We are pleased to announce that effective July 1, 2006, George Pence will be assuming the responsibilities as the President of Pantera International. Justin Pence has been duly elected Vice President and Adam Pence will serve as the Secretary and Treasurer of this organization, founded in 1973. This club could not be in more capable hands than the Pence family. Linda and I are very pleased and satisfied with their enthusiasm for the DeTomaso marque and their combined capabilities.

Linda and I will continue to be involved with Pantera International, serving as feature editors and on special assignments as called upon by the Directors. We are both very dedicated to this organization and it is our strongest desire that it should continue as long as there is one DeTomaso automobile on the planet!

The quality of the publication will continue to improve and you can expect that the club will become more dynamic and interactive in the future.

We are working collectively on the Summer 2006 issue of Pantera International and through our joint efforts, we expect that this next magazine will be one of the best ever published.

The principal headquarters of Pantera International will be moving to:

330 Central Avenue #25
Fillmore, California 93015
Telephone: 805-524-5248
Fax: 805-378-7100
Email: george@panteracars.com

We salute the Pence family and wish them only the best!
Respectfully,
Dave and Linda Adler

Wow! I had to read that a FEW times before it sank in. I hope you find success and happiness in your future endevours. Some how P.I. without the Adlers at the helm seems odd, kind of like the Statue of Liberty without her torch.

Pences:

Congratulations and welcome! George, without a doubt you have a huge pair of swinging brass ones for assuming such responsability! I look forward to seeing what new directions you may take the DeTomaso marque to.

Ron
Thanks Glenn & Ron.

Dave & Linda will remain involved with the Club, magazine & hobby. They are the most devoted Pantera/deTomaso enthusiasts you could ever meet. They simply have more time now to enjoy life, and I have less! Ha, ha, ha ..... Its on my shoulders now to meet the needs of our membership and publish the magazine, Dave can relax and leisurely submit stories & pics at HIS pace, rahter than the pace of a quarterly magazie. He and Linda already have my invitation to remain as involved as they want to be.

OK George congradulations. Is there going to be nudity in the magazine or not?
Oh Sh*t, there goes the neighborhood.
Congratulations on getting it done George. As we've discussed several times, you know you have my continued support and devotion brother.
Now maybe I'll see you more.....

We have been very fortunate at PI to have made so many wonderful friends over the years that kept inspiring us. The wonderful thing about this organization is our culture of sharing information on everything from technical information to historical research, feature cars and other ideas. Without the support of our members, we could not have done it for 15 years.
We hope to stay involved with the Pence's, however, they bring fresh new ideas to the table and a new atmosphere of fellowship. We expect the club's influence will continue to grow and that the members will receive great value for their dues.
Linda and I would like to do more vintage racing and continue to learn how to be farmers (avocados that is). We are not the Beverly Hillbillys but damn close. Please drop us a line any time.
We will still be working at PI Motorsports which the Pences did not acquire. PIM will remain supportive of the club and the Pence family efforts.
Respectfully,
Dave and Linda
I am confused - nothing new there. Confused

What election? Who voted?

The sentence stating the Pences "acquired" P.I. International implies a sale was made. Correct or did I incorrectly infer that?

In any case, a HUGE thanks to all the Adlers for years of service to our marque.

And a great BIG welcome to the Pences who have some big shoes to fill.

You know I'm in this for the long haul no matter who is at the helm. Smiler

Wow, that's some big news, but good as well. I'm happy to hear that Dave & Linda will be focusing more on enjoying life's pleasures and I also can't think of a better keeper of PI than George, who has proven (beyond any doubt) his knowledge, commitment, enthusiasm, passion and love for all things DeTomaso. We are fortunate to have such a great group of people involved and I look forward to the continued success of PI. Congratulations!
Wow George, Congrats!! To think I was in the company of El Presidenti when we met in during your AZ trip. Glad to know PI will be in capable hands.
