DeTomaso Mailing List: December 98, Message #172

I've been with this list for almost two years now, and this is not the first
time I've heard a story like this.  Where the body shop the Pantera was in...
went out of business, and the P owner almost didn't get thier car back.

I guess, when I get mine and if it needs work....I'm taking it to a known
vendor.
