Don, if you post some detailed photos, you will get a flood of responses form a bunch of VERY knowledgeable people. The price should be fairly low in the condition you state. Just add up all the time and expense to get the car restored to where you want it and see what the cost/value is (including a sensible labour rate) and then compare that to the "market" price for a good Pantera (in the 40—60 range). Good luck, and welcome. Hope it all works out for you and the car.
