Reply to "427 tunnel port / 1972"

Sideoiler.
This is a very, very nice car, but it took me 20 minutes to find the listing doing searches.
Granted one could argue that seemingly I am semi-retarded (at least semi if not totally).
You did ask for suggestions. My first would be to correct the listing to Detomaso Pantera, so it comes up in a search. Second add 427 Tunnelport to the title on the second line.
The ad says that you will sell the car for $38,000 without the engine. Will you say what you will sell it for with the engine? (I'd actually consider dropping that comment)
In all honesty, I do find it difficult to believe that there is $200,000 spent on this car, justafiably. I could see half that maybe.
If you can document the components that went into the engine, the condition of those components, and who built it, it would help, a lot.
Is there a dyno chart for it?
If you haven't already,
I think that you should talk to Dave Adler and the folks at Pantera International about selling the car for you.
It is hard for me not to sound critical on this but if the car is as you state it is you may be doing yourself a very serious injustice by attempting to sell it youself on ebay.
You are only going to get bargin hunters there.
I suspect that there may be people on the verge of wanting to kill for just a drive in it. Who knows what they would do to own it? This car really should sell with little or no negotiation. Frankly there may be big buyers for it overseas as well.
It already has created alot rumblings with the 427TP.
It certainly wouldn't hurt my feelings or hurt my position as a Pantera owner to see it sell for six figures. It is just going to take the right buyer. I'm not in that catagory now although I do have plans to be a millionaire in the future.
