[DeTomaso] Still Looking for a perfect Pre L Red/Black Pantera

Hello,
I have #2290 that kind of fits your requirements with a couple of caveats.
I was planning on fixing what's wrong and keeping it but may also consider a sale. 
Michael Shortt knows this car by the way.
1971 pre L, pretty much stock. Approx 31,000 miles.
One repaint in red ( orig color was medium green/kind of an aqua color).
#'s match 351 Cleveland and correct ZF. Stock Campy's.
It's all there but needs a couple big items to be top of the food chain.
Bad news:
Motor has a knock but runs like a champ. My best guess is a wrist pin or bearing.
There is a rust area by the starter that would need repair. Gotta pull the engine anyway.
Couple of minor electrical switch gremlins.
If going all the way I would do a re spray of  the paint also. 
Doing all the above would give you a Pantera to be proud of I think.
Happy to email pics.
Good luck with your search!
Mark Hemphill
#2290.
