[DeTomaso] More on the rustbucket Pantera

[Sean Korb]

Not much left even as a buck to form new sheet metal against.  Maybe
the wiring harness is good? ;)

Even if the seller *paid* $19,500 for me to take it away, I'd still be
in the hole a long way.  But it's still salvageable.  It's just not a
good idea economically or even as a good use of time.  And that makes
me a little sad because the car's fate does not look good.  If it were
a Gull Wing Mercedes or a Miura or even a Vellenunga or Mangusta, I
think there would be more hope.
