Date: 08/09/2001 10:06:34 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: delorean502@xxxx Reply-to: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Did the Pantera ever come in a gullwing version? I met a guy today who used to run a body shop. He said a Pantera came in once with gullwing doors. I've never heard of them having gullwings. Also, this guy claims that when the delorean came out he had them in the shop all the time because of stress fracture on the doors. Has anybody heard of this? I know the Bricklin was known to do that and I asked him if maybe he was confusing the D with the Bricklin, but he stood his ground. The original DeTomaso Mangusta had a Gullwing door engine compartment openings. Maybe he also worked at the Dunmurry factory when DMC decided to strip off the paint from the cars and sell them unpainted. Mike
