Looks like a pre-oiler. Builds oil pressure before firing. So, yes, a dc motor driven oil pump. Quite the motor! Unless of course the owner dispensed with the gear driven pump somehow?
looks like a steal! 30 grand? their must be a problem or he thinks theirs a problem.

It is an auction... it is not going to sell for 30k...

That is current auction bid with 6 days to go, what BaT doesn't do is show whether the bid is above reserve or not until the sale is over or unless the seller advises so in the discussion.
The sunroof is interesting. Don't think I've ever seen a Pantera with one. Probably lose a couple inches of head clearance for those above average in height!
I would love to see the details on the sunroof.
Modern ones take about an inch of space to fit.
The real issue with the Pantera is with the way that the roof is constructed, there isn't enough room to open one all the way back if installed inside the roof.
The one that would work the best is the one that opens over the roof and sticks up like a spoiler.
Hall put one in 'Big Red' way back and he told me that it came out of a 911.
The best idea to me was what the first Mangusta showed of glass roof panels.
Apparently there were enough pop up sunroofs installed into these cars that there was demand for a "sun roof patch panel" that Hall had offered at one time.
The other part is that you are going to need to "dimple weld" the tracks to the roof because of lack of space in the roof for screws.
I see about 2" of lost head room in the pictures.
Auction results show it sold for $80,000. All things considered I think that's a good buy, "well bought" is what I would term it to be.
