Mike is right...no tool kit? Deduct at least $10k.
No books? Deduct the same...

>>>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!
