[DeTomaso] Dinner with Sigbjorn....

Sat May 2 10:38:30 EDT 2015

We are at talking a late 60's E-Type here, I don't think the Jag crowd are as quick to rewire everything or put big wings on. There is value placed on originality, which I think we are now seeing in the collector Pantera market.
So how many cars in that era had manual fans? How many people forgot to switch them on? I'm showing my age, but it's stuff we grew up with like manual choke, headlight dip switch on the floor, windshield washers you actually pumped. You didn't forget as it was part of your everyday driving routine.

Absolutely! How many stories have you heard where people forget to switch on their fans? Again, as silly as needing to switch on the oil pump....and almost as costly. Both of my fans operate by thermal switch....just like modern day cars.

</div>Marshall,

You have a '71 pushbutton which (stock) has one of the two radiator fans controlled only by a switch. Have you changed to the later all-automatic operation?

Having a manual switch to turn on cooling fans is about as sensible as having a manual switch to turn on your oil pump. But that's just me. 

Sounds like you guys had quite the adventure! Have a safe trip home!!

</div>Marshall,

You have a '71 pushbutton which (stock) has one of the two radiator fans control
led only by a switch. Have you changed to the later all-automatic operation?
