[DeTomaso] Ebay Pantera SI Value?

[Pantdino]

A person would have to be an idiot to buy this car at anything like that price.

've had a few BIG projects like this one and I can tell you from the pictures, 
hat body is far far from being ready for paint.
o do that car right I would say there is easy 200 hours in just body panel 
lignment, finish mounting, filing, sanding, priming, sanding...on and on. 
n who knows the real condition of the panels...are they ready to bolt down, are 
here problems not evident in the pictures?
 would not bid on that car sight unseen. Seriously that body looks pretty rough 
rom very sketchy pictures. And you don't have any idea how the body was 
astened
own... it could be clamped in place for pictures? Looks like the deck lid was 
ust layed on the car for pictures. I think you could spend $10K to $20k just 
etting the 
ody completed and painted...then there's the rest of the car, the interior, the 
ngine and transaxle, the wiring....this would be a great project for someone 
etired 
ith a full shop at home. If I had a running Pantera that was sorted and I was 
ieing to have an SI, I would feel better getting the body panels from the 
endor that was mentioned
???) and creating my own clone. Rare body panels or not, it's a clone and not 
n original...finished is it worth $60 to 80K in today's market?
urchase price $25k + engine and zf $15k, Body work and paint $15k, labor to 
omplete $20k. I notice there are no bids at $25k. Oh and how is the
hasis....any rust? Just my two cents.
