First, this souldn't be possible 'cause the fins should not be exposed. On all Panteras, there was a sheet metal shroud completely covering the condenser, that also mounted an electric fan. So I'm not real sure you have a stock condenser. Second, the condenser shroud cleared the ZF by over 2"; Lloyd Butfoy's 6-speed adaption to the ZF increases the transaxle length by 2-1/2" and requires the AC shroud assembly to have a slight dent but never touches the actual fins. So I suspect that either you have a huge non-stock condenser or someone has seriously messed with this car. Need photos to clarify or a knowlegable expert to actually SEE the machine.
