[DeTomaso] PUR GOLD sells for $50K at B-J

[Ken Green]

Gee Mike, whatever happened to the 12th commandment, thou shalt not speak ill of another Pantera owner's taste?
 
I think I would say that the way the car was done, it had the be flawless to look right.  Even a slight flaw would scream at an observer.  Not an easy to maintain build.

It was beautifully constructed, but absolutely hideously tacky and tasteless. 
  I'd be embarrassed to be seen in it.   

Too bad, because the quality was definitely there.   The paint was gorgeous, 
and the engineering was first-rate (fuel-injected 4.6L).   But if it was mine 
and I wasn't allowed to change it, I think I'd drive it straight into a
blast 
furnace. :>)

You can see it on the B-J website, Lot 963.

BTW the total BS custom Pantera (lot 967.1) sold for $43K plus 10% buyer's 
premium.   Speed was away at commercial when it came across the block.

Another case of somebody spending an enormous amount of money and effort to 
ruin a Pantera, and then taking an absolute beating when it came time to sell 
it. :<(

Russo & Steele has a beautiful Pantera and a Mangusta going across the
block; 
their website isn't updating the selling prices unfortunately.   I predict 
good results for both of those cars.
