$300 is cheep for a Pantera A/C repair.  I just got done today putting all

new hoses on a '74 GT-4.  After 25 years hose just don't hold R-12 like they

used to.  A new rotery compressor conversion as also a costly item.  Part of

the conversion is to put a cycling switch on the reciever/drier to turn the

compressor on and off as needed.  Someone already did that on the GT-4 so I

didn't have to.  Its rare to see a bill under $500.00.  Also up north here we

put in a shut off valve in one of the heater hoses.  In the summer we turn

the water off to the heater core.  In the winter we open it up.  It helps

because the factory water control does not shut off all the way.
