[DeTomaso] Fun Rally Pantera Birthday Salute

[robert stewart]

Folks

An interesting note - after posting the video to youtube I recieved an email 
suggesting that there were some copyright concerns.  The music is a song from 
Heart which I have no doubt is owned by others.

The cost - well if you are in Germany you won't be able to access it.  For the 
rest of the world you will see advertisements playing on the bottom of the 
video.  I assume the proceeds will be used to pay the owner of the song.  All in 
all seems pretty fair.

Now the question is does the owner really get the right amount of money from 
youtube.  Don't get me started that is what I do at work.

You didn't need to attend the Fun Rally in Reno to know that this is the 40th 
birthdate of the Pantera.  The De Tomaso factory sold many different models of 
the Pantera over it's production run. As owners, many of us on this Forum have 
picked up where the factory left off and have continued to evolve the car to 
take advantage of new technologies and to enhance its reliability and 
performance.  These efforts have taken a car that while 40 years since initially 
sold is in many cases more capable today than when new.

Rob Pink (on the Forum as Rob Stewart) and I tried to pick up on that theme at 
the Fun Rally with this video that we put together with pictures acquired of 
cars attending the 2011 Fun Rally in Reno.  We tried to get a shot of every 
model and covered most.  There was a GT5s there; although we couldn't get a good 
shot of it as we never caught it outside the garage.  I also see we missed the 
placement of Kirk's '95 Pantera concept car - it shows at the end.  We 
endeavored to get the cars arranged chronologically based on restoration dates 
as well. It's mostly correct and I really have to thank Rob for piecing it 
together Late Saturday as we prepared for the evening Banquet with a hundred 
other items on the agenda.

BTW, The Pantera concept car by Kirk Evans is half built in his workshop.  I'd 
love to see him finish it and display at next year's Fun Rally.  If someone with 
deep pockets is fond of it, I am confident that he would accelerate the pace and 
build it for you.  :^) 


Hope that you like the video - Turn up the sound
