[DeTomaso] Pantera Music Video

[Richard Barkley]

I got in contact with Warren Fu, the director of the video, and he 
confirmed what someone on the PI forum suggested, that the car was 
#3745, which, appears to have be destine to be THE CAR. Here's what I 
posted on the PI forum:
---------------
I just heard back from Warren Fu, and yes, #3745 was the car. The fact 
that they were able to get a Pantera (a Jag xj220 was lined up after 
they were unable to get a Pantera on short notice) was, really, a 
miracle. I sent him a couple of shots of #3745 from the ProvaMo.com 
registry for him to confirm. Read on:

Warren,
What and amazing story! I'll post it to the Pantera forums if that's OK. 
It would be great if the owner doesn't mind going public, but we respect 
his privacy if he doesn't want to. It would be posted to the closed 
Pantera forums, but there is no guarantee the information would stay 
there. One of our tribe went to the DeTomaso registry and found #3745 
below. This has to be the car. Registry entry's are kept anonymous out 
of respect for privacy.

In any event, thanks again for the great video. This is probably the 
best publicity the Pantera has gotten in many years.

fitting and I could tell they were disappointed that we didn't get a 
Pantera.

was a silver 1972 Pantera outside.
