[DeTomaso] 73 on BaT - #4604

[Dave McManus]

Mike,
This is my old car. I can't believe the front & rear bumpers were changed to the terrible looking ones. The grill was black. Headlights fit perfectly.
What a difference 11 years makes. I know the car sold 3x  after I sold it. I sold it for 58K in 2012, as I remember to a guy in SF. Two months later he sold it for about 100K. it sold two more times for 125K

It was a very nice car years ago! I remember you hated the wheels.

Joe,

They don’t look right on this car because the person who installed them is a moron. :(

The bumpers are supposed to be parallel to the ground, which coincidentally is parallel to the top of the turn signal housing. Couldn’t be easier. 

Whoever did this car had apparently never seen a Pantera before so the bumpers were installed WAY crooked, parallel with the top surface of the fender. If they were all built like that we might accept it. But because none of them were built like that, it looks terrible to our eyes. Another heavily modified Pantera sold on BaT a few. Moths ago with the same mistake. It looks super-weird. 

As long as your guys are committed to installing your bumpers properly, I guarantee you will be happy with them. 👍

Mike
