She is coming home........... | The De Tomaso Forums

katsMember

Well everyone, my dream has become reality. For all of you who don't know my story, I have been looking for my fathers 1971 Pantera for 1 1/2 years. I finally found the current owner and contacted him. He couldn't have been more a gentelmen! He is selling the car back to me!

I should have her in the next few weeks. She needs to be transported from East to West Coast. I am so happy I cannot even begin to explain. I have been waiting for this opportunity for 13 years.

Some quick details.........1971 Pantera, original paint, engine, etc. 22k miles. Great condition. Runs great, shifts great.

I will be joining PI very soon. This site and lots of its members here have been such a great help to me. I cannot thank everyone enough! My yearly membership fee is the LEAST I can do to help out this site and the company.

Thanks for everything.

I really wish I could drive it home. But, my work shedule is crazy, and I just don't have the time to go out there and drive it back.
