All,



Dean Martin's son (can't remember his name) was a minor actor in his own

right, owned at least one Vallelunga, which he wrecked, then a Mangusta,

which he wrecked, and I think he might have even wrecked a Pantera before

finally killing himself in an F-4 (he was in the Air National Guard.)



Famous ballplayer, I think it was Willy Mays, also owned a Mangusta.



For awhile, there were rumors floating about that Jay Leno owned a Pantera.

NOT!  A POCA board member had a friend/relative who worked on the set but

didn't know squat about cars.  Turns out he thought Jay's Lamborghini was a

Pantera.



By the way, did you all read in Autoweek that the Elvis Pantera traded hands

recently, for something like $150K?  I think it sold two or three years ago

for over $300K, so somebody took a BIG bath on that one!
