Tony,
If you visit the Registry, main search page:
http://www.detomasoregistry.org/Members/Registry/SearchRegistryMain.asp
and select "Search By Model" Then click on Push-Button Pantera
Of the (likely) 383 Push-Button variants 216 are in the registry...
While the car was seen as gold in color,
it could be any color 47 years later. Could it have Bronze or Copper ?
Anyone on the list see the car in person at this show ?
More than one owner has claimed their car to be the NY Show car.
If you have the guy's name I might be able to search ownership history for him.
Good Hunting !

So yesterday I was at a Porsche club event in Everglades City FL enjoying sun, stone crabs, and beer. Along with that obviously
comes the requisite amount of car-related B.S. A gent told me a Pantera story that I promised to try and confirm. This guy has
many nice vintage cars as yesterday he was driving an immaculate Speedster and I've also been at events where he brought his Ferrari
Daytona or Aston Martin DB4. Anyway, he claims he was driving a Dino back in the mid-70s but traded it for a Pantera and declared
in hindsight that it was the worst trade he's every made (based solely on present day values)
Whats interesting is that the claims the Pantera was a Gold Pushbutton and was the only Pantera shown at the NY City Motor Show
(which I assume would have been 70 or 71 ?). He's curious if anyone in the Pantera club knows what might have happened to it as he
wants it back. I'm curious about the veracity of this tale as I've never heard of such a thing before ?
Cheers,
Tony
