[DeTomaso] 1972 Project Car on BaT

Wow.  I don't think I've seen a bigger rust bucket.  It has rust holes in the roof and floor, so at least the rain can go all the way through.  The only parts that don't look rusted are the glass, and maybe the rubber.

I thought it might be a good candidate to rebody - GT5-S or one of those car shows where they turn it into a Frankenstein.  But man - everything is rusted.

That's the first time I've seen an engine access cover that looked like that.  Is that from an early car?

       Everyone, the 'rust bucket' project '72 Pantera currently listed on
       BringATrailer is near me in the Atlanta area.  I am trying to arrange a
       visit to see the car even though the seller is on vacation.  If anyone
       is interested in me looking for something specific or a picture that
       was not provided on BaT, please email me (bcartus at yahoo.com) soon.  I'm
       not interested in this car for myself, but will assist POCA folks that
       might be.

       Guys,
       Stumbling thru this "very easy" conversion......with absolutely no
       instructions other than for mounting the new AC pump/alt bracket.????
       Everything after that is free??? Free to find it wherever you
       can.......?? I'll stop here for the moment.
       Back history: I am removing a 130Amp Ford 3G alternator and installing
       a 97A GM 12si version.?? No, I do not need all the amperage.......no
       EFI, no big stereo.....
       SO, down to the two terminals on the alternator.? #1 and #2.??? Bat+ is
       pretty evident.......duh!
       This is what I can glean from Google, but who knows how good their
       search is these days....since I'm not looking to buy
       anything.....grrrrr.....? I have this:
       Terminal #1 appears to be for the dash lamp and will connect to the
       Blue/Black(Stripe) wire formerly on the voltage regulator term "I" and
       this needs to be "Key ON" not 100% of the time or it will drain your
       battery......albeit slowly.???
       Terminal #2 is the Voltage Sense and can be connected 100% of the time
       (or Key ON only if you like) which I believe is a Yellow wire, terminal
       "A" from the old harness.
       Regulator Terminals? S (Green/Red stripe) & F (Orange) are no longer
       used. (internal stator windings and control)
       If anyone can give me a thumbs up on this, it would come in handy about
       now.
       Now I just need to find the damned new pigtail connector that I bought
       a couple of days back, before I started tearing my car apart!!!??? It's
       around here somewhere......? and I'm rearranging components on my
       starter solenoid/coil panel to boot.? Need new room for heater hose
       support and my inline rust filter!? I don't want my heater hoses laying
       on the alternator!
       Thanks in advance!
