Great to have stories about legend Elvis. What a privilege to have know him. Was a little surprised Bill thought Elvis was a superb martial artist. Because Bill was a realistic full contact man and Elvis was a demonstrating martial artist, showing his Kenpo.
Had several Panteras and they were famous for problems, mostly overheating. Sorry to disagree but a stock 351 Cleveland Ford engine was not more powerful than any Ferrari engines i know of unless perhaps a V-6 in a 246GT. It also was not technically an "Italian sports car" as it was sold by Lincoln Mercury.... Hey, you and i met at Battle of Atlanta in around 1980. I took a bunch of pics and videos if you with a beautiful young lady and naturally of you throwing soms kicks. You were super nice. I just turned 70 and martial arts are responsible for me bein able to walk all these years, and be in law enforcement and related fields for over 40yrs plus military contractor, after i shattered my pelvis in 1978. Died but obviously got to come back after NDE. You were a great inspiration before and after that. Thanks, Sir. rick in Tennessee June 28, 2024.
