[DeTomaso] A one of a kind

Sounds good of course you left out the best part about "not finishing" Silver State or sitting on the side of the road without any oil pressure, air dam or a taller 5th gear either.  ;-]>

MD, driving to the beach on Thanksgiving with no air dam, great oil pressure and a taller 5th gear I didn't need!

My understanding of the history of this car is the car was stripped and converted for racing literally right off the docks (Long Beach).
It had a 454 Chevy and full roll cage when I rescued it in 2000 after it sat for over two decades. Aside from the doors and rear deck there wasn't much original left over.
I don't know what the real collector value is for a pushbutton, nor for any Pantera other than documented vintage racers. Nor do I think we will ever see prices similar to a '70 Cuda.
Power to those who want to restore them to the factory look.
Robert DeLaurantis had a pushbutton and it was the biggest piece of crap ever, always breaking down.
I'm more interested in making them faster.
 
DanTomaso Courtney, owner of the world's fastest (and ugliest) pushbutton (175 mph this past SS with no air dam, no tall 5th gear and never even going full throttle due to low oil pressure.)
