Hi Rob,

I don't know how much of a community we are as we are spread all over the
world, but we are one hell of a Family!

So much so that after guys sell there cars they are still involved with the
forum. For what reason, Family!

Like many Italian Families it very hard to get out of them!

Welcome into the Family, Rob!

Dear POCA members,

I would like to introduce myself, I am Robert Garven and live in Ventura,
CA. I have had an award winning 1975 Ferrari 308 GT4 Ferrari for the last 20
years and 
I have decided I wanted to add a Pantera to my garage!  I have alway wanted
one and hopefully there is one out there for me! Here is an article on my
car that 
was in the magazine Forza. I have done all the work on this car myself, but
now looking for a car that someone else has sorted out as I want a very nice
car I drive.

I just joined POCA and hoping the members here might know of a car available
and help me locate the Pantera of my dreams. I have done quite a bit of
research and 
looked at many cars but have not found the right one yet.

I am looking for the nicest 1971 Pre L Red/Black Pantera available. I would
consider other cars but hope to find a car just like this one online with no
front vents and a 
flat trunk. My preference is for originality but tasteful upgrades and or
mechanical updates such as engine mods, cooling updates, SS cooling tubes
and water tanks, 
and of course updated chassis strut bars, etc are acceptable and are even
desired.  I even like the painted engine bays but not looking for a wildly
modified car. I love the 
simplicity and beauty of the design and would love a car like the one I
found pictures of online. I am searching all over and have a few leads, and
have a few very kind friends
looking also, but finding the right car will not be easy and I hoped that by
this email someone here can help, so I can become a part of your community.

Sincerely,

Rob
