Warren,
What and amazing story! I'll post it to the Pantera forums if that's OK. It would be great if the owner doesn't mind going public, but we respect his privacy if he doesn't want to. It would be posted to the closed Pantera forums, but there is no guarantee the information would stay there. One of our tribe went to the DeTomaso registry and found #3745 below. This has to be the car. Registry entry's are kept anonymous out of respect for privacy.
In any event, thanks again for the great video. This is probably the best publicity the Pantera has gotten in many years.

I just heard back from Warren Fu, and yes, #3745 was the car. The fact that they were able to get a Pantera (a Jag xj220 was lined up after they were unable to get a Pantera on short notice) was, really, a miracle. I sent him a couple of shots of #3745 from the registry for him to confirm. Read on:
