[DeTomaso] Panteras VS. Other collector cars

[Douglas Kelm]

It is a fiberglass body, but is FAR from a "kit car" Practically every part of it, aside from the body, motor, trans and differential was fabricated from scratch and is unique to this car. Definitely not a catalog construction!

>From a marketing standpoint, street rods are notoriously poor on a return-of-investment basis, mostly due to owners and buyers diversity of tastes. The more you spend building them, the less percentage is going to be returned to you, unless you're in Chip Foose's league or building for a client. Building rods on spec is a sure way to turn a small fortune . . . . . into an even smaller one.

  Is this a genuine by-Henry steel Ford, or is it a fiberglass kit car?

  Looks really nice!

  Probably easier to get decent money for this car than a Pantera, in your neighborhood....
