[DeTomaso] Custom Pantera Cable Shift Kit?

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Yea, but Chuck, you should realize that one is made for a FORD Pantera, 
not a De Tomaso Pantera, so your mileage may vary.  ;)

Actually, it looks very similar to another cable shifter offering seen 
here several months ago.

I spoke with James Malin about the kit this morning. He has about four installed on running cars and two more sold to cars under restoration. All of the Panteras are in the New England area except for one under construction in California.

Price is about $1200-1300 for the kit which can be installed by the average Pantera owner in a weekend afternoon ( those weekend afternoons usually stretch to the whole weekend in my garage........).
