[DeTomaso] Need help selling a Pantera

[msm at portata.com]

This is message from Barry Allen.  Could someone in AZ take a look at it?


Hoping you folks can help me - one of my sisters in law passed away recently, and I've been charged with assisting in the sale of her Pantera. It's a fairly early car (vin THPNLS0193), Red over black, and is unfortunately on a CA Salvage title (for most of her adult life, she worked for a fellow who once owned a wrecking yard, and bought the car through him). From what I've been told, it was a theft recovery with no collision damage, but I have not yet been able to verify that info.

She acquired the car in Northern CA in the early 90's and took it with her to AZ when her boss moved his business there a few years later - from what I understand it's been in inside storage there for at least 15 years.

I can't keep the car (no space or time for another car), so I'm trying to determine where best to advertise it for sale, and also trying to get some idea of what an appropriate selling price might be. She was once a member of your organization, but I believe she allowed her membership to lapse some years back - her name was Pat (Patricia) Carothers, in case she still appears on an inactive membership registry somewhere....

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.
