[DeTomaso] Pseudo-New Pantera?

[Bill Lewis]

Stephen, this may be another thread like the one recently on the POCA site about the worthiness of Mike Drew V/S the Profiles mag.           -----   I owned a Pantera, and was a member of POCA several years before I was able to get on the Prova site.  I also was told that I had to post photos and information before I could enter.  Actually, I did not know how to post pictures, and I also wondered about the rationale behind that rule.  Many times folks refer to cars on the site, and I do not even go to look at them.  So, let's see what's up.    --------Bill (not very techie) Lewis
