About

Since 1984

Our passion is DeTomaso and our inspiration is the comradery shared amongst owners, enthusiasts, and gearheads young and old.  We also share in the love for the heart of our beasts and participate in numerous Ford and Shelby events in the North Texas region.  Our club is going through a renewal so if you're just a fan and/or also an owner - this would be a great club for you to join and participate in. 

Where To Find Us

We're resurrecting our site and social media presence so check back and look for updates.  Also, you can submit your email in the "Contact Us" link, or look at the Calendar of events and join us at one of our gatherings!

What We Look For

Whether you own, or are a fan of, a rare Vallelunga one of the first mid-engine cars ever sold to the public, a Mangusta - created as a foe to the Cobra (Pictured here), a Longchamp, or the Pantera (in any of its iterations), we welcome you.  

Caught in the Wild!

Every so often, someone will take their Pantera out in the summer months to a monthly chapter meeting.  Caught in the Wild in July was Steve Lesso's beautiful Pantera outside of BJ's, a favorite monthly venue of ours!

We Participate in Events!

Along with our monthly gatherings as a club, we try to unite and attend some of the most popular events in our City, Region, and National level.

1974 Pantera L

Owner - Dana Sorum


POCA Member since 2023 


In his words......


 The band Pantera got their name from the car, so my plates are named from one of their songs. "This Love". 

I love both the car and the band. 


The first time I saw a Pantera was ...


I can't really remember, but I do know that I've always wanted one!  


Favorite Memory


 Haven’t had many yet. Just getting it road ready finally.   


(We look forward to seeing it in the DFW area in 2025)

* NOTE - that means Dana will need to have it road-worthy to make the journey 

to/from the Austin area when Austin traffic is at its lightest!)


Lessons and Thoughts on De Tomaso Ownership....


Everything that can break, will break!    


Advice to anyone looking to join the DeTomaso family ....

 

Do your homework and get someone in the community to help with a car you are thinking about getting.

    In the blood ...

    Alejandro De Tomaso was involved in Formula 1 and 2 - Being in F1 from 1961-1963 and then back again in 1970 with Frank Williams.  Have a look/listen at this 1970 Historic F1 in the livery of the Williams Team as driven by the late great Piers Courage who qualified 9th at the 1970 Dutch Grand Prix to start the season where he would lose his life later that day in a tragic accident during the race.
