[DeTomaso] Fwd: my friend NRE Pantera

[Mike Drew]

All,

I bet this is Dean Martin’s old car. 

(No, not the singer, but the Englishman of the same name who discovered a factory GT5 buried up to its wing in a sand pile in Saudi Arabia, got it for free (!) then brought it home to England, screwed it all up turning it into a wannabe race car, crashed it, brought it to California when he moved to the USA, had Don Byars start to fix it for him, then skipped town and abandoned the car, leaving a huge unpaid bill.....)
