[DeTomaso] Ebay Pantera 5112

[Nolan]

Hello Matt,
Normally I have a que sera sera point of view to others modifications, but golly, that just took an exceptional car and really messed it up.

They must be selling it because it turned out absolutely HORID. 

What a shame.

Nolan

Slow on the forum. Ran across this while casually searching for the mystery Ebay 351C engine posted earlier without a link.
Some may be more familiar with the car than I but it's the first time I've seen it.
It's up for grabs from PI motorsports though it's not listed on their website,which it seems hasn't been updated for some time.
Anyway it's highly modified (think Transformers) which isn't my cup of tea but it looks well done and very clean with many entertaining mods.
Now the thing is it's listed in the Provamo registry(thanks Bill) with some history and pics.
Log in and check it out.

And now a thousand miles later it been modernized with a hefty price tag to boot. One less very nice original example on the planet.
I just find it odd that someone would make an exceptional original car into this and then just sell it. Mind boggled.
Can anyone make sense of it?
Bueller?
