[DeTomaso] Flashback!

[Ken Green]

The orange Pantera belonged to a guy in his mid to late 60's in early/mid 1976.  I think the red Maserati has a Corvette engine and the owners of the two cars were friends, maybe from the South Bay area.  I vaguely recall that the owner of the Orange Pantera also owned a mid 60's big block Vette we talked about. 
 
I think Gary Hall was driving the black Mustang "race car" in one picture.
