I've been looking at Pantera's for a number of years now and came across this one nearby: https://starcitymotors.com/inv...73-De-Tomaso-Pantera
Is anyone familiar with this car? Going to potentially check it out this week, appreciate any input on things to look for, ask about, etc...

I don't know the car but be careful of the seller as the same car is elsewhere on Facebook for $149,000. This smells like a scam.
There are pictures of it in ProvaMo... It was in a Concours in 2015 in CA.
If it's really in the showroom, it's probably the real one.
It was pretty nice back them....

PS... It's interesting, the VIN is 5017, which is hundreds of cars after the L model production (4260 IIRC) started, but it has a dual pod dash... They must have found one in the corner of the factory back in 72 or 73!
I love this car. Unless it has mystery paint, it looks like a good one. By mystery paint I mean paint hiding "stuff" but you can easily tell once there. Me being weird, I have a paint thickness gauge and checked every panel before buying my car but this one looks cool ! and probably OK.
Thanks guys. Pretty sure it's not a scam, esp as my next step is to go to check it out in-person. The owner is open to a possible partial trade for my '74 Bronco which would make it more financially feasible (though a hard call as I've owned the Bronco for ~12 years and it's basically part of the family at this point). Hope to get to see it within the next few days.
