Reply to "critique and blue book - 72 pantera"

It appears to be a basically stock 72, in nice shape. The grills in the hood have been added.
Goodyear Arriva's were original but why would you want them?
You need to look at the corners of the decklid, doors, and hood for indications of rust.
Look at the last two feet or so of the rocker panels for rust.
You need to remove the rear wheels and look at the rear upright reinforcements.
Don't be surprized if you see rust or cracks.
Cracks would indicate they are rusted from the inside.
Scales on the inside of the floorpans under the carpets or under the undercoating? I'll bet that more Pantera floor pans ruxted out from the inside then the outside.
Drive the car and makesure that it shifts properly in all gears and that none of the gears grind.
Second gear synchros seem to wear out the soonest probably because so many Panteras clutches don't release properly from having the wrong one installed in it.
Expensive to repair? Of course.
It's probably worth around $30,000. There really isn't a guide book for values.
You are going to have to insure it for about $100,000 to drive it and be covered.
