My pushbutton was featured in the 1970's Hawaii 5-0 episode "Death Wish on Tantalus Mountain" which guest starred Ricardo Montalban. A couple of years ago, the car was featured in an online sportscar magazine called the "Automotive Traveler" in an article which covered the revival of Hawaii 5-0 when the DVD's were released. I received the following email from the editor which has the links to his magazine and the article. In case there are any Hawaii 5-0 fans out there, the series is being revived. They have already started making plans, the actors and roles have been selected. It's a free on line magazine, enjoy.
Dennis,
My name is Rich Truesdell and I am the Editorial Director of the website automotivetraveler.com. Three years ago we produced a magazine feature entitled "In Search of Steve McGarrett" where I believe your car was featured prominently.
Here's a link to the article.

And in the article the author, a Pantera owner himself, Scott Mead, interviewed George Fraine about his involvement with the Pantera and Hawaii 5-O. Here's a link to the sidebar.

On automotivetraveler.com we have a regular department called "Not Found on eBay" where we showcase cars for sale that interest us and while your car is on eBay, we would love to feature it on our website. To do so we need high-res photos of the car and between what we have on file on the car plus your eBay ad, we can make an excellent presentation on your car, similar to this.

In less than three weeks, that post generated more than 12,000 page views, many of them from Europe where autoblog.nl in the Netherlands picked up the item as they scan automotivetraveler.com on a regular basis.
So I guess that the 5-0 pushbutton will be featured again in Automotive Traveller, this time in their classifieds
