Mike, I feel cars like this bring down Pantera values because of public perception as a custom “kit” car. Not a wonderful blending of Italian style and Ford power.
I hear you! As a group we are probably too accepting of those that do non-de Tomaso stuff to their cars. I know that I tend to bite my tongue rather than telling someone they are a stupid fool and they should be thrashed for what they did to their Pantera. Just like your car and my car have GT5 hood vents. Hard to undo that type of stuff although it was a de Tomaso factory option that the factory would put on any car you took to the factory.
