In 1973, a group of enthusiastic DeTomaso Pantera and Mangusta owners began to meet regularly at Peyton Lincoln-Mercury in Long Beach, California. From this founding group of enthusiastic classic car owners, emerged the Pantera Owner's Club of America.
Over the ensuing 31 years, the POCA organization has expanded to include 19 nationwide Chapters and approximately 1,000+ loyal worldwide members. POCA is a non-profit automobile club dedicated to supporting DeTomaso owners with objective technical information and social benefits. POCA is officially recognized by De Tomaso Modena, S.p.A.
