With all the people on the site I was wondering what are the other vehicles you have/drive?

'94 Porsche 968. Another limited production car. Has great seats. Found another set on E-bay and put them into the Pantera.

'07 Honda VFR800 Motorcycle, 25th anniversary edition, red, white and blue. Daily commuter.

'06 Silverado 4x4. Home Depot hauler. Dog hauler. Camping vacation vehicle.

My ol' 94 toyota lil' pick up is my part time daily ( Love that lil' truck)

My Pantera is my other part time daily...

Wife's daily is a silverado

Wifes hotrod is her high school convertible, 67' Firebird BBC,671, muncie, 4 wdb, fab 9..

I must say, I sneak her car out while she is at work..lol.. Shhh.

1986 Mustang SVO modified.

1998 Ducati 748 currently waiting for paint.

72 Pantera - heavily modified - wide body, Webers, 180 exhaust, CHI heads, 618 lift roller cam, etc.

74 Pantera - stock body

02 Viper GTS - 10,000 original KMS - modern fun car

04 PT cruiser

'71 Pantera, awaiting paint soon.

'00 Maxima 5 spd SE and a '03 Accord V6. Daily drivers. I sacrificed a couple new cars for the Pantera and I don't regret it.

'89 F250 300ci fuel-injected straight six. 270k+ miles on the original unrebuilt motor. Good yard/home/misc. task/backup truck. My father bought it in 1991 and sold it to me 8 years ago. Too bad it can't pull anything- blame that on high gearing and a crappy manual transmission.

I sold my 5.0 Mustang when I got married, and finally replaced it with the Pantera last year.

Daily driver all summer was the GT5 Pantera, then in late August gave in and purchased a 2010 F150 SVT Raptor in preparation for winter.

What an interesting thread! Look at ACCobras SOLID Ford line up, then others with various bikes, reproductions, other Euro cars.

Who has EVER had an Auburn Boattail replica AND a wide body Targa like Garvino?

Or a Norton AND a Chrysler van like KhanSmith?

Really great stuff. Pantera and Evo. Cool.

I mean this is like a marketing focus group's year long case study in behavior. Fun to read.

4744 shares the garage with a 2000 Audi TT turbo quattro coupe.
It's just as showroom stock as the Pantera,and lots of fun as a daily driver.

This is great to see! Now I don't feel so bad.

1972 Harley Davidson FL (mostly stock)
1971 Datsun 240Z, pulled out of storage this past August. Cleaned up and back on the road after 20 years in the barn. About 1300 miles on her so far in 2011.


Unregistered support machinery used around the property (they all run and operate);
1996 Komatsu PC-60 excavator
1995 Scat Trak 1300 skid steer loader, firewood handler, snow plower. Couldn't keep up without this thing, busiest machine of them all.

1948 Farmall Cub tractor (my little sister learned to drive on this girl)
1947 Dodge half-ton pickup, unrestored survivor-the truck I learned to drive in. Still got it. Kept inside and dry since last registration in '72. I hope to get my 13 year old daughter interested in helping me get her ready for the road again over the winter. This is where she'll learn how to drive a standard, then we move on to the Z and Miss P.


Luckily, I'm mechanically inclined.

Great group there. Big motors up front, in the middle, smaller turbo motor up front, you cover the gamut.

Two questions and the back on topic -

1. Familiar with 944t (had a few) but what is the 'ls' series engine? Is that the 968 3.0?
2. Aston V8. Cool pick. Is this coming when the Vette leaves? Aston to be a 6 speed or auto? Have always had an eye out for one of those.

Don't tell the purists, but a GM V8 ls series engine in a 951(944 turbo) chassis along with braking and suspension updates, makes for an incredible car. A 3L turbo engine made with the 968 block is a consideration, but costs more and has much less torque than the GM V8. The turbo tranny handles the V8 power fine as long as you use common sense. Supercar performance at a budget price. Very easy swap. Tons of cheap engines and parts. A well set up 951 is one of the best handling cars I have ever driven.
Yes, 6 speed V8 Vantage when the Vette goes. Ready to buy, but I don't have the space until I get rid of something. Personally, I think the Aston is one of the best looking modern car designs.

I have a beat box Toyota Previa as an everyday driver.

Gives a bit of comfort to see that is not just me that have a lot of vehicles. I have sold out some of them but there is still a few left.

1966 Mustang FB
1970 Lotus Europa
1973 Pantera L 4.6 mod engine with kompressor

1983 Honda CB1100R
1985 Bobcat 743
1995 Mustang GT cab
2007 VW Touareg V10
2010 Husqvarna 250TE

Great thread! I'd love a Pinzgauer or Unimog. And wish I still had my motorcycle and some of the cars I've sold over the years. Here's the current stable:

1966 Ford Mustang GT fastback (GT350 clone at the moment; returning to stock appearing restomod, even though it's worth less that way)
1972 Pantera pre-L (of Banzai Runner movie fame)
1991 Mazda B2200 pickup truck
1995 Toyota LandCruiser (FZJ-80)
1996 BMW 328i
2001 Jamis Dakar Comp - Ok, not a car, but a fun full suspension cross-country/downhill mountain bike with 4 piston caliper disc brakes

Daily:

Dodge 3500 4x4 Laramie crew cab diesel truck
Garage:

72 Pantera all steel group 4 clone
Aston Martin V8 Vantage 6 speed
69 Chevelle SS396 L78

Good to see there is a Datsun 240Z in someone his garage. High on my wishlist. Perfect daily driver, real competitive offroad ( Safar rally )and beautifull lines.

... and an Aston shows up in Throttled's garage. Neat piece. Agreed that those are among the most handsome designs ever.

Keep 'em coming folks. Interestingly, though we're a 'single marque/make' forum for the most part, many are posting who don't ordinarily post much. See the fun you're missing?!?

I have really enjoyed this thread. There are some really cool and interesting cars sharing garage space with our Panteras.

I was surprised to see a Saab Sonett on the list. I grew up around Saabs and always thought the Sonetts were cool. Interestingly, the guy I bought one of my spare transaxles from had a stripped out Sonett sitting outside his shop. Now I feel like I should call him and see if he wants to sell it. That's if my wife wouldn't kill me and I didn't have ten other half finished projects in progress.

I also really like all the Aston Martin Vantages out there. I really wouldn't mind having one of those too.

Any chance of some of you taking some pics of your Panteras with their stable mates? I am currently out of town but can take one with my mustang when I get back next week.

Unfortunately, my cars are spread out in few different storage units so they rarely see each other. However, that will soon change as I am finishing up a quick remodel and clean up of my new storage unit, where all my cars will fit together.

Good idea. I'll try on that. Those of you with Astons are REQUIRED to do this!

Mine are in my link below. In no way tarshing another car because I love the look of the Vantage, but I spent about 8 months driving and looking at all variations of those, and the power shure doesn't match the cars appearance. So I went and bought a MBZ V12 Biturbo AMG with RENNtech, 1/2 the price and double the horse power and torque at 785. See photos in the link, in the photo folder "New Ride: MBZ V12 Biturbo AMG". As you can see the exterior in my opinion doesn't match the Vantage style, but I am learning to like it with the bigger wheels, lowering kit, and especially when it outruns most everything on the street. I am only mentioning it because those considering Vantage, you may want to see and drive one of these MBZ with RENNtech first and see what you think. But for those who really like Vantage, I could add more photos to my Vantage photo folder for all the ones I have looked at, with various colors, different wheels, etc...I still love looking at them.
