>>>Remember, the early Panteras came with beautiful two-spoke Ferrero 
wheels.   For reasons unknown (perhaps a childish interpretation of crash 
protection laws?) Ford had those beautiful wheels pulled when the cars reached the 
USA, and fitted them with Capri wheels.   Bev Hall told me that Bill Stroppe 
had a huge pile (hundreds!) of those Ferrero wheels stacked up in his shop 
for years, and then he finally took them to the dump! :<(

Now they are worth thousands....sheesh!
