I have told people that the Pantera was second only to the Porsche 911 for continuous production.

Hi Chuck! Something else I like to mention about the Pantera when people
ask me about it, " as Road & Track said in a article a few years ago,
the Pantera is the longest running sports car bodystyle in automotive
history, 1971 to 1991".(explaining that the majority of the sheet
metal,glass, and trim will interchange thru the years). That really
blows away some off the "car buffs", that thought the Pantera stopped in
1974, I explain that when the Federal bumper laws changed in 1974,
DeTomaso kept building the car, for the rest of the world market! If you
want to repost this on the net, feel free to do so. Best regards, mike
gilmore, 1984, GT-5.

Dear Lash,
Here in Oklahoma and Texas, there are a *few* informed
citizens.
Then, there are those that approach you at the gas
station:"Oh,
yeah. My brother-in-law had one of them. They all came with
Oldsmobile
engines." In those cases, I assess that the situation is *hopeless*
and
try to extricate myself as quickly and politely as possible. Sigh.
Education and enlightenment are good, but are infrequently
attained with our Panteras and the general public.
Warmest regards, Chuck Engles

This is related to some recent discussion on another exotic car forum.
The topic was the history,heritage, and perception of Detomaso cars.
One interesting subject brought up was the level of knowledge of
Detomaso
owners and how/if any of that was being shared with spectators or
onlookers.
Case in point...I pulled into a local weekend Cars and Coffee. As some
people looked at the car, one commented with something to the effect of
..."cool, it's an American Countach..."
It just so happened that I had known this person for many years and
because
of that I gave him a 30 minute lecture.
Although I am *FAR* from an expert on any car history, I took the
opportunity to explain the background of the company and the car.
This conversation triggered more discussion with other people in the
crowd
who had no idea and thought it was something it clearly wasn't.
I've also recently met Detomaso owners who do not know much about their
car.
Everyone enjoys their car in different ways. Maybe some don't really
care
what it is or who made it.
I accept that. My dad had a car that he drove three times in 15 yrs yet
told
me he enjoyed just looking at it.
Out of pure curiosity...when someone walks up and looks at your Pantera
with
a comment similar to "cool, it's an American Countach..."
What do you respond with?

Subject: Re: [DeTomaso] Pantera Appearance in Hunter TV Series
I found all the Hunters episodes are on Hulu.com. There are seven
seasons
of episodes, so it's a matter of finding the right one. I took an
educated
guess and am watching episode 7 from season 2 based on the IMCD database
showing episode 2.07. It's a two part episode and I'm halfway through
the
first one. Nothing yet.
If anyone can zero in on the correct episode, the whole clip can be
seen.
