Missing the air cleaner. Pass.
Sad. Very sad in so may ways
Looks like the lower A-arm on the RH side is not bent...
Most of that will buff right out...
Just needs a good detail!
Appears to be in good company if you look behind it.
High potential car... some fixes here and there and you have a road killer
Heater box looks ok. No, really.
Seriously, selling off the few good parts I doubt you could get very close to even $1000.
It would cost you that much to have the hulk shipped to you.
I wish someone would roll that through (on a dolly) at a Mecum auction.
The shattered bellhousing/transmission are interesting.
It looks like it was a prop in an atmospheric nuclear test.
Anxiety.
He said he would take 11k for the broken zf. What!?
the only thing I might pay for would be the story of the wreck!
It was obviously in reverse when it crashed so it couldn't have been going very fast. 
Backed up off a cliff, then hit by a meteor?
(This needs to be added to the registry. When this shows up as a nice car we'll know the VIN has been re-purposed or that the greatest fabricator that has ever lived bought it.)

I'm sure Chuck and his assistants catch everything on eBay. I've also added the VIN and pictures to this topic. Its here now, for posterity.
...Hey, But the Ash Tray is present! I'am In! MJ
Here is a good article that just dropped into my email on the above mentioned vehicle.

...my dad's a TV repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools...I can fix it.
You guys think that cars bad? Theres a worse one I've seen pics of burried in a warehouse in Hialeah. It is completely crushed, MUCH worse than this one. Got crushed, that is, when the HOUSE fell on it, after the FIRE burnt the house down! It's a burned pancake.
Yeah that car it's like seeing your buddies kids out of control., Makes you feel good about your kids. No matter how bad your restoration project seems it ain't that bad! I love that car I hope it goes for 20 grand
That is one seriously destroyed Pantera. Complete restoration is about as likely as them getting $16K for it, clean title or not, and I’m not seeing much in the way of usable parts.
I’m going to go sit in the garage and stare at mine and be thankful that it’s in one drivable piece.
Let's play point out the parts that might be usable:
brake booster plate
booster?
master cylinder
clutch master cylinder (but reservoir is destroyed)
1 windshield wiper arm
windshield wiper motor might be there
hood latch
stock radiator (doubtful, but it is there and does not seem to be bent)
passenger side front A-arm
AC box
transaxle shiftbox and linkage
door switch
intake manifold
heads
block?
10 lug nuts
gas cap
