There's something to be said for having unrealistic expectations--that guy 
eventually convinced a guy with a Ferrari 355 Spyder to trade straight across!   
He then turned around and sold the Ferrari for substantially more than he had 
ever asked for the Pantera. :>)

Having said that, the De Tomaso name and etc. are virtually worthless, as we 
have seen today, because of the way it has been neglected and run down over 
the years. 

Maybe we can convince Luca di Montezemolo to trade straight across for the 
Ferrari name? :>)
