1973 Pantera Japan Custom Restoration

121FD833-3416-445D-A85D-1FF07617317F Work is well underway to our 1973 DeTamaso Pantera custom. This Pantera was purchased from the BAT auctions online. Our bid was high bid at $71000 but lost. We contacted the seller though and he did sell us the car. This car had numerous comments on the auction site because the headlights had been omitted by the original owner. There were also no windshield wipers on the car and the intake manifold had lines for nitrous but no system installed. The car is currently undergoing massive custom restoration efforts. The body kit is a GTS style kit but as suspected the car had damage underneath. During inspection we discovered that there is collision evidence to the drivers side fender and inner fender. Good news is the car is straight and not bent. These are the headlights we are considering. We’re placing this post here to hear what you the owner/experts think. Please be nice. We realize is not a original equipment restoration but the car was not a good candidate for a true survivor restoration.
