Subject: Low miles Cat looking for good home!

I happened to spot Pantera # 7132 for sale today.  The 1974 Cat advertises

under 15,000 orig miles and still wears the worn out Arivas on fine looking

Campys.  It looks like a fine specimen of an fairly well maintained machine,

all original stock except that the stock air cleaner is missing.  Orig red

paint in good condition, a couple of scratches through the paint. I didn't

see any telltale signs of damage anywhere.  Undercarriage looks XLNT as does

the front chin, front luggage compartment, interior, rear bucket and top of

engine. All external emblems remain on the car sans the front grill emblem.

No decals on sides of car.  It has an early dash in good shape, console is

in XLNT shape as is headliner.  Door panels look good though have HUGE square

speakers installed.  I saw no upgrades or aftermarket items on the car other

than side door mirrors, air cleaner, a stereo ( with booster in the front

luggage compartment)  and a digital clock mounted on the 1st Series console

in place of the Air Conditioning Thermostat Switch.  The front "L" bumper was

pretty wavy.  The rear taillight lens ( early with amber ) had a chip out of

it at the screw.   It does look "low miles" though there are about a dozen

door dents throughout. This Cat will definitely be proud with a new coat of

paint.

I didn't get a look under the bucket (sorry),

Eugene at Cardiff Classics in Encinitas CA just put it up for sale @ $25K.

He will smog it ....hopefully the very last time this cat has to endure that

bureaucratic scam.

Hope this helps those of you in search of your formidable feline.
