[DeTomaso] FW: looking for a Pantera

[Will Kooiman]

We have a new member to the Pantera brotherhood.  Nick Vermet was the guy I
mentioned a couple of weeks ago that was looking for a car.  The car will be
in Ann Arbor, MI, but Nick also has a home in the Houston area.

Does anyone know this car?  He said a former owner was Douglas B. West.

Thanks.  I was talking to one of the guys (has blue one) and he was never
able to send pictures.



Yesterday I bought S/N THPNMD 04113 a Euro '72 GTS.  Gages read in metric
units and dash is mouse fur.  Former owner was Douglas B. West and he was a
member of various Pantera orgs in the past.



Where do I go to find any/all history of this car?



Which Pantera groups do you suggest, other than POCA, I join for tech help,
parts supply, vender direction.events.etc.  The car will stay in Ann Arbor,
MI.



Thanks Will.  Are you in Houston?  My other home is in The Woodlands.

  I have a "deal" but have not paid yet.  Minor details to sort out.



  I'll try and find this guy and call to understand the rest of the story.



  Tell me what the realbig list is?  I will likely sign up to POCA.

  Congratulations.  I'm attaching an e-mail I received about another for
sale.  I know you said you already got one, but it's always nice to see what
else is out there.



  If you're not on the "realbig" list, you should join.  It's free, and
there are lots of knowledgeable people on the list.



  You may also want to check out POCA.  I don't know if you're a member
already.  It costs $75/year (I think).  I think it's worth it, but you have
to be the judge if it's worth it for you.



  If you need any help, I'm always open for questions.



  Good luck.



  Will.

    I'll ask around.  I knew of one a few months ago, but it was sold in
early January.
