Could those handles be for the Mercedes 350SL, 450SL convertible roof? Here
is a link to a Mercedes vendor that sells roof handles that look similar to
what you have.

A A Craigslist and was figuring out if I could just drive over,
install it

in
A A excellent condition, and had in fact been "recarpeted" with 1/4
inch

5332,
A A making me think it did, in fact, come off of a '72.A But,
given it was

A A levers that they were sure fit a Pantera, heck, worth getting,
and
A A putting on the ceiling until someone needs it.
A A So, any idea what these levers go to - they look like perhaps
external
A A door handles?
A A Turns out that, including the above goodies (plus a Honda
radio/glove
A A box insert they were just positive fit a Pantera) they also
mentioned
A A they had rims to get rid of.A Turns out the guy "blew up" the
engine in
A A their '72 and promptly sold it to a dealer with the 17 inch
rims that
A A were on the car.A He ended up with two 7 inch and two 10 inch
rims (see
A A attached photo's).A Which had been in his attic for 15 years.
A A From what I can tell, looking at the photos provided by M Short
some
A A time ago, the 10 inch is a later L-model rim.A Did they ever
come with
A A the black Campy script as shown on the attached pictures?A
Both the 7
A A and the 10 inch rims had the decals.A The 7 inch rims have
softer edges
A A to the raised sections than the 10 inch rims.A My guess is
that all of
A A the rims have been powder-coated in the past, and that someone
mated a
A A pair of 7's to a pair of 10's - in as much as I thought I

A A that cars that had 10 inch rims on the back typically had 8
inch rims
A A on the front.A But the 7 inch rims look like they might be
later
A A L-model rims, based on the webbing towards the center of the
rim.
A A Anyone with more knowledge of the arcane trivia of Pantera Rims
care to
A A comment on what it is I bought?
A A NTL, in a previous Craigslist find, I ended up with two 8-inch
rims
A A that appear to be in excellent condition.A So, end of the day
I have
A A 8's and 10's that will be going on 5332.
