[DeTomaso] Front hood latch

[Larry Finch]

Front trunk latch, and I concur with Forest, only one style for all cars, can also be found on Fiat 124 Sport cars.

This style latch is very common to Fiats and was used on Panteras and at least one Ferrari. There are different versions of this latch that are visually-close cousins.

One looks totally correct, until you realize it is reverse-built for the release cable to enter from the other side of the car.

None currently on USA eBay. There are always some to be found on Italy eBay. Expect to pay about $60.00 to get it to your door

Or you can pay double from a closer, and quicker, USA Pantera vendor.

P.S. - Photo of 124 version and one (slightly crushed) Pantera version off 2511. Note the bottom ‘arm’ is not an exact match, that arm also has added portion seen in the oval window to the right. 
             
	 But function is a duplicate for the Pantera version.
