Harwell Motors of Denton Texas is selling this Pantera on eBay:
Pantera #5405 on eBay
The seller claims this is a European Pantera, and if you examine the pictures closely this car appears to be a '77 to '79 vintage European GTS, that has been retro-fitted with a poorly installed US rear bumper, US front bumper, US side marker lights and 15 x 7 front & 15 x 8 rear wheels. The only thing out of place is the narrow rear license plate cut out. Oh, the nice Euro steering wheel has been replaced with the ugly Capri steering wheel that was oem on US Panteras.
The seller lists the VIN number of this car as THPNL05405, however the true VIN number of chassis #5405 is THPNNM05405. Chassis 5405 was a 1973 vintage Pantera with a Vignale coach. The overwhelming evidence points to this being a '77 to '79 vintage Pantera with either a Maggiora or Embo coach. It appears the VIN being advertised is not the original VIN belonging to this vehicle.
Robert Covey brought the car to Peter Havlik's attention, Peter brought it to my attention. The car has been discussed on the POCA mail list. I feel its important to get the word out to you guys as well, as there are several guys shopping for Panteras at this time.
