Another eBay Project Pantera

this needs to be saved!

Plants are growing through the bottom of the car. It could be a very difficult restoration.

If it should be save price has to be somewhere near the worth of the gearbox because all the rest is just...
Experienced welders ahead.

I guess I should be thankful I can’t make the hour trip to go look at it.

And probably offering $5K would get me shot

anyone interested in buying this for Parts? I would be keen to chip in as i need a few things for my car? Doug how about partners?

Well, I would need some gauges and maybe driver door.
Gearbox is of course interesting as I am still lacking one.

The screwdriver for me

I’ll take the luggage rack. That seems to be the most solid thing on the car.

Does mine train guys really did a good job on their chroming.

Back in the 70's that piece was probably made in the USA, and chromed in the USA.

Back when things were made and done to last, not slapped together to just look good in the box only to be followed by planned obsolescence or breakage.

At least one vendor loves to supply reproduction parts of continually questionable quality. I will never understand why one would go to the trouble of reproducing something, only to produce and sell a part that fails to deliver OEM quality.

I'm thinking there is probably a pretty solid, standard-bore 4-bolt Cleveland block hidden in there. Assuming ...yea, I know.... that water has not creeped in and rusted it beyond redemption.

And suspension pieces, and glass, window trim......

But $25K is no where close to realistic.

Im wanting the 4 wheel arches. so a I can return my car to a narrow body one day. Also want the bumpers.

So what is interesting on that car

Engine, Gearbox, Rims, Gauges, Lights,Suspension parts, Brakes...

If you buy it as a package it is not worth the money the seller charges.

If the seller splits it off himself, he'll do a better deal but will take him some time and storagespace and patience.

As we learn the screwdriver is also worth something.

If we really want to make a forum buy, someone from the US should buy it and hold the offers of the parts from the forum guys in hand. Then we can go for a bid.
That bid is no where near $25k, more like $10k.

But I remember that yellow car in craigslist at Miami (?), same condition, and someone must have given serious money on it. So you never know.

We are splitting the fure of the bear before the bear is shot.

Strange, I see 2 listings, $25k and $30k buy it now.

Yes, we know, we could split 2 cars.
Looks really strange, maybe fraud.

i "think" the 25K was the guys first post to ebay. In first, I mean FIRST.

I asked some questions, alone with a couple others AND i think his way to add a little info and addition pics was to post the second 30K
