Was reading through the September '09 issue of Keith Martin's Sports Car
Market and found the following.

"1974 DeTomaso Pantera coupe S/N THPNNE06897, white/black vinyl, Odo 104
miles, 351 CI V-8, 5-sp.  Good panel fit per factory, very good paint
appears to be original, nice bright trim, black trim slightly faded. Very
good interior with some refurbishing on steering wheel boss, cond. 2, SOLD
AT $84,240 (Bonhams & Butterfiels, Greenwich, CT).  A true time capsule
Pantera as delivered by the dealer in 1975.  Why it was saved like this
remains a mystery, but here it is.  Was offered back in '05 at Kruse's Ft.
Lauderdale sale, where it then had 99 miles.  A no-sale then at $54K.  It
appears to have found it's audience.  As stock Panteras become harder to
find, this is a good yardstick."

A good yardstick indeed . . .

This looks to be the white car that was Buy it Now'd on Ebay a while back at
$125K.
