  The last time this car was on e-bay it was actually listed under the Detomaso  and Pantera category. I don't think the current seller is claiming the car is an authentic Detomaso. When the first seller listed it as a Detomaso And I contacted him and several other people from the list contacted him and we all told him his car was not a Detonaso Pantera and he needed to modify his ad to reflect the actual nature of the car he was attempting to sell. He ignored us and actually got quite rude and told us to mind our own business. When I contacted E-bay they did absolutely nothing. They didn't care and they made no effort  to modify or pull the listing. All e-bay is interested in is collecting their fees. I was very surprised I thought ebay would try to block fraudulent listings when they were pointed out. I even got the California state police involved. Ebay didn't seem to care.

      That would be a possible motive for some uninformed person to buy this
      "thing" But the last reported sale price for the "beast"was over $8000.00
      That's without a ZF. By the time you add a ZF and the rest of the parts you
      would need to make this car any where near "whole" you will undoubtedly need
      to spend more then you would have to spend to purchase one of the less
      expensive authentic Panteras available in the current depressed economy.

        There's another possible motive for building such a car besides
        crookedness; poor-ness!   I don't know the intimate details of the
        fabricated Pantera,
        but when Judy and I were actively autocrossing all over Northern CA, there
        was an odd looking kit-Cobra from San Jose also running. The owner freely
        admitted that with a wife & 3 kids, he simply couldn't afford a 'real' kit
        from
        any of the many suppliers. What he got was a reject front clip from one
        maker and a reject rear clip from another... and put them together on his
        own
        frame. As I remember, it looked a little out of proportion but ran well...
        until he decided to hot-dog the last turn at a DeAnza College event,
        smacked a
        concrete light pole with the passenger door and broke the car in two. Don't
        know whatever happened to the car; the builder- Jeff Jio- retired quite a
        few years ago. Remember him, Bob?
