I am glad I never converted my orange car to a group 4 and repainted orange, as I was considering this in the past. Somehow it just doesn't seem to look right, and in this instance on ebay, it didn't seem to fetch much money.

I don't think the appeal is lost,the car has to be done right.If you look at the side shot of that car,you will see that the wheels are way to far forward in the rear well and too far back in the front.That is a sure sign the flares where not done with the wheels mounted yet to get a true center point.That is what you get when you deal with non pantera experienced shops.If you are looking at a converted car and it wasn't done by an experienced shop in panteras RUNNNNN!!!!.If i see a car was done by a pantera vendor i consider it to be worth alot more.

Maybe that is what the problem is, in that I thought it was the orange color on a group 4 that bothered me. But actually the body work may not be correct. I love orange, but something just looked non appealing.
I DO think the flares had a lot to do with it. People used to customize 57-67 Corvettes with flared wheel wells, etc. too. But as the values rose, most people realized it was an increasingly expensive mistake to personalize a desireable original car. Then they all got the custom stuff removed and returned to factory trim! Eventually, people will stop butchering up Panteras too (if and when the value of the original cars is more widely known and established for what they actually were). The factory wide body cars are a separate issue as they have a "pedigree".

I have not posted to the above discussion on the orange group 4 to date. Any comments attributed to me are in fact, in error. However, just deciding that something is what it is not, based upon convoluted logic, or self serving thinking, is delusional.
