There is a pantera for sale on ebay by the original owner. He is very proud of the car as he is asking $180,000.00 for it, no mistake on the price. Anyone with some money they don't need should check it out.

Yes I saw that!! A $32,000. Paint job! If it is so what he wanted, then why is he selling it?? I think he's been smokin something. Ofcourse, that's just my opinion. $180,000.!! Would that raise the market value of all our cars, if he gets it? Marlin.
This is a guy who has probably promised his wife that he will sell the car because he has spent so much on it. What his wife doesn't know is that he has been keeping two mistresses for the past 5 years on the $180K that has gone from their joint bank account. The car is probably a heap of rust that has had no work done on it at all. She'll catch him eventually.
I think the Pantera was his mistress!!
He probably worked for Enron and that's how much $$$ he requisitioned for a "company car"
He must have worked for Enron and invoiced that much for this "company car"!?
This is a guy who finally got around to adding up his receipts..... the fact that he and the paint salesman live in caves should come as no suprise.

I'm sorry, but as much as I love Panteras, this thing looks like some teenager's "ricer" project. What's with the snowplow on the front? $32,000 paint....yeah, if you really want to pay that much for a $5,000 job I guess you can.
I also think the "jacked up" look in the back is too '70s "wannabe muscle car".
And, he obviously wants MORE than the $180,000 he is asking for a starting bid.
Oh, yeah....

its says 3200.00 not 32000.00
Nope. It says $32000. That's thirty-two THOUSAND dollars. All the zeros are there.
Joe;
$3200 was the cost of the paint alone. The paint job cost him $32,000.
I build large scale replicas of cars (1/12 and 1/8). I learned a lot about painting my models from being a partner in a restoration shop years ago. When I prep a model body and paint and polish it for a museum or contest/show car, the paint has to be perfect when examined from 2-3 inches under bright reflective light. These jobs take many hours, but unless there was major bodywork to be done on a 1:1 Pantera, I can't imagine spending $32000 to prep and paint it. For that price I would expect that every square inch be flawless when viewed up close and through magnification.
No one is that crazy! Although, if anyone out there wants a perfect paint job and has money to burn, I guess I might even be tempted by that kind of money

I have a nice 1974 with an average paint job. I�ll knock $40,000.00 off so you can have it painted any color you want and I will also knock another $40,000.00 so you can fix any mechanical problems. Therefore, I will reluctantly sell this fine piece of history for the mere pittance of $100,000.00. Act fast, I have a feeling it will sell quickly.
Don�t fall into the trap of undervaluing your Pantera. They are priceless!
I would like to get the name of this guy�s body shop. Over 2000 hours for only $32,000.00. That�s less than $16.00 per hour. I can�t find a body shop with a rate less than $40.00 per hour.
This must belong to Osama Bin Laden, because he just extended the auction. I figure he must be in a cave smoking something.
THE CAR IS $18K NOT $180K AND THE PAINT JOB WAS $320. THE CAR SOLD ALREADY IT HAD $32K IN BONDO THOUGH!!!!!!!!!
elmer you cant talk to people like that!!!!!ha ha ha welcome to p. i.!!!!!!
