added a bit
of class to the car. Kinda like calling a bottle of table wine by the
grape it's made from. Sounds a bit classy, but it's still a bottle of
table wine. hee hee. Ed 911SC

Thanks for that - I should have taken the time to find out the
true name but
I went with memory and naturally I as wrong
;-)
Yeah, that's one of the best book buys I've made in the past 10
years or
o - every time I look through it I find new little
treasures of art....
Take care -
