Reply to "Engine Rebuild Required!"

Pantera Doug – Thanks for your response.

I am located in NY and won’t be wrenching the car myself. The car is currently at the shop and my mechanic will take out the engine and ship to rebuild as necessary.

I understand that when it comes to Panteras originality isn’t as prized or quantifiable the way it is for other makes and models, I just wanted to do a temperature check to make sure this hasn’t changed all that much over the past two years. I’m getting the sense that the car has been modified to the point where it rebuilding the engine won’t really affect its value one way or the other…that is to say, whether we go with a basic rebuild or high performance, the car’s value will be basically the same give or take a few thousand dollars.

George P – Thanks for your advice as well. Will look into all these items.
