I resist getting into these discussions because of my well-known mods to Judy's '72-1/2 L Pantera (92 mods so far!) All are reversible & I kept the stock parts. But in a family compromise, all but a few (Revson front spoiler, Gr-4 tail lights & 10" Campys ) are hidden under the as-delivered body. At 2675 lbs ready to drive & with 350 bhp, it runs faster than I care to drive today & handles far better than it ever did 'stock'. Those are my important factors. Others have others, as you say- J DeRyke.
