[DeTomaso] Two Weeks to Go - New Pantera (Project P) Debut at Festival of Speed

[Mike Drew]

Scott,

I very much doubt that is true. It would represent a great capital expense to buy the rights I think, likely more than POCA has in the bank. 

Kim supposedly paid quite a bit for the Pantera name and I doubt he would relinquish it.
