Reply to "1982 DeTomaso Pantera GT5 in North of the Border"

Hi guys, thanks for the replys. I contacted the guy that owned the 84 gt5 in new york, he told me he sold the car for his asking price $49,500 with extra parts last in april and funny enough the car went to Toronto, I thought this was a reasonable price (I was told by local guys here to look for USA cars and its absoloutely no problem to import 15+ year old cars to cnd, they have done it many times). I thought I would look for cnd cars anyway and found 3 cnd gt5's. I e-mailed a simular offer on the yellow and red cnd cars which I feel is very fair offers for "STOCK" type cars with no real upgrades. I guess I could give the same offer on the silver one although the engine/paint bug me.

This year I was going to buy a FFR Cobra but then was reminded about the P cars again and thought with the computer I would look into it (wow, lots of cars/parts). At first I was looking at spending $30/40,000 cnd on my cobra (which will be a 500/600hp 2000+lb terror). I am very much into power and making a car all it can/should be. I started looking at P cars in the $30/$40 but then found the P.I site with the cars that I would build allready built. Problem is now I am looking at double the coin (so much for my budget). now I am a bit lost, do I pay more money for some of these (OLD) "stock" cars than I feel they are worth (like I do with my Buells) or just go back to my (NEW) "good bang for my buck" $30/40,000cnd 600hp FFR killer Cobra?. I am really a "good value/bang for the buck" kind of guy, I don't like feeling riped off for a bunch of old tin. I have always liked these cars from when I was a teen and more so because of the power plant than anything else. I have built/restored many cars over the years and know that most money gets lost in the drive train, some of my junk http://www.cardomain.com/id/kazzoom

I guess I could knuckle down and look to buy the upgraded $70/80,000 P.I cars which will give me more value for my hard earned money but the drag about that is there would be nothing I could do to/on them except be a caretaker. I don't know I guess am just sitting on the fence now waiting for the wind to blowSmiler... who farted???
