HD,

Besides "DeTomaso the Man and the Machines", there are several other titles currently available, and several old titles available used if you hunt for them:

Available New

Brookland Books, Pantera Ultimate Portfolio
DeTomaso Macchine da Corsa by Philippe Olczyk
DeTomaso Pantera by David & Linda Adler and Wallace Wyss

Available Used

Illustrated Pantera Buyer's Guide by De la Rive Box and Stone
DeTomaso Pantera by Jan P Norbye
DeTomaso Automobiles by Wallace A Wyss
Panteras for the Road by Henry Rasmussen

The new books are all available in the club store, the only used book that is very hard to find is the book authored by Norbye (it is the most inaccurate Pantera book, but there's some good pictures).

Issue 129 which I am working on this very minute will also knock your socks off, I apologize I'm so slow.

I shall produce a book someday, but I must get this magazine thing down first!

My kids are always getting me borthday and Christmas presents off ebay of old Pantera books andmagazine articles and such. I have gotten an issue of PI magazine from 1984, which is kinda cool. I have Gary Halls fist catalog. I have his video tapes. All kinds of cool stuff like that on ebay.

Yeah Michael I saw it but got the lowdown from some guys and decided it was overpriced in its present state...and BTW you probably dont remember but you are the one that got me hooked on this board....so you are responsible for this sickness Im suffering from....nice to see you're back too!!

Thanks for the replies guys...I have all of those books, I guess I was just hoping for more, I have some really polished video Documentaries of some other marques and thought it would be great if there was something out there for DeTomaso.

De and De,

I don't remember how I got you hooked, but the important thing is that you are. And BTW, there is no cure!

Michael

Regarding a Pantera video:
I would be happy to produce a quality historical dvd about the Pantera. I would have to rely on 'quality' video clips from members as I have a limited quantity myself.
I have full editing and publishing capability and currently produce TV segments for broadcast.

If anyone is interested, I will take on the pleasure of making the dvd and will credit any suppliers of clips.

Let me know.

Glenn, how about this fine movie of my car??

That's a start, Detom!
Do you have the original tape? Do you know the format?
I can use all the tape I can get because typically the finished and editted piece is about 10 - 20% of the raw footage.
If we can gather enough footage a good finished dvd can come out of it.

I'd like to include original promotional clips and take it from introduction to current era.

Great video & beautiful car DT. After watching it I even wanted a RIDE! Have you noticed that one of the things the kids seem to love about the car is that they can get a good look at the inside without having to have dad lift them up off the ground - its just the right height for them.

I got some vid clips of my cars. Two are on youtube:

The 5-0 Pantera documentary clip was from a local auto show but I could probably get you permission to use segments from it. Let me know what you need if anything

Yeah I have the tape and the DVD. I had to edit (shorten) it just to get it small enough to upload to a web site. I think it is like a couple of giggabits or something.

Kids love it because they think they are riding in the batmobile.
