Julian,
I don't think the Guara body was a production body. I think it was just a clay o
r plastic mockup, but I'm not positive about that. You're right though--if it wa
s a genuine body it would have had considerable worth, especially if it could be
mated to one of the several burned-out Guaras that are out there. (Guaras had d
efective fuel line plumbing, not unlike Lamborghini Gallardos, and have shown an
unfortunate propensity to burst into flame with very little provocation....)

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.....
