[DeTomaso] sacrificial Panteras - :-(

[Garth Rodericks]

I think Mike Drew had once told me it was a real honest to goodness Pantera. It sure looked like the real thing when I froze the video to watch the pieces fly off. I own it too, so I'll have 
to pop it into the DVD player and step through the explosion frame by frame.

 I own the Cannonball movie--it was that movie that ignited my love for Panteras (no pun intended)!  The explosion is not a Pantera, it's odd-looking contraption that is being towed behind the police car in the overhead "explosion" shot.

That movie was way too low budget to waste a Pantera!
