[DeTomaso] [EXTERNAL] Re: Ford era Panteras

[Himes, Terry (US 397C)]

Oh Yeah!   I had a guy approach me at the gas station. He asked me why I put a 
Pantera logo on a Mangusta?  I said "Because it IS a Pantera!  Not a Mangusta!"  
He kept arguing and said he owned a Mangusta and my car is NOT a Pantera.  

I just smiled and quickly drove away.

    The most impressive was a guy that insisted they all came with Chevy engines, and some came with big blocks.

    You do what you can, but in the end you just have to let them be wrong - sometimes.

        Mike,

        As one who lives in the area I can tell you there is no port in San Jose. The cars were shipped, as running driving cars, to Baltimore, or Long Beach. 

        There was a lot of recall work done to early cars that involved removing and reinstalling the drivetrain, but it was all done in Long Beach, North Carolina or Detroit. 

        So...no.
