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.
