[DeTomaso] 72 Rescue Project on BaT

[Asa Jay Laughton]

I bought my first Pantera in California back in about 1999.  It was 
-very- similar to this car, having been stored for a decade or two. 
However, in my case it was all original; the engine had never been out, 
and it was a driven car.  If I recall it had close to or over 100,000 
miles on it.  It was literally an everyday driver for the owner.

The executor of the estate cleaned it up, put a new battery in it, and 
it ran.

With one exception in this listing, this is a Pantera I would pick up if 
I had the funds.  I think it's a very decent car that does not need a 
lot to make it roadworthy and turn heads in the neighborhood.

Just my opinion. :)
