Thomas,



Only the very earliest Panteras came with fresh-air intake.  I know there are

several owners with pushbutton cars or early '71's (Brian, William, Ted, Don,

the list goes on...), and they'd be the ones most qualified to tell how the

factory goes about it.



(As an aside, for you fellows and anyone else with an early car, be EXTREMELY

careful with the 'pull for air' knob and associated mechanisms; they are

fairly fragile and more than half the early cars I've seen had this sucker

broken.  It is also one of the only Pantera parts no longer available, so if

it's broke, it stays broke!)



Jack DeRyke created factory-style fresh air vents on his car that work quite

well; he detailed this in a how-to article in a POCA newsletter several years

back.



Okay folks, guy needs a hand, let's jump to it! :>)



Mike
