If it was the red GT5 clone you did well to steer clear, even in the photos that car looks to have some serious panel fit issues around the rear decklid.
Keep an eye on any upcoming auctions;
Auctions America Ft. Lauderdale Mar 31- Apr 2 has 2 Pantera's on the docket, albeit one is a genuine late model GT5 and estimate $175-225K. The other is listed at $65-75K, but you never know, some buyers got lucky in January's auctions when a couple of nice Pantera's sold in the mid 50's.
