DeTomaso Mailing List: July 99, Message #215

Hi Charles:
You pretty much outlined what I wanted. Somewhere I read that the ZF might
have been used on a backhoe digger! How gosh (but then again, I think that's
what some from the Prancing Horse and Raging Bull says about the 351
Cleveland in our beloved Panteras anyways). Still, that ZF definitely fits
into the character of the great cat. Cal #2428.
