DeTomaso Mailing List: July 98, Message #231

As the owner of #1223, a similar early Euro car, I'd forewarn you to be
sure you really want an early car.  My short experience with the car is
teaching me that these early ones are just enough different to be a pain in
the arse.  I recently had a long conversation with Kip at PPC in Colorado
and he was listing off examples of parts that are hard to get for these
cars that are easily available on later ones.

On the other hand, as Mike Coffel told me, "You'll have a very unique, rare
Pantera" which may be cool to you.

How much is he asking?

(BTW, Watch for rust!)
