[DeTomaso] Model

[Christopher Kimball]

That's what I'm afraid of, but for that amount of money I'd like one that isn't trashed!  I already bought one Pantera that needed a whole lot more work than I expected.  Oh, wait--that was my full-sized one!

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.
