I think they should inspect the contract more thoroughly.. There's no way there's a clause about passengers anywhere in it.

Better yet, they should've brought a fricking lawyer. I don't think a contract would cover an illegal street racing event.

Article 90 of the Japanese Civil Code

公の秩序又は善良の風俗に反する事項を目的とする法律行為は、無効とする。

which roughly translates to

"A juristic act whose purpose is against public policy or good morals is void."

(a juristic act is a general term for contracts and the like.)

Based on the wording of chapters 98-99, while the apprentice may have been in debt, he wasn't trying to defraud creditors by hiding assets or anything, so in the U.S. it's unlikely the Pantera could be claimed by creditors.

A quick search shows Japan has a similar law under the Act on the Avoidance of Fraudulent Conveyances so im going based of U.S. law and assuming it's similar enough.

Considering it was a heart attack, not an expected death, it would be hard to prove he knew he was going to be insolvent (in this case, dead).

A good lawyer might be a bit expensive, but this is a USD$100,000 car, so I'd get a lawyer right away, especially considering the guy came to his door and threatened him.

I wish I could see a real-life rendition of this "black on bare metal" Pantera GT4.

with enough dedication and a pontiac fiero (and money), you can have any car you want, be it a countach or a pantera.

If you use your imagination a bit, Here's a prototype Group 3 Pantera (not 4) in silver and black, imagine its bare metal.

Group 4 had wider wheel arches, some ditched popups if they needed headlights at all and none of them had bumpers.

Aside from that, paint weighs like 10lbs max even including primer and clear coat, closer to 5 for a sedan-sized car.

Undercoating and sound deadening weighs 50-80lbs tho.

Quick search shows typical paint they use for "serious" weight-saving racing only weighs ~2 pounds.
