----Panteras were brought to the US by boat. My cousin, Dave, bought a brand new yellow 71 and the undercarrige was covered with rust when I 1st saw it. One year later after being stored in my fathers garage it had rusted completly thru along the upper windshield edge. I could actually stick my finger into the interior. He had me sell it to a friend of mine who owned a restoration/body shop. He apparently fixed it and sold it. I never heard about the car again.....Bill S

Yes, they rust from the inside out. Be very careful getting involved with these cars. The restoration costs I've been aware of normally quadruple. Parts alone are hard to find and $$$$.
Of course, Super Dave would just fab up a whole new frame and not have that issue to deal with.
