> The "Supercars" Internet site was recently brought to

>
> What is that car?  The DeTomaso Pantera.
>
> De Tomaso Panteras are mid-engined exotic cars that
> were produced in Italy and imported to the United
> States by Ford Motor Company from 1971-75.  The
> stunning car is a combination of elegant Italian
> styling and powerful American V8.  The body's sleek
> steel body cloaks a potent Ford 351 Cleveland motor,
> fully independent suspension and ZF transaxle.
>
> Panteras offer sexy looks, shattering performance and
> yet are considered one of the most affordable exotics
> ever offered.  You only have to attend amateur track
> events across the country to see Panteras passing many
> other Supercars on your list at a blistering pace.
> Panteras regularly compete in open road racing, such
> as the Silver State Challenge, hill climbs, vintage
> racing and open track events.  In addition, the
> limited production cars often pop up at prestigious
> shows ranging from the famous Pebble Beach Concours to
> the La Bella Machina in the Poconos.
>
> In 1973 a group of enthusiastic DeTomaso Pantera and
> Mangusta owners began to hold regular meetings at
> Peyton Lincoln-Mercury in Long Beach, California.
> >From this small conclave of automobile owners emerged
> the Pantera Owners Club of America.  Over the years,
> the POCA organization solidified and its membership
> began its steady expansion including 15 chapters
> across the United States.  The Pantera Owners Club of
> America is officially recognized by DeTomaso
> Automobili, S.p.A., Modena, Italy.
>
> POCA is dedicated to the history, maintenance,
> restoration and preservation of all DeTomaso
> automobiles.   Members thrive on activity and the
> Club, with its many local chapters, provides a wide
> range of activities including speed events, social
> events, regular meetings, rallies, Concours d'
> Elegance and an annual convention.  POCA also
> disseminates technical information about DeTomaso
> automobiles through the publication of a monthly
> newsletter and a four-color quarterly magazine.
> Additional information about POCA and Panteras is
> available at the club's Internet site
> (http://www.panteraclub.com).
>
> POCA can provide a tremendous amount of information
> and even help pen a description with graphics for
> inclusion on your site.  We might even be able to
> provide a link to your site.  Please consider adding
> one of the greatest Supercars of our time to
> Supercars.net.
