[DeTomaso] Flashing yellow light....

[Scott Mead Photography]

You make a very good point, Julian. Looking over Classic Autotrader, ClassicCars.com and Hemmings, I tend to find the least amount of scams on Hemmings, with Classic Autotrader and ClassicCars leaving me leery with some of the listings. 

Question for the group: are there other online marketplaces, aside from dealers, that carry reliable listings of our marque? Also, if you had a friend looking for a Pantera, where would you direct them, and not worry about the recommendation coming back to bite you in the back side?

Now that I’ve opened Pandora’s box, Go!

Thanks,

Scott
