'72 On Craigslist (near toronto)

Would like to see the engine compartment. Looks like some body mods have been done e.g. no side marker lights.

I've talked to the owner and he has sent me pics, VIN is 4384. Car came from FLA. Owner has owned for over 12 yrs, has over 100k invested sells for 73.4cdn. Body has been widened over 3 inches , motor has 302Boss heads and rated at 450HP. Tons of powdercoating.

If you have them it would be nice to see a couple side shots to see what he did to the fenders, Group 4, 5 or custom. Hard to see in those small craiglist photos.

Look at the top of door to rear gill edge

See how door has been thickened

Rear view

Look at top of quarter panel edge. All very subtle.

I'll rephrase - the "price seems high to me" = "out of my league", but for the work that's gone into this, I hope he gets close to his price.
It's nice to see the rubber coming out to the edge of the flares, I've seen a few pics of cats where they've flared, but haven't found wide enough rims so the rubber seems to be inset 4-5 inches, this one looks like it was done right.

Is there any additional information this Pantera? Such as interior shots or more info on the body modifications? I tried to reach the current owner, but have not heard back from him.

I know this Pantera originally came from Florida...where I believe the original owner performed the body modifications.

Please chime in if you have more info on the car...!

This car just re-appeared on Kijiji in Toronto:

He's lowered his price to $55K Canadian (around $45K USD or 35K EUR) at today's exchange rate.

Here's the text of the ad...
"Professionally resorted, pictures and bills available. this car is one of a kind and a must see. Body has been flared out and lowered. All inquiries please call Claudio at (416) 988-9384."

I looked at and drove this car when it was still in Florida. The mods he made really are amazing; you have to look closely before all is revealed. The way the entire body was widened gives it such a different stance, but at first sight you can't put your finger on it.

And what was the quality of the car? Not just the metal work, but the entire car?

Sorry I've been off this board for a while. I think the car was originally done right; the metal work seemed of very high quality, especially considering what was done. It definitely needs some updating, though. Paint chips, some minor bubbling, a crack where it slipped off a jack, the dangling exhaust, etc. Also I recall there was an issue with the title, where it was salvaged by an insurance company and subsequently pulled from the salvage yard for the restoration.
