1973 Pantera vs. 1971 Mustang
Front Fenders removable vs NOT
Rear quarters reproduced by several vendors vs NOT
Bottom line:
a few thousand sold vs hundreds of thousands sold
Which makes more monetary sense as a vendor? It's simple economics really.
There are some of the Pantera vendors who try to recover anything they
can from a wrecked or discarded Pantera, including body panels. So
there are a few out there. When I visited Pantera Performance Center,
Dennis had a few carcasses he'd been pulling parts from for years.
But I don't know that anyone is reproducing major body panels.
