Hi Lori,
I'm sorry for your loss! It sounds like Mike would have fit in well with the rest of the group around here. I'm only sorry we never got to meet him.
And thank you also for sharing the history on his Pantera. It's always fascinating to learn about the history of a car - I'm often amazed at how much people know and/or remember about these cars back in the day, because they are so rare and special.
All the best to you!
