[DeTomaso] Skyrocketing Prices

[jderyke at aol.com]

 Easy: Higher prices tend to attract "investors" rather than the traditional blue-collar guys and gals who fell in love with the Pantera for its potential as a fun driving machine. Plus, more expensive cars= more expensive parts, more expensive/restrictive insurance (if that's even possible!) and a bigger target for thieves. 

As most know, our '72 L is firmly in the silhouette-stock category, and it is more fun to drive than when it was all stock; faster, safer and handles far better. Yes- the highway mileage has dropped by 2 mpg since we bought it lightly used in 1980, but that may be because of the Gov't dumping poisons and weed killers in my gasoline.

...can i venture to ask...why is there a general sense of animosity [not against the emails in this link, but I have seen it regularly] against the value of our cars increasing? Surely we should all be excited about being the owners of such desirable and clearly valuable machines. Without sounding too trite, it will put a halt to any excessive disfigurations and loose disregard of purity that has unfortunately kept the 'pantera on the chain' until now.
