[DeTomaso] Pantera with Automatic on ebay?

ZF was reported to have built 3 auto transaxles for evaluation in 1970 but 
they apparently wound up in a Ford landfill somewhere.   Wilkinson built at 
least two Panteras with undisclosed types of 3-speed auto trannys- possibly 
from big FWD European Renaults. But there definitely were NOT any 
factory-built automatic transaxles sold in DeTomasos. There were also no GT-5's built 
in late '72/early '73 either, which is where the listed serial number would 
place it. 
So this thing, if it was real-steel and not a pure Photoshop job, seems to 
be misrepresented on several counts. But the question is moot as the E-Bay 
auction was abruptly cancelled.
FWIW- J Deryke
