IMO, the Pantera is a reverse logic car. The cheapest Pantera is the most expensive on you can find for sale. The most expensive Pantera is the basket case that you want to fix up yourself.
Examples? You can buy cars that some guy has just spent a hundred grand on restoring it in a shop for sixty grand. Or you can buy a 20 grand rusted out hulk that doesn't run, spend five years of your life and one-hundred thousand dollars for parts, and still wind up with a car not quite as nice as the sixty grand one.
So what really matters is what you are after. Do you want a really nice car, or do you want a hobby for the next five years where when you are done, you can truly say that you built a work of art from scratch????
