Now as far as value, people who know zero about Panteras seem to assume it is a multi hundred thousand dollar car. They get a look of amazement and disbelief when I tell them what they are going for. They do continue to look modern. They resemble other cars that always where much more expensive and Panteras are almost as rare as those other cars are. So anymore, I would almost perfer to sell my car to someone who knows nothing about Panteras, than to someone who does. Because they may have bought their years ago and think that it should sell for about what they paid for it years ago.
Anyway, what I am making the fuss over, is someday, either ourselves, or surviveing family members will be in the situation where they are trying to sell our Panteras. I think we should treat people selling their cars, the way we would want to be treated if we were in the same position. Now I am by no means a saint. When Ron said he had a 427 SOHC engine I was all over him like stink on manure. He musta thought I was a little unbalanced. And buying and selling stuff is a real emotionaly charged issue, especialy and ego car like what we won. Hell I admitt it. My entire sense of self worth is wrapped up in this car. I am a leo after all. Without the car I will be just another dickhead. So it is tuff even thinking about giving up my identity. And man when you see one you want, you want it real bad. So it is a volitile situation. But so is buying and selling houses. But I don't deal with that well either.
So I have decided. When I am ready, I am going to aske Dave to sell it for me.
