Reply to "Barn find Pantera?"

OH!!!!

THE HUMANITY!!!!!!

THE WORST THING I'VE EVER WITNESSED.....

(With apologies to the Hindenburg disaster).

The barn find Pantera was a garage find, and sadly would have been best left to someone else to uncover. The image of that once proud beauty will be forever etched in my mind, and it is a sad image, indeed.

Basically a totally stock car save for recovered seats, intake/carb/valve covers and wheels/tires. About 32K on the odometer.

Hasn't been driven in 15-20 YEARS and probably won't ever move on its own without a total restoration. I don't think it was sitting in the garage all that time either due to telltale things I saw here and there.

No signs of rust, though. Body has dents here and there, missing one rear bumper and door panel. Didn't see the rear tub anywhere.

Widow is asking - she says firm - $15,000.00.

She said she has spoken with some potential buyer 'down in L.A.' and she is planning on trailering it down for his inspection. ?? Why SHE is taking the car, and the buyer is not just driving up to view it, is a mystery. Says she sent photos and he is interested. His I.Q. must be about that of a turnip.

Here is what greeted me walking up the driveway.

Please join with me in a moment of silence for a dear, departed friend, 3781.
