I think it would be easier to list what id doesn't need, although  in

what he will be in need of!

     It wouldn't surprise me that the engine and trans don't actually go

     imagine
     the sellers will want to keep those items for a later sale because
     they
     could fetch so much more money. A I think they were simply dropped
     in to
     "show" how an engine and transmission would sort of look in a
     Pantera...
     just to help it sell.
     Just for fun, let's compile a list of things the prospective buyer
     will
     need to keep their eye for to complete this car... hmmm, shall we?
     - Headlight buckets (and probably all the wiring that goes with
     them)
     - A new front valence from Johnny Woods
     - Radiator
     - Radiator fans
     - Radiator shroud (top, the sides look like they are in the spare
     parts)
     - Radiator hoses (a full set, top to bottom, front to back)
     - Probably new under car cooling tubes
     - Clutch master
     - Brake master
     - oh, and a Battery
     - Windshield
     - New mirrors
     - Interior Door pulls and handles
     - The correct seats (?)
     - Shift gate
     - Maybe new gauges (sheesh, it looks like the one featured was
     sand-blasted)
     - New dash, since this one is delaminating and is cracked
     - Seat belts
     - New steering wheel cover, or new wheel, take your pick
     - some minor pesky rust repairs... oh but it's ARIZONA rust so it
     can't
     be that bad
     - Gas tank and presumably all it's associated plumbing
     - An engine and transmission (the correct ones of course)
     - Exhaust system
     - Swirl tank
     - Overflow tank (yes, the one pictured is probably full of holes)
     - AC pump if you're into staying cool in the Arizona or California
     sun
     - AC condensor
     - AC condersor fan
     - AC condensor fan shroud
     - Half shafts
     - The sway bar bushing straps that hold the sway bar to the body in
     the
     rear (look close)
     - I think at least one new Campy wheel (it looks like one is cracked
     and
     missing a chunk). A Note these are hard to match... ask Mike Drew.
     - oh... and a deck lid
     - deck lid shocks
     Otherwise it's about as stock as you can get*
     Salvageable yes, cost a lot, oh yea.
