Here is another example. PI ran an article on Roland Jaeckel's GT5-S Targa. The impression reasonably drawn from the article was that Roland had found one of the very rare GT5-S Pavisi targa's.
What he has is a Euro '73 GTS, not a GT5-S, that was sent to Pavisi for the Targa work prior to Rolands ownership, then CONVERTED (see POCA site) by Roland to GT5-S fenders etc. It is an awsome car just the same. So, either Roland misrepresented the car to POCA or misrepresented the car to PI, or PI didn't know or chose not to mention these facts, you decide.
How about a guy who "clones" a Shelby GT 350 Mustang? Isn't there a Shelby register out there, you bet there is. Shouldn't that guy say "Shelby GT 350 clone for sale?" Of course he should no matter how nice the car is.
But I would like to hear your logic and rational as to why my common sense view is out of order and what excludes and makes Panteras different from other marques.
Percy Hill,
Or are you the one and only unregistered �Pantera Fan�?
Since you share the same IP address, perhaps you're CLONES!
First: Take note that Dave Clark�s ad reads GT-5 ***CONVERSION***!!!

Also, take note of the not-so subtle CONVERSION of Pantera Fan into Percy.
Second: Take note of Pantera International President, Dave Adler�s qualified remarks:

"A real GT5 is a rare bird indeed and a good one would sell for more than the item offered. Also, real GT5 cars have to have DOT + EPA releases. It doesn't concern me that a person calls their car a GT5 or GTS when it is obvious it is a "clone" unless the seller represented that it was authentic. I would note that Euro cars are harder to find that US spec cars and often sell at a premium thanks to their enhanced or different engines, brakes and ZFs than US spec cars. The proof of the pudding is always QUALITY. A QUALITY Pantera of any year will bring more money than a "rarer" GT5 that is in tatty condition. My 2 centavos. I have heard that the subject car is a winner! DAve!"

Third: See Agrovador�s reply to the troll.

"I think Pantera Fan needs to go back to his corvette community and stay there, you obviously have no concept of the Pantera. You keep talking about Pebble Beach, "we drive our cars", get it through your head
Pebble Beach, Bloomington Gold theyre different venues and are respectable in they're own right. So dont go knockin peoples cars, I've seen Daves car I've driven to car shows with him so I know he has a great car I'm not a "fan" I'm an owner and team player.SO #$%&##!!! Pebble Beach!!!"
Percy, you really need to just get over the fact that Lou's formerly owned modified GT5S beauty outshone your GT5S in a Florida car show. Get over it, your car is beautiful but no way will it ever compare to the Agrovador.
And now you're talking about Roland Jaeckal's GT5S!!! GEEEZZZ!
BEST WISHES THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!
