Hello Julian; Through some Dick Tracy like detective work I tracked down & spoke with the owner of the Pantera being sold at Beverly Hills Car Club.quote:Originally posted by Joules:
Kjeld,
I admire your spirit, but honestly think you should be looking for another wrecked car and use one of the two as the donor. It will probably work out cheaper than trying to find and purchase parts piecemeal, shipping etc.
For example Beverley Hills Car Club had this car reduced to around $15,000 over Christmas and they do seem to get low end cars with parts missing with regularity. Something like this could provide most of what you need or vise versa.

Also contact Larry Stock at Oanktera Parts Connection in Carson City NV, he had two or three wrecked Pantera bodies he was slowly stripping sheet metal off of. Prices are not likely to be cheap though.
Good luck,
Julian
A Mr. Michael DiGonis ( VERY NICE GUY on the phone). The Pantera in question was raced at Bonneville SALT Flats, and despite Michael's best efforts to remove all the salt that worked it's way into EVERY nook & cranny, Michael was unsuccessful & as a result the Pantera has more HOLES & RUST than imaginable.
I would venture to state with reassurance that every sheet metal/body part that Kjeld needs for his restoration would NOT come from the Beverly Hills Car Club Pantera...Mark
