Plink! Plink! That's the sound of teardrops hitting my keyboard! -------------- My wife bought my first Pantera in 1976 and I sold it in 1977. Then I bought another one in 1983 - then when the economy crashed in Texas in 1984, we had to sell ALL our toys, but I kep all the paperwork, and in 2000 I started trying to find it. I contacted Judy at POCA, and she said, sure, here's the current owner in California. I emailed (actually wrote) him (Willie McKewen) and he said no he didn't want to sell. I contacted him once or twice a year, and finally he said yes, and thanks to John Taphorn, it is now in almost perfect shape and driven a lot. -------------------- In college, we bought a '63 Corvette coupe in 1965 and sold it in 1971. I kept the VIN and started searching for it a couple years ago, then finally used a search-guy service - he found it in Wisconsin and we bought it back. I took my pregnant wife to the hospital in it and brought her and a new son home in it, in 1970. I had a summer job and had to overnight at the job site, and slept in the back of it - ah, youth! --------Bill Lewis
