I saw this on ebay. Now the real question is what is the real going price for an original tool roll with the tools entact.

When I want to gauge the current value of any item I am interested in, I look at the "Completed Listing" section of ebay, here is a "Sold" Pantera tool kit...

I bought a complete tool roll in good condition about 6 months ago for $300 plus shipping.
I looked for several months, most kits were incomplete or in poor condition.
I felt the price I paid was pretty fair for the market.

I am also a buyer for a complete kit. I don't believe the one currently on e-bay is accurate. No straps or buckles on bag, no screwdriver.

Mike has had a few nice ones and they have sold for no less than $600.00 with the jack. I am a buyer at $500.00.

Out of curiosity, I don't understand the attraction to someone with a highly modified car. Isn't the goal to update, upgrade, and remove all things original. I doubt it adds any value as opposed to an original car, so if you want to reunite yours to a concurs original, I will take it off your hands Kitty.

I get the originality thing, I have several cars and I agree, somethings are best left stock.
In the case of #3914, I bought it with the interior work and the body kit already done. It had a blown engine and a crappy paint job. I painted the car Lambo pearl orange and had a new engine bored and stroked. I actually sold the car several years ago but the new owner has been pretty cool about letting me keep it as my Avatar.
I am gathering parts for my next pantera build which will be a scaled down wide body, most likely Lambo pearl Yellow with black trim.

Ebay tool kit brought just over $1,000. I bid off at $660. Oh well, guess I'll hunt down my missing screwdrivers on my own!

Far as the tool kit, looking at it more reasonably, that came to maybe $50 per item, plus the bag and jack, so not exactly crazy money.

The original tools are junk, why would anyone want them. How about having a run of ballistic nylon rolls made with PANTERA spelled out, the we can put decent tools in them?
Come up with a list of tools that you might actually use and have the rolls made with pockets for them?

There is this on ebay:

Does anyone really carry a spare any more? Otherwise, why carry a jack?

If you want a concours level presentation then a mint condition, complete, original tool set is worth it's weight in gold.
