[DeTomaso] Rare Colors

[MikeLDrew at aol.com]

Hi guys,

Reference the Pantera photo I posted in my POCA album--I surmised that it 
was one of the super-rare yellow-gold cars.   I subsequently heard from 
others who thought it was a repaint in a non-factory color.   I do know one 
fellow whose Pantera WAS yellow-gold but it's been replaced straight yellow.   I 
sent him the photo, and he replied:

So there you go...the hunt for an original yellow-gold GTS continues....
