Pantera...I just went out to the old shed. I have a 3949790 RH bezel that has been hanging on the wall for 25 years. It is in pretty good shape. Not broken anywhere. I'd like to donate it to the cause. Send me an address.

Thanks guys.

I hope some of the pic's were of use to you. Thanks for the encourgment. Comming from some of you guys on here sure makes me feel a bunch better. That was a lot of money to pay for a car that only cost $3,087 new...!...?????

Dam why didn't I buy one of those back then? Oh yea I remember why? I paid $1,150 for a '61 315hp FI, Black/red Close ratio, 4:56 posi, HD brake, HD supension, 30 gal tank, hardtop only, Dave Morgan backup Corvette. It was missing the injector but I found one for $125. It was quite a screamer back then.

Then got stupid and traded it for a '66 360 hp 396 Chevelle 4 speed. Wish I had that one back... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Here it is back then.

You know when I first saw the pic of it I didn't like the color at all. Then the more I go out and look at it and open the doors and look at the "new" color that is in there still. It looks almost as good as the day it was painted.

To make a long story short this car is really growing on me. I was planing on just turning it to someone and make a few bucks but now that I am around it the ghost of the deal owner must be influencing me to make it proud once again.

Do you think a set of headers would hurt her? I think it would be neat to have a go at Rob and his Camaro with some street tires on this car.

It already has a Hurst and traction bars and air shocks. What is a little set of headers and a BIG Holley going to hurt? I may even still have a lakewood housing around somewhere.

Is that what you call Day 2?

BTW:Did I say that I like the color too?

For what its worth, those new goodmark qtrs are about as correct as you're going to find. They even have the correct telephone reciever stamp in the door jamb area. If you need to have NOS, nevermind. Schonye
