     I was driving in Humble, TX today and passed an auto repair shop
     with
     many classic cars parked out front.A  To my surprise I saw an orange
     Pantera among them.A  As I passed by I wrestled with whether to
     stop.
     About a mile later, I told myself to do so.
     The new owner has it at the shop for metal repair.A  While the
     exterior
     looks good, the frame rails and front valence were toast. Left me
     suspect that body work was previous done to the exterior. For the
     sake
     of the current owner, I hope well.
     I spoke briefly with the shop owner and he pointed out it was the
     Gas
     Monkey car.A  I confirmed it is true matching vins on Chuck's site.
     Here
     are a few shots of the car.A  I suspect it was originally a GTS
     based on
     the stars in the vin.
     Shrunk the pics to the max. Yet, files may still be to large for
     POCA list.
