[DeTomaso] Pantera 7349

[mallnera at gmail.com]

Hello Mike & Chuck,

First picture is about where the car is in the restoration process. Second
Picture (in Word document) is before the start of the restoration. I
purchased the car in
1986 from a gentleman in Chicago and used it regularly in EPA and NJ
Pantera (founding board member of the club) events until I moved overseas
in 2008 when I stored it in my garage. Am now retired and will (hopefully)
have more time to enjoy my baby when the restoration is completed.

I'll go to the registry to get more information on the prior owner(s).

Anton

The registry has some history of your car, from 1978.

"Rich" is in the eye of the beholder?
Factor in the purchasing power of $1 in 1974 vs. 2018, this person is just
about breaking even if the car sells @ $120K.
Which is not too bad, really, considering as a whole "cars as
investments".  A very small percentage of cars are capable of escaping the
merciless vortex of inflation.
So, here you have it, clear as day:  You buy a zippy car in 1974, drive it
for a few months, park it for 45 years based on speculation that you will
at least break even on a long term investment that has provided you (and
others) with precious little fun other than having possession of an "art
piece" under a cover inside your garage.
Makes no sense to me whatsoever.  In terms of what is truly valuable about
living life, one would have to chalk this venture up as a net loss.
May the buyer of this car not be a similar kind of fool.  May he/she
choose to dive into the cockpit and spin the clock on that sucker.
(#7346, wow that is the highest domestic market s/n I have ever seen)
