Reply to "Pantera #5825 - what is wrong with this white 1973 GT5 Replica?"

Are you judging the straightness by photos alone? Photos will lie. You have to see it in person. If you believe it has been wrecked, and it has been disclosed, look at how bad the wreck was. Bad panel fit does not automatically mean wreck. Mine had some poor panel fit from a sloppy conversion and perhaps a maladjusted suspension.

If you have reason to believe it may have been wrecked get it on a lift and crawl around. Look for things being straightened, re-welded, over bondoed. I would even suggest looking over some one else's car first who know the history of their car so you can see what you should be looking for.

When cars came across ebay with 1028 photographs I often saved the photos for reference.

After 30+ years most these cars have a few stories!
