Hello all. New member here. I don't currently own a Pantera, but I have been lusting after one since I first saw one in the early nineties at a car dealership in Anniston, AL. Actually, there were three. One was pretty rough with collision damage and in need of a complete restoration for about $13,000. One was in much better shape for $35,000. And finally, there was one with only 13,000 miles and last tagged in 1975. The asking price was $60,000. Both of the nicer ones were white. Perhaps someone here owns one of these cars today. At the time, I was a poor college student at Ga. Tech.
I have been into classic mustangs for about 5 years. I currently own a '65 A-code convertible and a super rare '66 K-code Fastback GT. I have been restoring the K-code over the past two years and have it about 98% complete. I have also owned a '69 Mach I and a '73 MB 450 SL.
Anyway, I keep coming back to Panteras. I have generally shied away from exotics because of the expense of upkeep. What is the old saying? I can afford a Ferrari, I can't afford to own a Ferrari. I guess the Pantera doesn't scare me as much with the Ford drivetrain. I am considering selling one or both of the mustangs and getting a driver/project Pantera.
I am sure I will have a lot of questions over the next few weeks and months. I plan to learn as much as possible before possibly taking the plunge.
Well, thanks for listening to me ramble. Good night
P.S. I will try to attach a photo of my '66 GT
