>>>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!
