To answer a few questions about the car. This car has spent the last ten years in north Georgia. All of the prior years were spent in Southern California. I have extensive records for the car.
The rust in the front was the result of curb rash allowing the rust to set up. I suspect that most Panteras suffer from the inner rust behind the front of the rocker. Most owner's either don't know its there or won't own up to it. This was a very solid car and is even more so, now.
