Completely different animal. One an original 'L' with 17k miles in my personal fav color, VS a ~restored~ with modern components [done tastefully] chrome bumper car. But like you say Gilles, the numbers don't lie.
Well both narrow Panteras and both scored a remarkable price.
Where did you sell the car?
Kissimmee 6 weeks back. I sell there annually. Last year was my GTS shown on top of this page. S224 last year, S164 year before that. I have no competition. Always 6 figure sales but I make-em perfect so nobody can 'pick' at anything on stage.
Why you gotta make this a hard decision
This car, or a different one?

I guess the posted 'sales price' doesn't include the buyer's premium.
Jack … mind sharing the chassis number for those of us who keep track of such things?
What's the deal saying it had power steering? I thought they were all manual racks.
With the advent of electric power steering, adding it to a Pantera has become fairly common. You'll find lots of info here in the forums.
The Mecum sales are reported with buyer premium included so $132K all in, but like all good fishing stories $145K sounds much better!

FYI to Norm and others
In years gone by, Steve Wilkinson did a few "hydraulic" power steering conversions, and even a few automatic transmission conversions.
But perhaps his conversion I liked the best was the dual pane rear window.
