but this time it does mention that if was in a wreck and also has the wrecked pictures:
Up for auction is a repaired black 1974 Ford DeTomaso, with black interior.
We purchased the car from an insurance auction in it's current condition. After receiving the car, we were contacted by a Pantera club member who gave us some information on the previous history on the car. Apparently the car was restored and on it's first day out was involved in an accident on the driver side, as you can see in the pictures. The car since then has been repaired and will carry a CLEAN transferable Florida title. Included are photo's of the car after the accident. We do not know when or where the repairs were done.
Here is what we do know:
The car does START and other than it needing a tune up, it RUNS and DRIVES.
The only visible exterior damage is around the roof of the car where the engine bonnet opens, and there is some cracking in the paint on the left ( driver side ) fender. There appears to be a very minor issue with the roof and decklid aligning, but appears to be easily repairable. Due to the accident, the fender and left hand rear quarter panel were pulled out and what was not pulled out was filled in with body filler. The factory stock wheels were kept in good condition, and the undercarrage appears to be mainly rust free.
The interior of the car was kept in good condition and has an upgraded stereo system with an amplifier in the trunk. The air conditioning system has two levers that have broken tabs, but are still funtional. We also noticed that both headlight's will not pop up for some reason.
We are selling this car on a transferable CLEAN title AS IS, and for out of state buyers there will be a transferable title as well.
