    Does he see something we don't? If he could get $150 he should sell, $190 per ton for a whole car where I live.

    Yeah, but it's a Pantera...........................wake up Severson, maybe he'll tackle it!

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    It should be Dumpster bound - when a fire does that to a car the physical characteristics of the steel have changed too much to make it a usable/repairable car, Pantara or not.

    The fire annealed the steel and this is the simple definition: "a heat treatment that alters the microstructure of a material causing changes in properties such as strength and hardness"

    This was an uncontrolled anneal so in other words, it's junk!!!!!

    The sad part - someone will probably buy this car and try to restore it
