[DeTomaso] Fwd: Detomaso Pantera on today's Barn Find Hunter

Fri Feb 8 10:44:28 EST 2019

On my last multi-day Pantera road trip, I fit one hard suitcase, two soft ones, 75lbs worth of tools, an air inflator, aluminum floor jack, and an outdoor car cover in the rear trunk.

I fit a duffel bag and some soft items in the front trunk.

People often forget the valuable space inside too. A full face helmet can go under the passenger’s legs and there is space between the seats for a toiletry/convenience bag.

Leslie, a 914?

I thought we were talking about exotic cars here!
