you could really order anything from the factory. great times !
but the Pantera was (and still has to be for some )full of plexiglass because it's a race car ( weight and safety). Plastic is genuine !
using the half back only from a full racing cage is a classic, the front steals a bit place but, for my taste, it looks just ...wow !
same for tyres ... just 15" slicks and rrrooooaaarrr !!!
but today a lot of Pantera's owners don't want or cannot participate at races so they try more to associate genuine with elegance ( glass windows , diagonal brace on main hoop ...aso... )
here in France we have real freedom with those old racing cars : just need the "genuine paper" that certifies what's in or on your car is original ...
meaning : if you drive a moped with no strong normed helmet you're good for a hudge ticket ! but you can drive an old topless Delahaye with a leather helmet or a scarf wraped around your head and it's all good !
How does that go in the US ?
