Milestone for #1313 - Video of first drive in 30 years. | The De Tomaso Forums

stevebuchananMember

The attached video is a little underwhelming except that Pantera #1313 has not moved under its own power for 30 years or so. The car was completely disassembled when I got it six months ago and now it actually drives down the street. The video shows its actual maiden voyage since being resuscitated. The car has all new suspension bushings, steering rack, rebuilt shocks, etc and thus drove quite nicely.

That's great. Mine was "only" four years in the making without running, but I still know the excitement of starting it up and driving it for the first time in a long while. Congrats!
