Just bought this “Ferrero” steering wheel and hub from a guy in Italy is it a fake/replica?. 12 1/2 inches in diameter, aluminum spokes and hub, pcd is 63mm, plastic wrapped,no stitching. with a pcd of 63mm I find no hubs that work, all are 70 or 75mm at this time I have the stock capri wheel on a 71 pb therefore I plan to use the lower section of the stock column as I know it fits the splines and make a round plate to be welded to the top of the column. this plate will be drilled and tapped...Read More...

I will be racing 1606 in SVRA Group 10 this weekend at Virginia International Raceway this weekend. Last month's rent at Watkins Glen was a great time and the amount of people who came by to hang out, take pictures, tell stories etc....was really incredible. The races on Saturday and Sunday will ,again, be televised on You Tube as well as MavTV.Read More...

Today I found this GTS Pantera at Park Place Motors in Bellevue, WA. (It's not mine.) I think it's for sale. It's not on their website ( Park Place LTD | Luxury & Exotic Car Dealer in Bellevue, WA ) and does not have a sold sign on it. It's in great/excellent condition as far as I could tell.

As a public service, I’m posting in these pictures how you calculate and drill bolt circles. The calculations are from a 1949 Sperry Gyroscope Company drawing, but the same material and table data is in your Machinery’s Handbook… This data may have been used to design the secret Norden Bombsight. PROCEDURE: 1) Calculate the offsets. 2) Mount & Center the part with your dial indicator. 3) The top hole is at half the diameter of the bolt circle, at .000 along the bed. 4) Machine away!Read More...

This is on my Pantera project that I received in February. The engine is rebuilt, mostly assembled, the heads are installed, and it has not been fired. The intake valve in cylinder #1 is not seating. Perhaps there is some debris that is keeping it from sealing. The engine is out of the car. I am thinking of pulling the spring and spinning the valve with a drill in an effort to clear any debris that might be in the seat. All of the other intake valves are sealing. Any ideas and insight that...Read More...

Oil pressure problem on a 351 Cleveland engine. Oil pressure was running 25 lbs at idle to 70 lbs running. Now it's running 10 lbs at idle to 50 pounds running. Oil level is okay. I replaced the oil pressure sending unit and now the reading is 120 lbs (pegged)???. I replaced the sending unit with a manual gauge on the engine block and verified 10 lbs at idle, 50 lbs at running. I suspect the oil pump failure but, before replacing the pump I'm asking if there is anything else I should check.Read More...

So I attended the Chesapeake Pantera Fall Picnic this past Saturday, hosted by Ron McCall at his shop in Hampstead, MD. What an incredibly fun time and a great turnout by fellow Pantera owners. But my visit produced a comment/observation that has me perplexed. I own a '72 European Pantera, chassis number 2778, verified by Marti Report that it is European and not sold in the U.S. as part of the Ford/Mercury program. Also, verified by the original owner who brought it over from Italy. (Just a...Read More...

Once again the electric in my car did strike!!! on my drive to The alignment shop I noticed on my “ Back to the future” Voltmeter that I built, that Linear with RPM the voltage was climbing ! 17.6 V at 3200 rpm!!! (I did check with multimeter my reading!) There was no other indication that i had an issue with my regulator, and it could create quite some havoc I imagine! Be aware… A voltmeter is a good thing!Read More...

Got a bunch of stuff for sale - cleaning out the garage... Buyer pays shipping. I try and use USPS Flat Rate when possible, this should give you an idea of SOME of the shipping costs. Not too excited about trying to ship overseas. Take a look at the list.

The link to the pictures no longer works (this is an old post), so let me...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 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...

Hello everyone I have started to do some sheet metal Restauration on my Pantera and I also took the engine and gearbox out. I have the Comp cams Xtreme Energy™ 218/224 Hydraulic Flat Tappet Cam for Ford 351C in my engine and I don't know if I need to put any preload onto my hydraulic lifters, because the instruction on the cam says valve adjustment .000 does that mean the valve train needs to be on all the valves at zero preload? I am trying to find the right answer but it is not easy maybe...Read More...

So, if i cant find a way to eliminate my big crank end play, i could end up putting in a new crank. Already took one Service able crank out of another engine. So now my question is: Will i be able to put it in from the bottom, without removing the top of engine at all. Cam is still in, lifters, intake, carburator also. (Engine is not in car, so dont worry:))) Br, HenrikRead More...
