[DeTomaso] One overlooked Pantera sale

I have mostly crappy results (some alcohol-induced) buying cars at the
major auction houses. I think the exception is Bring A Trailer, which
draws comments and history for the cars from those that know it.
I have committed to stop drinking at auctions..... to help prevent further
mistakes.

Steven G. Lisa, Esq.
