[DeTomaso] 72 in StLouis -> Fuel Filler

[mshortt at comcast.net]

I have a photo of #1853 on my website www.tandemproductions.com/pantera  go to the bottom of the page and select OPP , and it was purchased new by the current owner and he has a gill fuel door that came on the car, this is a late 71, early 72, mine is #1660 June 71. No fuel door, I don't want one, half the fun is getting gas and having people walk up and drop their jaw at seeing the engine.
