Pantera-buying is best pursued with great patience.  Lot's of good cars out there, and probably even more not-so-good.  This is an early car, likely 1971.  Most likely to have rrust issues.  Has a stupid wing (personal taste).  Lots of miles will mean trans syncros may need attention.  Remember on this car you have to open the rear deck lid to refuel.  If no rust, still might need lot's of restoration.  Little surprising the bids have gone past 25K.  A good aspect is it's mostly original.

He put the listing under ford pantera, so unless you are looking for a ford you won't find it. It ends on Saturday. If you would,,, check it out and let me know what you think.
