Default Few shots of a car you dont see everyday (Non Honda)

So my neighbor and I decided to take his car out for a spin today before the shitty weather rolls in here to th Northwest. After we drove around, did a few rips on the streets. I snapped a few pictures. Thought I'd share with everyone.

Excuse the photo quality. I am by no means a photographer. I snapped these pics real quick in my driveway with my point and shoot camera. Maybe some other time, I'll pull out the good camera and go for a real photoshoot.

The car is a 1971 Detomaso Pantera. My neighbor is paralyzed from the waist down. So the car is driven with hand controls. He fabricated the hand controls himself. To top it off the car is a Manual.

Any work that needs to be done on the car is done at home. The small stuff he does himself. All the big stuff I get to carry out.









Gotta love a nice clean black paint job


The pictures do not do the car justice.
