> I was in my early 20's living in Santa Barbara?and had been lusting after a maroon 73 DeTomaso Pantera at local specialty dealer's lot. I had?stopped to look at it a few times, but couldn't quite afford it - remember, I was in my early 20's (and saving to buy my first house).? It turned out that a business associate/customer of mine was a fellow gearhead, and a partner in the dealership. He told me all about the car, what they'd done to it, how long they'd had it, etc, and finally after another couple months of it languishing on their lot made me a lowball offer to sell it to me.? I almost pulled the trigger, but decided I needed to buy a house with a garage first!? 13 years later, I got my Pantera!? And I like the one I have now better than the one I passed on.
