DeTomaso Mailing List: May 2000, Message #25

Hi Nathan,

I am also looking for a Pantera in the Bay Area. (Mid $30k range...)
There are plenty of knowledgable people out here that can help you out
in your search.  I suggest you attend one of our PCNC meetings. The 
next one will be May 25 at Coco's in sunnyvale right off the Lawrance
expressway. 

Good Luck,
Patrick
(in Sunnyvale)
