Is it normal on GT5s and other widebody Panteras that that the steering is really sensitive to bumps on the road? The steering wheel almost gets ripped from my hands when one of the front wheels hits a bump. I'm running 10" front rims (OEM GT5), 285 tyres and 24 psi.Read More...

It looks like SACC is out of covers and foam for 1973 seats. A place called Mustang Market has the 73/74 (also late 72) covers, but no foam. They said the mold for the foam broke. I think these covers were (or are) made in Baja California, Mexico. I don't know where the foam was made. Does anyone know of another source for this stuff?Read More...

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Stephan and living in Yardley, PA. Being the proud owner of a 1972 Pantera, #4164 which I acquired in December 2023. The car was accidentally found on craigslist while looking for something completely different. Located in upstate NY, the previous owner acquired the car in 2000, disassembled the car and was planning on fully restoring it before he became very ill and had to abandon the project. Being an aviation engineer he was meticulous in...Read More...

I would like to take some detail pics and try doing vids, BUT the temptation to just DRIVE overcomes. 5177 is now stored in a different building rather than the shed it stayed in 20+ years. I added a centering line and delineators to help keep me straight. open the rollup and fire it up, walk the exit to ensure it is clear back off the concrete pad and into the yard. did show, but I have to angle due to transition and spoiler draggging. down the long dusty path to the paved road. head into...Read More...

Yesterday short ride, a clicking noise appears then gets louder but is not continuous, sometimes very loud, sometimes nothing. I came home back slowly and today I found a valve with 0.5 mm (0.02'') clearance and another with 2.4 mm (3/32''). The adjustment nuts were not loose, the rockers are in perfect condition and I suspect the needle bearing of the lifters. What do you think? I bought the lifters at BULLET RACING but they are MOREL.Read More...

Recently I had the opportunity to run the car on a track at the AZPOCA INDE Track Day. We put the car together back in 2017 and it has been driven sparingly but have finally decided it's time to run it a bit. After a few laps it started to develop a noise coming out of the rear of the car. Strangely the noise only could be heard during the turns (both right and left) but nothing could be heard when running light or hard in a straight line. The volume of the noise started low and stayed low...Read More...

The interior on my 1972 Pantera is original… no question about! You sit down and a cloud of foam dust is exiting the seat cushion left and right where the seat back is attached…and the seat vinyl is not prepared to stretch anymore it will rip if you sit in with a spirited motion! The glue holding the vinyl on the tunnel covers covering the heater box decided to be sticky but refuses to hold anything.. somebody decided to put loudspeaker holes in the door panels and those previous mentioned...Read More...

I have a set of left and right fiberglass "Bat Ear" scoops that install in replacement of the rear 1/4 glass. They are used but in good condition and you could install them as is.

I have acquired a De Tomaso which was based in Massachusetts. The VIN appears on http://www.scuderiadetomaso.se/gr3_list.html as one of 25 original Group 3 cars. It's one of the cars originally delivered to Germany. The seller said that the car's paint is untouched and that the fenders were later added. Otherwise only few modifications have been made and the car is mostly original. I don't have the car yet but I am interested in your opinions.Read More...
