Seems this pantera does not a ZF transaxle transmission to operate.

Same car that was painted blue a few months back.
How can a '71 be #5990? I never saw a C6, VERY RARE C4 PU automatic in a Pantera until now?
Where does the drive shaft go?
Actually here is the Pantera "the kid" wanted to build with his "Grandpa"? Hey "Poppi", where are you? Here's your car?
The other Pantera he has listed as a '73, #6464. It has '74 windshield wipers on it.
Is this one of those original CA sold cars that Ford "re-titled" as a '73 to avoid '74 CA emissions requirements?
GP? Your's is a legit '74 sold originally new in California correct?
That car, 6464, is extensively reworked although they didn't use the term "original" in the description? It does seem to be a nice car for the money though.
I would take that one for a "big", Jay Leno type of road test to make sure it's ok.
The manual choke and the redone non-stock throttle cable look suspicious to me?
"Original elderly owner" huh? Nice headers.

It's actually a C4 transmission. It is a fairly rare early "pan fill" version . ( Notice the bellhousing bolts on separate from the pump as on the average C4) These are usually found in pickup trucks . You can tell that it is an early trans because the vent is located on the case( above the low/rev servo) and not on the tailhousing. Just a little trivia.;-)

I am looking for a race car shell, but puu, this one is too far away from good and too expensive. Body and rockers look good from underneath, but so many parts missing, and the door windows no longer split. What have they done to it.

Is it me or do those mirrors look like elephant ears. If they were not big enough we could adapt some Ford F350 mirrors to it.
I'm curious as to "HOW" a section of the frame rails got crushed

It's from when they pushed it off of the cliff to put out the fire.
What happened to the the "vent window" frames on the doors?
This ad annoys me every time I look at it. I hope any poor sap considering this does their homework first.
At least they posted photos of it.

Ha, true, at least there are several photos. I always find it comical when disclaimers are so comprehensive compared to minuscule vehicle descriptions. However, you can simply call for more info so that whatever is said isn't documented.

At least this one hasn't been re-sprayed by a drunken lemur with overspray everywhere in an attempt to put lipstick on a pig - you know exactly what you're getting. The BHCC guys make me ill. If the ZF is missing they always bolt-in some wrecking yard automatic tranny to dupe unsuspecting buyers into thinking the car is more complete than it is.
I've seen a lot of ads from BHCC on Ebay. Seems like almost everything he has is in need of major work, if it isn't just a parts car. You gotta see the Meraks he's got. Every one of them worse than the next.
