Hi guys, The ignition lock cylinder in #1492 has developed some free play over time. Key turns and releases fine, starts the car every time but, is sort of loose inside ignition. I assume something inside lock cylinder is worn. What is the fix? Also, will an ignition cylinder from ’72 Euro Capri fit? Thanks ShahRead 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...

Chuck Engles was very kind and sent me a copy of the Winter 1976 PI INTERNATIONAL magazine as it contains an add posted by Hugh Kleinpeter for a very rare factory DeTomaso Weber intake manifold that has been sitting on my motor for the past 48 years. The point of this post is that the magazine includes a very interesting article by Hugh Kleinpeter of Team Pantera called Profiles of a Racing Pantera. Kleinpeter was a 6 times SCCA Divisional Champion. The article tells a very thorough story of...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...

Hi I have a question about the hood/front bonnet vents seen on many Pantera's. I am not getting into any debate about functionality, but I was just wondering what cars actually came with these vents. I have seen many early Pantera's with the vents and of course the later models. The way they are made is for cutting a hole and “sandwich” mounting so I imagine many just added them along the way. But what was stock? I had a lightweight hood made and am adding vents to have a second piece and...Read More...

I'm working under the dash and I lost the connection detail to the harness for the ignition switch buzzer wire. What there is of the wiring diagram shows it winding up in the grey wire that goes to the driver's side door switch but it leaves out the detail of where in the harness it is supposed to connect to. There is no point in explaining why or how this happened, I just need to know where it connects to since in my case is not obvious. In my own defense, there is some confusion going on...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...

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...
