[DeTomaso] Auctions (Hot August Nights & Monterey)

Tue Aug 9 05:42:37 EDT 2016

One of them resided In a junkyard off Lamprey Rd in Newmarket, NH during the middle 1970s. I was a student at nearby UNH, we were out scavenging parts to keep someone's ride rolling when we stumbled upon it. Years later, after I'd learned what we'd found, I searched for it again. All gone. Junkyard too.
 There was a restored one at the Boston Cup car show held last year on Boston Common. Maybe that was it.
