IMHO
there are 6 kinds of running Panteras
1) All Original2) Mildly Modified with removeable elements where originality is attainable3) Mechanically Modified ( not easily reversable) while maintaining an Original look

4) Highly Modified in both Ext appearence and/or Mechanically5) A clone of a GTS, GT4, GT5, etc.6) I started with a Pantera.........
Michael Shortt ( I'd consider  mine in the 3rd category )

I hope that the Pantera folks don't start getting roiling underwear about originality in Panteras.  We would all be sunk then! ---BILL Lewis

In a story about aJan auctions, Mecum vs BJ.




DeTomaso Pantera



At Mecum, you'd have paid $49,500 to take home a 1974 example of the increasingly desirable Pantera. At Barrett-Jackson, a 1971 car would have set you back $48,400. The difference is originality -- the early B-J car is tuned, to put it mildly, with flashy five-spokes and a nitrous-oxide system. Depending on your perspective, this is either a huge improvement or an unacceptable desecration. Compare that to the “highly original” Mecum car.







Winner: We'd vote for the unmolested car at Mecum, but that's personal preference at play. This one's inconclusive.
