Those who follow eBay may have already seen this. It's an auction for a 'rare' 1971 Cougar on a Pantera wheelbase using Pantera brakes, suspension and frame.

Does anbody know anything about the validity of this claim? It seems a bit unlikely considering the Pantera is unitbody, and is also mid engined. I've never heard of such a thing!

I can't visit ebay from work, so I had to wait until I arrived home this evening to see what you were writing about.

The owner mentions one of the changes they made to the car was installation of dual exhaust, yet he claims it has a factory installed NASCAR motor. That would mean Ford installed a NASCAR motor with a single exhaust system. NOT!

The only thing deTomaso about that car is that it "may" have sat in the same showroom as a Pantera.
