Hi all,
POCA was recently contacted by someone looking for the Pantera once
belonging to their grandfather. It was sold by an uncle when the
grandfather died, much to the dismay of the rest of the family. Now the
granddaughter is trying to relocate the car and make contact with the
present owner.
The car last appeared in 2003 from what they've been able to put
together. VIN is 4004 and does appear in Chuck's registry but is short
on data. It was an original white car but the registry claims it to be
red now; don't know if that's true.
Please see their last email to me below. If you have any idea where
this car is, I would like to put you in touch with the granddaughter.
Please email me privately.
Thank you,
Asa Jay

Asa Jay,
My name is Sean, I am Erica's boyfriend and I am doing what I am able to
do to help her track down this Pantera. She heard back from her uncle
about an hour ago and he was able to tell her that it is a 1972, and
that the last 4 digits of the VIN are 4004, which is how I see you
identify your cars.
I was able to find this link to the original ebay ad which had some
pictures and a little information on the car. It is the ad posted by her
uncle back in March of 2003.

After finding all this information she logged me onto the message board
and upon searching for the VIN came up with this very brief thread with
a member stating that they purchased the car.

As I am sure you can see it appears that this member is no longer a
member of the board. I am not quite sure where to go from this point
after these searches and some attemped reconsruction of what the VIN may
look like in completetion I was not able to find anything else via basic
searches online.
Erica and her mom were very pleased and quite emotional seeing the old
ebay ad of the car as they recognized the home in the back ground. I
certainly appreciate any help that you could give them in their search.
Thanks for your time,
Sean and Erica
