     Actually, that last one wouldn't be worth the trouble.  The seller is
     clearly on crack based on the asking price, and it would need too
   much
     money and work to put it back to something resembling a Pantera.
     As far as drivetrains are concerned, modestly damaged donor Tesla's
   are
     readily available quite inexpensively - for just about the same money
     as a professionally rebuilt Cleveland...

     FWIW, for several years I've thought it would be fun to splash a mold
     from a Vallelunga and build my own EV Vallelunga replica.  That would
     be cool!
