FYI for future potential buyers of this car. I also took a look at this car, and noticed a number of trouble spots. I only had a few minutes to look it over, and no one at the yard claimed to know anything about the car. The e-bay seller wasn't there... I'm not an expert, and definitely not a Pantera expert, but I've been burned on used cars and have learned a few times the hard way, and usually signs of visible body work indicate alot more hiding underneath, or a best a crummy repair. Just an opinion.
It's way more than just an opinion, it's a fact! The car, in addition to the crash damage seen in the above photos, has serious rust issues that were discovered after the crash. They had been covered up by a previous owner and essentially the car is a rust-bucket (to quote the last Canadian owner). I hope that whoever ends up with this car knows completely what they're getting into.
