This same thing happened when the Ring Brother's built their Pantera. Some loved it, some hated it and some were actually angry. Love it or hate it, our Panteras all became more valuable because of the exposure that car received. Last I heard it was on loan to the Peterson Museum. The same will happen with the Kindigit Pantera. Many people who have paid little attention to Panteras in the past will now pay attention. A show like this raises the profile of Panteras in general. We, as owners, all benefit accordingly.
Oh, and if you think Kindig got paid $100K to build this car, you're way, way off. Add a zero and you'll be closer.
