Seven Pantera's come up listed when I look at eBay Motors.
I think when this car came up for discussion a couple weeks ago someone verified asking price at $139K. Given all the Ford paperwork that accompanies it and it's standing as the last US delivered Ford production Pantera, it's probably a good investment candidate and not ridiculously overpriced.
That said I would recommend that any potential purchaser conduct a thorough inspection and due diligence if Dan Mershon has a hand in it.

Opened Ebay Motors, Detomaso, then Pantera, then Detomaso Pantera, listed highest price first. No silver or orange car, but two reds. There was a nice '69 Goose though.
Can you send a link to what you're seeing? Might need to shrink it with www.tinyurl.com<http://www.tinyurl.com>.
TinyURL.com - shorten that long URL into a tiny URL<http://www.tinyurl.com/>

Hey!
So two low mileage cars pop up this morning on eBay, out in OH at same dealership. #6032 (Silver) has 4K miles on it and presents very well. #7380 (orange- last US prod car....) has 17K on the clock.
In comparing the two cars and pictures, the 6032 seems very reasonable to support low mileage. You can actually see blue paint on the oil pan and headers etc look clean, chassis components have no rust..chipped paint....etc.
However, when you flip over to the car with 17K on it, the scene changes........the oil pan looks like it's on a car with 100K, appearing to have oil and dirt accumulated in great quantity. However, picture isn't all that good....... Half shafts also show lots of dirt accumulated. ZF looks very used as well.....
It just seems like for 17K miles, supposedly while in the hands of a collector, that the eyeballs are telling me that this has more like 77K on it......
If I could see pedal pads that would help.....presuming that they are still present.....
Anyone else notice this?
Ciao!
Steve
