Reply to "Production History Questions for Phillippe"

Pantera International already maintains a large archive of club documents going all the way back to 1973. Debbie and I have put that archive into better condition, and stored it in a better facilities, than it had ever been in the past. We could archive the factory documents as well. I believe we could do a faithful job; and stewardship of the documents would be passed on with the stewardship of the club itself. The money for additional storage would be added to the club budget; which is funded by banner ad sponsorship and supplemented from our pockets.

We would share the information with De Tomaso owners at no cost, the only fees we would charge would be to cover mailing supplies and postal fees. A large document exceeding the size of our scanning equipment may incur a reproduction fee if we had to out source its reproduction. We already have the scanning equipment, and we maintain a small packaging center in our office for the De Tomaso store.

The problem is we can not afford to pay a large sum of money to acquire the documents, a little bit yes, but not a large sum.
