While speaking with all these companies, it might be worthwhile to try to 
explore if they DO have a rotor for some other application that would work?   
Given that the bolt pattern is common to Dodge and Ford, I would think it 
likely that an existing rear rotor for some other vehicle would easily be 
adapted to the rear of the Pantera.

Pantera front and rear rotors are a different diameter, by the way--the 
fronts are slightly smaller.   Pat Orlando measured a couple for me and gave me 
very rough measurements of 11 3/4 rear and 11 1/4 front.   I've seen other 
rotors measured at 297mm and 284mm, which is roughly the same.   So although 
Mustang rotors have been used on all four corners, I think there are some 
fitment issues (I don't know if they're too big for the front or too small 
for the rear).

It would take a lot of research, but I bet if somebody provided the 
manufacturers with EXACT measurements of stock Pantera rotors, something would come 
up that would work as a direct-fit replacement....
