There are a couple useful books I have in my library;
"Illustrated Pantera Buyers Guide" ISBN 0879385243
"Pantera Ultimate Portfolio" - Brooklands Books ISBN 1855205807
"Pantera Gold Portfolio 1970-1989" ISBN 18706427X
These books contain primarily reprints or information from press and test drives (and biases) of the era.
To compliment that there are some really valuable web resources;
Mike Daley's "Pantera Place" www.panteraplace.com/
Garth Rodericks "Banzai Runner" site with a superb collection of data on buying a Pantera
www.BanzaiRunnerPantera.com
Chuck Melton's regisrty (although you need to contribute to get access, but contact him he's usually pretty good about getting prospective owners access) www.provamo.com
The next thing to do is to search out a friendly Pantera owner local to you, I know there are quite a few Pantera's in the Netherlands.
