The old saying, "beauty is only skin deep", sure applies when looking for a Pantera. Enlist some knowledgeable Pantera people in your search and let them weed-out inferior cars. When I say inferior I mean cars that can never really evolve into that special car you are looking for. Rusty frames, sheet metal, suspension parts etc sometimes cannot be repaired. Also, pay attention to the ZF as it can be quite expensive. Follow the Pantera web pages closely, however, remember not all correspondents are true experts or absolutely truthful in advertisements. Good Luck!
