 I also have the poster of image 0 at the entrance to my office, which I see and smile at several time a day.  In fact I used his car the basis for what I wanted to do to our car during restoration in the 80's and 90's. RIP Dennis.  Bob Reid

    All,
    Those who were around in the 80s may remember the name Dennis
  Fugnetti.
      He was a well-known fine arts automotive photographer in Southern
    California, who owned an exquisite twin-turbo Pantera. He produced
    several posters featuring his car (one inexplicably including
  stylized
    representations of a polished Mangusta wheel?), and his car was
    featured on the cover and inside the first really fine book on the
    marque, Panteras For The Road by Henry Rasmussen:
    [cid:ABB23469-668F-4040-BBCB-D55370791076-L0-001]
    [cid:C26B6DC1-4F99-4A95-8849-A4C416ACC38F-L0-001]
    [cid:EAC00BF7-F951-40B3-AAD5-1FBB3B1C97F3-L0-001]
    [cid:7CF1991B-0F9C-4ED5-BB89-DD0E5954A82F-L0-001]
    Jeff Maxwell informed me the other day that Dennis has passed away.
  His
    business lives on, shared with his daughter:
    [1][1]https://www.fugnettiimages.com/page/about2
    I only met him once, at Concorso Italiano long after he sold his
    Pantera. He was much younger than I was expecting him to be, not all
    that much older than me. He was also extremely friendly and
  personable.
    My condolences to his family for what has to have been an untimely
    passing. :(
    I once found his old Pantera rotting at a used car lot in Monterey,
    sitting outdoors. This was in the early 1990s. The beautiful polished
    engine looked like crap as the elements had taken their
    toll--everything was corroded.  I took it for a test drive and it ran
    like crap too.  The turbos weren't dialed in so it ran terribly, then
    spectacularly overheated and blew its water all over the place. We
    barely made it back to the dealer.  It had been a fine car when he
    owned it, so it's sad the subsequent owner or owners really let it
  fall
    apart.
    It was later bought by a Silicon Valley guy who retrofitted a
  standard
    motor, then quickly tired of it and sold it to buy a Ferrari 308 from
    the divorcing Lee Majors and Farrah Fawcett-Majors. I then lost touch
    with it. I think it's still floating around in So-Cal?
    Spare Dennis a thought each time you admire his timeless poster,
  which
    many, many of us have hanging on our walls.....
