I'm with you--which is why I put a complete interior from a 1974 Pantera into
my 1972 Pre-L. If I had to do it all over again, I probably wouldn't have
bothered though.
European GTS Panteras probably have the best of all possible worlds, as they
all have the single-pod late-style-looking dash (although in fact it is
completely different from the normally encountered single-pod dash in function and
construction), with the pre-L bumperettes, and often desirable goodies such as
an aluminum intake manifold, Holley carburetor, GTS exhaust system, and 8/10
inch wheels. But Euro GTS Panteras are fairly thin on the ground in the USA.
