Also, I forgot to mention. Back in the day ('70's) I heard that Jerry West (the LA Laker's star guard, later to become coach) owned a Pantera. Supposedly it had dropped floorpans. Actually, he wasn't that tall, around 6' 2" if I remember. I did a little googling but couldn't find this bit of trivia. Not surprising I suppose.

Yes,
Ali had a black Mangusta, bought by Herb Grass.
It was not known that it was Ali's car as there probably was another owner in between Ali and Herb. Herb told me that he found out a few months later when he took the top if the IP off and found the business card of Alis agent. He called him and was told it was Ali's.
Herb painted it McClaren orange with light gray screens and wheels. It was gorgeous.

Anyone know if Kenny Loggins ever owned a Pantera (or Mangusta) - he immortalized the DeTomaso marque in his song "Mr. Night"

deniscCaretaker of 8MA1244 '70 Euro Mangusta DRIVE THEM, THEY WERE MEANT TO BE DRIVEN, IF YOU WANT TO LOOK AT ONE, BUY A POSTER!
Me. I'm a legend in my own mind.
The Pantera is the perfect Rock Star car, but I could see Charlie Sheen owning one. It's close because he parties like a rock star.

Football hall of famer Floyd Little owned my car
My car was imported into the US in 1986 for the actor, Michael Madsen.
Sorry thats not the original Jackie Stewart car in the video. If I'm not mistaken the DT club UK were asked could they supply a yellow LHD GTS, similar to the one Jackie Stewart had originally owned, by the Top Gear production team in 2014. It was for a Racing Legends TV programme and this is the car they supplied.
The programme also featured a famous TV chef called James Martin who is nuts about cars. They did an earlier programme with him about restoring and rebuilding his Boss Mustang.
Sadly it didn't end well. Nobody told Jackie or Martin the car was fitted with a manual switch for the cooling fans and the car overheated in the Italian traffic. It totally cooked the motor. Engine was rebuilt and the car sold shortly after.
cheers
