If you're going to check out this car, visit my "How to Buy" page to get a copy of the "Pre-purchase Inspection Checklist" and more info on what to look for:

Also, check out these two inspections I did a few months back to get a better idea of what to look for:
Redwood City Pantera

A couple more things: http://realbig.com/pipermail/detomaso/2006-July/074593.html
San Leandro/San Francisco Pantera

I hope this info helps. The other thing to do is find another Pantera owner in the area to look at the car for you and/or with you. It's amazing what an extra set of eyes will find.
Good luck!
