[DeTomaso] Really Rough Pantera/ radio delete plate?

[Julian Kift]

Reproduction radio delete plates are available, Maserati Source has them listed on eBay;

http://www.ebay.com/itm/DETOMASO-PANTERA-NEW-CORRECT-PRODUCTION-RADIO-PLATE-/310294825911?hash=item483f034bb7:m:m8JOUGSJnBaWzv8G34BVPDQ&vxp=mtr

I have a Kenwood stereo that is flip face and flat black when closed. I put a chrome Pantera radio delete decal on it, best of both Worlds!

Saw a rough-looking dude with a rough-looking old pushbutton in the
"Pantera Corral" at Cars n Coffee a long time ago.  He said he drove
it a lot. Wouldn't call it a Rat Rod though, as that term kinda means
to me flat black paint/bare metal/unfinished sanding with all manner
of DIY art-junk holding it all together. Which might be kind of
interesting, if some resourceful, talented builder took a beater
Pantera and ratted it out.
But this thing just looked like a scary rust-bucket that ran. What I
want off that eBay car is the radio-delete plate with the cat on it.
Very cool!   Anybody aware of these being available out there?  I'd
jump at the chance to delete my radio/cd unit that the engine laughs
at whenever I try to use it.

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?
