[DeTomaso] Something other than tires - Twin Turbo Pantera on Ebay

[Tom Shinrock]

 If you look at the shot of the open driver's door you see that the top of the door panels is straight and doesn't following the upward curve of the front of the door.   You also see that the door panels don't cover the top of the door to the window, they are just screwed to the door along the top edge. 

I saw that this VIN was in the registry which shows that the car at that time was being built as a race car.  The comments from the owner/seller said to not even think about converting the car back to a street car.  Apparently the current owner didn't see it that way.  Wonder how many other "modifications" this car has.

    Mike, I don't see what you are addressing; however, door panels are    an easy fix.  WOuldn't be a deal breaker in my book.

I            was thinking that was a pretty nice car until I saw the            “replacement” door panels which look to be simply attached            over the top of the original ones.  How tacky can you get?

This              great looking Pantera is on Ebay right now and I'm not              much familiar with forced induction, but this is the first              time I have seen a turbo setup with a carb on top and not              pressurizing through the carb via a hat or enclosed carb?
          
            
 
          
          
            
I                have seen screw type superchargers with carb(s) atop and                can see how they would maintain a suction seal through                the carb, but I'm struggling to see how the turbo would                do so?
