[DeTomaso] I did actually get my Pantera back...

Congrats! Looks great. I picked mine up the night before last too. Also needs more work rather than being driveable as anticipated. But mine went down in 06 so I guess I have a few more years to go. What is the timeline for yours to be roadworthy again?

Some Pantera content. 

For those of you not aware of my long running saga... Short version:
I burnt a piston in March 2002 at TWS.
I contend it was my fault. Let's not get into the details. All that was hashed out 8 years ago...

That was the last time I drove the car before I went off to Brunei for a year... and then another...and another... etc.
Got back to the USofA in April 2007 and my Pantera was still not finished. Main job was rust removal, paint and a rebuilt engine.

While waiting, I played with my GT40 that I received in June 2007.

On December 19th, 2009,  I drove up to Castle Rock with truck and trailer and got my Pantera.
It was still not finished, but I got it anyway.

It's back in my garage.

Some pics on my website.

It's good to have it back, even though I'm still working on it.

FWIW,
Kirby
