        That cargo net is very tempting, but I would need to find a way to re-attach the bottom hooks. The old plastic nuts have long been dead.

            I still have the hooks... Just need a trip to the hardware store for proper nuts, maybe some washers, some way to seal them... etc. Not sure I would ever use the net though. I have plenty of milk crates for that purpose. And I'm also wondering if the elastic is any good any more. Wouldn't want to pay majority of a C note just to have it sag or disintegrate in short order. I have a feeling that may be why it didn't come with our car when we bought it even though it had the hooks already. It is still tempting... just not sure I can rationalize it when I'm hell bent on paying off my house. If the plan holds, I might have this sucker free and clear in 3 years.

              Paying the house off is priority. Living debt free is great especially in these uncertain times.

                  Holy crap! I didn't realize those things are selling for so much now. $130 for one door control panel. Jesus.
                  I'm glad I saved the ones from my CV and my 91 GM before that.. .though they're all in different states of brittle plastic woes.

                      Yeah. I am glad you bumped this. I would have thought it would have never sold...proves me wrong.

                        Found this under hood light that reels out. It was a factory option for some of the 80s panthers. New in package is a plus.
                        I almost bought this for a make offer of $29 + shipping.
                        I found another seller who had two new ones for a good deal.

                          If that tach wasn't so expensive I'd be VERY tempted to get it.

                          Tom, I had no idea the under hood light was optional on panthers. I have a Ford one with an 82 part# from a truck on my LTD, that's good to know it may have come with one if ordered

                            This is identical to the one that was stock on my 96 silverado. Must have used them for all manufacturers.

                              Hi Phil

                              How tempted are you? You may be able to pry one from my hoard.

                                This could be a good purchase.
