Reply to "Pantera #6699 - 3000 mile all original(?) Pantera on Ebay"

As much as most like to mod Panteras - they may be the first 'resto mod' ever - I'm glad someone is promoting originality as being worth something to the world. It's just a great baseline, whether 'good' or 'bad' is less the issue than accurate at build time. Means something.

My one-owner 74 definitely had the same cross brace, same zip tie looking thing, same finish (semi gloss) on it vs. the engine bay in sort of a rough finish flat black. My original valve covers had no deTomaso plate but an emissions 'pink' decal, left side. One thing missing (mine vs the subject car) is an "OK" in yellow on the right head. Mine had "31" under that as if #31 was the station of the "OK".

All else looks pretty strong on the car, though maybe slightly over detailed in the engine compartment. The ZF amateur polish will revert to gray soon enough!

I hope he gets every dime of his reserve. Long live deTomaso!
