[DeTomaso] Pantera GR4 Restoration Photos

[Thomas Tornblom]

For comparison we will pick up our first brand new car on Friday, a VW  
Golf VI, which with some options (lots of nice stuff is standard),  
removable hitch, block and cabin heater and winter wheels, ends up  
just shy of $25k, including all taxes.

I'm really glad I don't have to buy cars in the other Nordic countries.

The Pantera would have 505 bhp if it had the same power to size ratio  
as the Golf :-)
