[DeTomaso] Really Rough Pantera on Ebay at $25K

[Joseph F. Byrd, Jr.]

I need to clarify, the physical condition of 5177 is "similar", it is NOT as
original and had higher mileage, so I can see the ebay car bringing more.

Now, I am thinking...Has anyone ever done a "Rat Rod" Pantera, keeping it
original and just refresh the mechanical for driving?
