[DeTomaso] Fwd: Model

[Tom Shinrock]

I believe Euro cars came with the center mounted roof antenna....at least my car did.   Most of the pictures I see of Euro cars have this type of antenna.

I believe the same to be true of hood vents.   Post Ford cars sold by Detomaso seemed to have hood vents.   Don't know if it was an option or a development to aid in cooling.   According to the pictures of my 73 Euro GTS when it was brought over from Germany, it did not have hood vents.

Mine came from Canada to Oz and also was also damaged – engine tie bar broken, antenna broken, underside scratched, wiper off, it had jumped off the plastic transport frame.

For our 26th wedding anniversary, my wife, Vicki, got   me one of those Kyoshi 1/18 scale Panteras.  I was excited to open it,   but when I did I found it to be pretty trashed.  The box looked perfect,   but inside the box, the car had a broken antenna, damaged headlight mechanism   (one headlight was floating around loose in the box), broken sway bar, broken   exhaust, and the left, back wheel was dangling by a spring.

I hope I   can get a intact replacement from Amazon.


>>>That is a common experience.  They got the design of the car all right, and the design of the packaging all wrong.  Unfortunately these are a very limited item and they are probably sold out.

Time to dust off your plastic model-building skills to try to salvage it. :<(

Mike (mine had a bent antenna, with the front spoiler, grille, and one wiper fallen off, but a bit of white glue sorted it out...)
