Mike is right...no tool kit? Deduct at least $10k.

No books? Deduct the same...

If they are correct and original...yes.

>>>I once had just one piece of a stock Pantera tool kit.   it's the bit that engages the lug nuts on one end, and is turned by the ratcheting handle on the other, and has a plastic disc that you hold to support it.   It was kind of rusty and crappy-looking.

Turns out the Iso Grifo and Bizzarrini both use the same setup.   A guys restoring a Bizzarrini found out via the internet that I had this thing floating around, and bought it from me for a hundred bucks or something like that!

It astounds me that a full, original tool kit can add $5-10K to the value of a high-end Ferrari, Lambo, Aston Martin etc.   I think the tool kits were purchased as a kit, and thus the Pantera kit might be identical to those used in some of those other Italian cars.   Imagine buying a nice, stock Pantera, lifting the tool kit out of the trunk and selling it to some Iso guy for $5K!
