Mark & K,

Here's a bit more info FYI.

I saw the 427 twin-turbo SOHC Pantera at its public debut at the 1982 Newporter Concours.

The rear chassis was widened to accommodate the SOHC motor, and the suspension was completely re-engineered.

It used a lot of exotic materials in the build e.g. Inconel exhausts, titanium alloys, etc. and reportedly cost somewhere between $1.4M to $1.8M.

Wheels/tires were typical (for a Gp C race car). And even though the body looked pretty standard for a Gp 4 Pantera, there was little else that wasn't completely re-engineered.

I've heard many stories about the owner(s) and the car over the years. But that was back in the 80's - 90's.

I'll chk to see if I can find any pics I took from the Newporter.

The 429 Boss Pantera is DOES 200's photo so I'll let him comment more, but it looks to me like the 429 Pantera built by Precision Proformance.
