There's another Pantera for sale in the Houston area. I went and had a look at it today. I didn't have my digital camera along, so pictures won't be ready for a day or so. I'll let y'all know when I get them developed and scanned.

Details as follows:

1971 Pantera THPNLJ02135

Driver's door has rust in lower front and lower rear, dent on upper part near window.

No emblems on back except for Power by Ford on decklid
No engine cover
Right rear wheel house rusted through on lower section on outside. Has not gone through on inside and inside seems solid
Left wheelhouse seems OK
There were no holes drilled, so lots of dirt has built up inside the sections

I drove it around for a little bit and it drives fine, steering solid, brakes are working well, clutch needs a little adjustment
