[DeTomaso] Pawn Stars

Mon Feb 1 18:45:50 EST 2010

Great News!!!!     -----    It just dawned on me that my car will be ready to roll in a couple months.  And, I read on the forum of other cars that are being built, re-built, up-graded, etc.
-------    So, my point is that at some point in the future, ALL Panteras will have been completed - no more Garage Queens - except for the times that someone is temporarily up-grading.    ---Bill (peering into my crystal ball) Lewis
