[DeTomaso] Original Owner 72 just appeared on BaT

[Mike Drew]

Will,

All Panteras came with those covers over the shoulder harness bolt. 

It’s part 20A in the diagram:

Also note part 24, a plastic hook to hold the shoulder harness when not in use. That’s a rarely seen part these days also.

   Will,

   All Panteras came with those covers over the shoulder harness bolt.

   It's part 20A in the diagram:

   Also note part 24, a plastic hook to hold the shoulder harness when not
   in use. That's a rarely seen part these days also.

   It's the first time I've seen that.  It looks original.
