DeTomaso Pantera</h2><p style="padding: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; line-height: 18px; font-family: sans-serif,Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline;"></p><p style="padding: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; line-height: 18px; font-family: sans-serif,Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline;">
At Mecum, <a style="padding: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; color: rgb(187, 49, 0); text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent;" href="http://www.mecum.com/auctions/lot_detail.cfm?LOT_ID=FL0114-172060&entryRow=2893" target="_blank">you'd have paid $49,500</a> to take home a 1974 example of the increasingly desirable Pantera. At Barrett-Jackson, a 1971 car <a style="padding: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; color: rgb(187, 49, 0); text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent;" href="http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/onlinesubmission/lotdetails.aspx?ln=1650&aid=525" target="_blank">would have set you back $48,400</a>. The difference is originality -- the early B-J car is tuned, to put it mildly, with flashy five-spokes and a nitrous-oxide system. Depending on your perspective, this is either a huge improvement or an unacceptable desecration. Compare that to the “highly original” Mecum car.</p>
<p style="padding: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; line-height: 18px; font-family: sans-serif,Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline;"></p><p style="padding: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; line-height: 18px; font-family: sans-serif,Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="padding: 0px; border: 0px currentColor; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent;">Winner:</b> We'd vote for the unmolested car at Mecum, but that's personal preference at play. This one's inconclusive.</p>
