Thanks for the responses everyone. Looking forward to the truck arriving in Dallas tomorrow and getting some time behind the wheel.

That's great that yours was built on the same day. How's the saying go. You never want a car built on a Monday especially after a holiday weekend Smiler Hopefully ours were built mid week.

Mine is red with tan interior. I'll get some fresh pictures up tomorrow once it arrives.

I remember the day a truck pulled up with my car in it too. Supremely hot day, my son and I had been in the driveway for some time, waiting. Heard the diesel truck a block a way, far too low geared for anything non commercial.

IT pulled up, dropped the door, and I've been enjoying the car since. Congratulations. The fun begins now.

And that CLOSED truck photo was the biggest tease I've seen on here in years! We must have pics.

Wow, that is a beautiful Pantera. I like the red color and the camel color interior. Looks great!

You mentioned that Reliable Carriers did a good job for you for a fair price. In about a month or so I will be in need of a transport service transporting my Pantera from New Jersey to California, and I am thinking of using Reliable Carriers based on your recommendation. Can I ask you how much they charged you?

Actually when sitting in the car the is no glare that I can remember. The interior is one of the reasons I chose the car. I love the wooden steering wheel as well.

congrats on the new baby ! enjoy it Smiler
just wondering... can you change the ( BIG ) US style bumpers nowadays ? or still obligated ? just curious as i changed them recently to euro on my US imported-exported GT5S .. Big Grin
and i admit a buildyear cheating... instead of the also big 2 part euro rear bumpers i shortend a couple of 70's Panteras one to fit my '85... and had the mufflers again rotated 180 ° to sky pointing as original....
as bought...

now changed ...

That looks great!!
belgiumbarrybelgiumbarryMember
thanks... but do you guys in the US still need those bumpers or was that a '70-'80's law ?
I remember as on Corvettes from '72 they needed those big plastic bumpers ( 5 mph crash ? ) which make still today the chromies ( before '72 ) so much more in value ! Smiler

great advantage ofcourse on Panteras is that you can change them without big hassle... just the parts and a couple of hours wrenching Cool
