Yep.

At least it's the proper color:

BLACK HOLE!
 
I like cheese.
 
Since it all black, bring it to my neck of the woods and you can "drag the strip" and pickup Amish women.
 
:lol:

But only th' ones not yet "committed".

I call it a Bad Plan, Elliot.
 
You are right doc... on second thought its a very bad plan.
 
I believe that it's pronounced "Yalpa".
There was a White one here in our town a few years back.
They make Lotus quality (in their early cars)look good!

A friend of mine has a white one here in Fort Collins. Here it is with my Old TR6 and my brothers custom VW.

A different friend has another rare Lamborghini, taken on the same day... the big black one on the end.

Sad to say I've been deep into the bowels of all three cars in that episode. If there's a choice to make, a DeTomato Pantera would be the least obnoxious of the era's Italian "supercars".

And if ya want a good looking, nearly affordable swoopy car Don, go north and find a Montreal.
 
To me the Pantera was the ultimate....Italian styling. and Ford power.
 
Having been an Esprit owner for the past 19 years a car like that is not threatening in the least. I drool with my head held high, well almost high, it's a clean shirt.
If the "Yalpa"'s quality is held above that of an Esprit It might be the way to go. The Esprit's getting a bit tired at 113K+ so anything is an improvement, si?
