^^^^^...THANKS!!! for replying as I really ENJOY stories of auto ownership.
I believe I was early 40's when I purchased my 1972 Pre-L chrome bumperettes Detomaso Pantera.
Was doing a bathroom edition for my friend's sister & SPOTTED the DeTomaso just around the corner from her home.
FOR SALE sign in the rear window, remember thinking...THAT'S a PANTERA!!!
A phone call to the seller, a test drive & a
PPI & the Pantera was mine!!!
Growing up as a young teenager,the neighbor a few houses away had a Brand New 1971 Lamborghini Miura Black on Black.
Would hear that car start up & I'd RUN down the driveway & watch it drive down the street & GRoooooooooooWL!!!!...by.
NEVER heard that Miura get out of first.
gear!!!
First car I ever LUSTED after!!!...that & the 1955 Red Mercedes Gullwing that I occasionally would see, I believe Neil Young owned that Gullwing as Neil was & still is living in Woodside, Ca, relatively close to where I grew up.
You ever consider a RCR Lola T70 build with your son?!
