Reply to "Cars the Pantera gets confused for....."

edgeMember

When sitting at the traffic lights I often have guys lean out of their car window & say "what is it?"
I reply with "Detomaso Pantera".
Nine times out of ten they give me a blank look or a simple "Huh?"
I generally reply with "its Italian".

I then get a smile & a nod of the head, sort of like "OK, that explains it then".

At petrol stations I often have guys come up & start chatting, often they are wanting to impress me with their knowledge of the car.
Statements like, "so it still has the orginal 351 fitted?"

Here in Perth a Pantera is a fairly rare car with at best only around 6 examples in the state of Western Australia.
(you could fit Texas into Western Australia several times & still have space for Europe!)

So it takes a die hard car nut to know what the car really is.

Tony.
