I met a guy at Barrett-Jackson, selling his "original" Pantera (S/N 3008). He obtained the car is 1980 from the first owner.
With all his "original" stuff - he got this glove.
He said that Ford packed these gloves in every new Pantera sold - it was used when you pull the spare out, so you don't get your hand dirty.
I have never heard of this, but I told him I would check it out, and get back to him.
OBTW... His car sold last night for $102K (112K with Buyer's Commission).

Does NOT sound correct!
A mixed bumper car for 112k!
Wow!
Dear Rocky,
1) This is first I have heard of the OEM FoMoCo spare tire glove in Panteras
2) I bought Pantera #7171 with 2100 miles on it and it had all the original items you're familiar with on stock original Panteras. I did not find an OEM Spare Tire Glove.
3) I am very skeptical about this.
Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
Does the seller have Ocean front property in Arizona to sell also lol!!??

The glove looks like something the court would order a kleptomaniac to wear when out in public.
Rather than Ford could it be a bright idea of a local Lincoln / Mercury dealer?
I generally agree with all the sentiments expressed here - but I am trying to keep this focused on "the glove".
I tend to be skeptical of this too, but I told the guy I would ask. I'll let him know.

PS> In his defense, he is going to send the engine screen to the buyer (he forgot it at home). He also stated the small metal bumpers are going with the car.
PSS> I updated my first post to put quotes around the "original".
PSSS> I saw a lot of cars selling for prices that surprised me... some higher, and some lower. My track record of guessing the final prices was very bad yesterday.
Wow somebody paid too much. That's what happens when the economy is flush with money, and there's lots of testosterone in the air. Now he gets to spend a whole lot more getting it in driveable shape.
The glove story must have put it over the top.
I’m going into production on them!
EVERY “original” car needs one!
Here is an "original" tire glove that came with my green car!!LMAO!
You guys crack me up!
