its minus an engine but there is a gearbox in it that i as yet cant identify .
Is there any way i can find out what it was and what was used as the original chassis ?
Thanks Phil.

How very dare you! lol, the Pantera was a beautiful looking car.

It's an Eagle SS to give it it's proper name.

The car in the Clockwork Orange was an Adams Probe 16, an Imp based car which held the title of the world's lowest car for a while.

Seeing as James Dean died in 1955 and the Eagle was first made in the 60s I doubt it.. You're thinking of a Lotus!
