[DeTomaso] One-owner cars

[Curt Hall]

I went the Corvette route!
Like many I saw the new 1971 Pantera and wanted one...But at almost twice the price and Me with a lead foot (bad driving record) I just couldn't afford the Pantera! Looking back, I think I made the correct choice FOR ME! (please no hate mail LOL) Again, FOR ME, the Corvette was more comfortable, never over heated, and the air conditioning would freeze you out! AND Chevrolet never came to my house to fix something.
 
That said, I do love my 73 Pantera!
 
Besides Leisure Suits, Platform Shoes and Gold Chains just didn't seem to go well with the Pantera!? 
 
Flame suit on

I'm curious what the stories are about them (all - world-wide).  I just read an article (Newsweek? Autoweek?) and it said that a new Pantera was $9K, whereas a new Corvette was about half that.  Without getting into Pantera V/S Them, why did they buy a new, untested car for that much money - and then keep it for almost 40 years.  There's got to be some: "Now You Know The Rest of The Story" stories here.  Imagine who is buying the Bugatti's now: sports dudes, rock stars - but are they going to keep them?   ----Bill
