Holy cow Batman, I'm sure the seller is devastated, I guess that's where a 'no reserve' auction can bite you. But as they say value is what the market determines and automobilia like this takes up a lot of space, the Nuevo Pantera probably deserves to be in a museum.
At that price the Guara body may represent a cheap source of parts to marry up with the burnt out shell of a Guara PIM still has for sale.

Guys,
A few days ago we were speaking of the De Tomaso mock-up bodies that were coming up for auction in Sotheby's in England. I reported that I believed they had simply been snatched from the De Tomaso facility after having been abandoned by De Tomaso, then tarted up and marketed by a hopeful punter who was seeking something on the order of 100k Euros for the Nuevo Pantera.
After years of trying and failing to find a buyer, he put them up for auction. The Guara was just a bare body with no chassis or wheels. It was estimated at $40-51k but sold for only $4,536. The Nuevo Pantera was estimated at $90-116k but sold for only $20,737.
Both represent very realistic selling prices in my view.....
