History Channel

Didn't catch the program, but I'll look for a re-airing of it. Did they mention David Lee Roth formerly of Van Halen? My buddy in the L.A. area said he hit some pedestrians and killed someone in his Ferrari in a little beach town in SoCal. Any truth to that?

I saw the show last night, They went very in depth into the cars themselves. In the Pantera segment, they went all the way back and mentioned the Mangusta. I didn't catch the owner of the Pantera's name, but he had a POCA shirt on. He's an older gentleman (late 50's?) bearing a resemblance to the actor Wilfred Brimley.

The show itself was pretty good, and it covered the unfortunately fatal car accidents of James Dean (Porsche Speedster), Jayne Mansfield (Buick Electra), Tom Mix ('37 Cord), Vince Neil (Pantera), and Sam Kinison ('89 Trans Am). It also touched on several other famous car deaths.

Michael,

Older gentleman? Late '50s?

Sounds like he's in his prime to me!

George,

Did I type older? I could have sworn I typed 'wiser'!

Being 37, I obviously have much more wisdom to put under my belt!

Michael

I'm with you, George. He was just a kid!

That would be Kent Snyder He is the President of the CHPIE! chapter of POCA. That is his 73 mostly stock Pantera they used in the AutoManiac TV Program.

However the original car that Vince Neal crashed was a red 72

Vince Neal also used a pantera in the video "If I die tomorrow"...the latest from Motley Crue.

I guess he has an affinity for Panteras as well.
