That would explain the roll "cage". I especially like the single hood pin punched in the middle.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Why not just leave the "patina"?? Think of how you could ruffle the feathers of the purists at a car show with the first RAT ROD PANTERA!!!!!!!
A couple of Craftsman wrenches for suspension pieces, a spider web or two and a Mexican blanket..........BINGO, instant rat rod!!

I seriously think it would be great for a rat rod project. 5000 sounds steep when you look on ebay and see what drivable ones are going for. Where I grew up, there was a pink one that ran around town. We'd see it only occassionally, but what a beautiful ride. If the skin is usable, it could be dropped on an s10 frame, have a big block dropped in it, with straight header pipes too!
We could start a new trend, and do a de lorean next!
Such sacralidge could be fun

Not to burst your bubble, but the Pantera is a mid engined, rear transaxle driven drivetrain. To attempt to fit an engine in the bonnet (front trunk area) would be a feat not likely to succeed ................. Originally Posted by stovens

500 Caddy from a FWD Eldorado mounted in the rear, that 'might' work..... I know that DeTomaso Pantera's used Ford V8 engines.. Was Ford any part of the manufacture/ sale of them?You don't know what you've got til it's gone

A man was watching his wife as she prepared to fry sausages in a pan. He noticed that before placing the sausages in the pan, she always cut off both ends, threw them away, and cooked only the middle...
