Well, I've held on to her as long as I could. Through 2 layoffs at two different companies and little to no time to play with her.

Any thoughts on the best way to market her?

Any opinions on price range for a highly modified 427 sideoiler car?

I'm trying to confirm the origin of the 427 block, refrenses I have found link it to Lola racing, but no true documents that I have confirm this.
Thanks for any thoughts and opinions.

If I was going to sell a car I’d give PI Motorsports a call http://www.pim.net/ and have them help you. I can’t think of any other place that could do a better job of moving it for you.

How about an ad in POCA newsletter?

Free for members.

The smart shoppers join POCA long before handing over their money. And current owners often are on the look-out for friends that want to join the De Tomaso Family.

Jeff,

Sorry to hear you are selling. Looks like a nice car.

Lots of large detailed photos posted somewhere (there are lots of free photo sites) and maybe an ad on eBay (just to generate exposure) along with the excellent suggestions made by Mike and Larry. Check out the kind of photos that PIM does when they sell a car. I think they do as good a job as anyone when it comes to taking useful and high-quality photos of their cars for sale.

Good luck with the sale and I hope we see you back in the seat again in the future.

Of course, posting more details and an asking price here would be a good idea as well.

Thanks for all the advice.
I had spoken to Dave Adler(emails) last year just before I went to Bulgaria about pricing in todays(last years )market.
Biggest thing would be finding the buyer who is looking for one of the few 427 powered Panteras out there. Possibly an overseas sale that I am not familiar with arranging. Many plusses to consigning the car to PIM.





A few of the documents from the build.

Scans of the dyno testing done at the completion of the build in '89.

I'll be putting the louvers back on the car and getting it ready for a local car show this weekend and will get a complete set of current pictures for a possible eBay sale.

Thanks
Jeff

Aside from mine, how many other sideoiler Panteras are known to exist?

Pantera Performance built a race only version I believe, but I haven't had much luck searching out how many street driven 427's might be out there?

Robert Stuhr of Maui has a targa 427 S/O

Here are the latest pictures with the louvers re-installed.
Would these work well for a for sale writeup or eBay auction or should I gt some with minimal background "clutter".
I have a possible Cobra shop that might let me get shop pictures, maybe with an aluminum cobra body in the background?
I was thinking of promoting it to the Cobra crowd, tieing in with the 427FE? Make a nice stablemate to a 427 Cobra?

Clicking photo will open a photobucket slideshow page.
