[DeTomaso] Mecum Kissimmee

Agreed.  The only ³flaw² is the exhaust system.  I think the buyer that
wants that type of car would prefer it to have the Ansa system.  A car
virtually identical to that one, but I think with only 4,000 miles (and the
OE exhaust system) was at the Mecum show here in Austin about two years ago.
The bidding got to $80,000 and the seller walked.  I spoke to him briefly‹he
wasn¹t a Pantera guy, he had several cars at the auction and was all
business.  The highest bidder had approached me before the auction because I
was wearing a deTomaso shirt and wanted to know if I had one.  I told him I
had a ¹74 US GTS and he asked me how much I¹d take for it.  I told him it
wasn¹t for sale, but if it was, I wouldn¹t consider anything less than
$80,000 (that was two years ago).  He ended up bidding the red Pantera up to
$80,000 and stopped there.

   If that yellow car sold for $64K, I'd say that is very strong money. It
   was highly modified wth some unusual "personal" touches that I would
   have expected to hurt the value quite a bit more -- as some are not
   easy reversible. Have a look at the way the fender front edges meet the
   front hood. The interior is modified, but not that well if you look at
   the door panels and the bumps and bagging in the leather elsewhere. No
   shoulder belts? A broom holding up the rear decklid... there is a lot
   to question on this car, IMHO. I think the seller should be pleased.

   As far as I can tell, only one Pantera (of the 4 listed) at Mecum will
   provide any real indication of the state of the Pantera market, and it
   is this one:

     Downward trend or the usual low prices that you see at these
   auctions?
