Although I've only had mine since Oct03', I'd say very reliable. Like anything if you run it at least 1x a week its just fine. All simple 70's technology with no guesswork. If it just stops running, 99.9% chance you will know what it is. And I repeat, IF, it stops running.
As the others said, if you have the cooling under control your golden. (stuff like the fuel system upgrade, ignition, or even suspension are really your call)
In summary, I pretty much know when I reach for the Pantera key.....its gonna start, and not have a random fit and die on the road. I dont know I can say that for most cars today.
Like they say "TAKE TWO"
