You are right.  Don't modify a car like that unless you plan to keep it until you die.  What your heirs get for it will not be your problem. :-)

mike,
Your certainly right about the expense. The interior looks like the hall leather package that was around $5k last time I looked, the wheels are easily another $4k, the polished ZF and engine looks like a small fortune and then the body conversion? I think the car could easily have $20 to 25K  spent on it that wasn't recouped.

Wow, seems like its in great condition. Is it me, or with all this talk of prices going up, doesn't $53k seem awful cheap?


Big flares, wings, tacky wheels, etc. etc. all cost a lot of money AND hurt the value of the car.   If this car was bone stock (or stock-looking at least) it would have fetched substantially more.

Don't spend money modifying a Pantera because you think you are going to get it back when you sell it.   Only do so because you want to, i.e. do it for YOU, not to try to appeal to the next guy....
