[DeTomaso] My my my goose for auction

[Asa Jay Laughton]

I'd honestly be more interested in the real providence of it.  Was it 
repainted?  Did someone add the graphics later?  Or was this really a 
factory one-off, maybe a promotional, or prototype DeTomaso took to some 
shows prior to real production?

Yes, it has some ugliness dripping off it, but if it was honestly 
original... would you -really- want to give it a make-over?  It was 
honestly -original-, it might indeed be worth Batmobile prices.

Otherwise the owner is just batshit crazy,
Asa Jay
