[DeTomaso] Hagerty Article on Rustiest Pantera

[jderyke at aol.com]

 In the last century, Nor-Cal once had a member with such a Pantera- this one had rust holes thru the roof so the driver got wet when it rained. He was searching for a way to add a chromed Targa-bar from a '57 Ford Galaxie across the perforated top so he could drive in wet weather. Members at the time tried to convince him to NOT show up at car shows...  
He also had a matching Lamborghini Espada with 4 of the 6 Webers leaking. Can't remember his name or I would look up the serial number.

 All,

The new owner, Jeff, reached out to me about a month ago. He had been searching the Pantera international forum and came across one of my posts on ignition locks.

His issue was that the car did not come with an ignition key. I provided him with the information necessary to remove the housing and then drill and  and remove the lock tumbler. 

He does have a Facebook page, but there is very little activity. However, he did recently post he was trying to find four of the original Isis-stamped chrome lug nuts. He did specify the rustier the better.



I do have his contact information should folks nearby want to reach out. Send me your information and I will pass it on to Jeff. I will also be letting him know of this thread on the email list and giving him a link.

We have spoken at length on the phone and he is the same down to earth car guy as the Hagerty article depicts him to be.

Anyone have those rusty OEM lug nuts ?

Larry
