Jerry,
We did the PR for Panoz Auto Development back when they were still building street cars for the public. I am also in Dallas.
The factory in Atlanta still does some refurbs on cars and also has a reasonable supply of parts. Most of the equipment, though, did come from Ford sourced vehicles. Since there was a fairly strong Panoz dealer for a while (Lineback) in the market, there are actually a few cars around. Plus, John Leveritt Sr. at Panoz usually keeps track of the locations of the cars they built (less than 300 Esperantes to my memory).
It is a good sound car that can be maintained easily and is rare enough that people don't know it well. I owned one for a couple of years. I had the factory tuner (he was at the campus then) put 4:10 gears and a 6 speed Tremec in it. The combo really helped with both launches and with RPM's.

Subject: [DeTomaso] NPC Collective question
While in Dallas this weekend, my son asked what would be a good toy for
him to start playing with. Since he is 40 I recommended a Panoz
Esperante. They seem to be down in value because of the economy and
have Ford power like my favorite cars. I am wondering if I have once
again given him a mental block to play with?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Back in Oklahoma,
jerry knotts
