Subject: 1971 Pantera for $2,800?

YO People,

No, that's no typo Nancy!

Browsing through  my Jan 98 issue of Mustang & Fords and saw a picture of 

a '71 Pantera found by Guy Ramsey (anyone know him?) in the local Trader 

Magazine...Here's the rest of the story and you know there's still 

something missing...



The price was $6000. Why was it so cheap? The storyline involves a body 

shop, a stolen ZF, storage fees of $20 a day exceeding the car's value, 

the owner giving up the car, the new owner buying it for restoration, and 

so forth. Guy wanted the car, but after two weeks of trying to come up 

with the six grand , he offered the owner a '72 Mustang Sprint with 

50,000 miles and in perfect condition. The Pantera owner said no until he 

saw the car. The made an even swap. Guy figures that in a Pantera, he has 

an exotic sports car that, for his investment, is a rare find indeed...We 

agree (Mustang & Fords).
