Reply to "Pantera #4829 - Chassis has Group 4 lightening holes"

I like Kristian's idea to check the headlight buckets for the chassis number stamped into them. Sometimes doors also have chassis numbers stamped in them. Sometimes special cars, like proto types, have the VIN etched into the window glass too.

If the VIN has been altered, the original can be discovered by somebody skilled in that area, assuming the original sheet metal exists below the welded-in replacement VIN.

I suspect the high price for the documents was asked because acquiring them may require travelling to Switzerland. You should email Schaub and ask what his price would be for the documents.

I would advise contacting the seller asking €5K for the documents, and ask for an exact list of what documents they shall provide in exchange for the money. Perhaps some photo graphs of the documents as well. This is not out of line considering the asking price. If the documents resolve all questions, and clarify the car's history, then I agree with Julian they may be worth acquiring. But you may get a response that neither a list nor photographs are possible because the documents are not "in-hand".

And what in the world was the Pantera Plus Project? Does anyone know? Chuck? William E?
