Thanks Larry, I was hoping someone from here would know the car and owner. He is involved with the local DFW Pantera Club. In fact he invited me to a car meet the group had back in November but I was unable to attend. I have no reason to doubt the owner's background with the car but as someone else noted he has owned the car for 18 years there are another 30+ years that anything could have happened. I will ask to see the title and have no doubt it will have a matching VIN.
