[DeTomaso] Bastard Beast purported to be a Pantera race car on ebay

[Garth Rodericks]

I doubt it's a Long and Neumann. The ones I've seen (albiet only in photographs) have very 
exacting bodies. This car does not. Check out the door, missing quarter window, surface 
mounted gill, and riveted-on wing window in this picture:

The whole thing is just wrong, and not even close to being a Pantera.

Could be a Long&Newman?!  The wierd thing is that if you look at the dash it
looks like a 71-73 Mustang dash.  The steering wheel is almost resting on the
seat too!

> Yikes! Don't know what it is, but it certainly is NOT a Pantera. Fiero
maybe? Looks like the seller is trying to pass it off as a real Pantera though
judging from the pics of the repro DeTomaso body tags. Caveat Emptor!
