A few noteworthy events members should be aware of.The GT5-S in Mo sold for 150k a few weeks ago. Fair price I'd say for a car that cost 61k new. An Amerisport color change car. News flash, a 1973 GTS breaks the bank. It happened in Paris check it out, the 2015 Arterial Auction. Google it for pics/info.58,000 km car # 4864. Sitting down? 152k plus 10% fees. This a real sale for 168 grand US. Nice nice car although no show car. Ahhh, imagine Paris on a cool evening, sipping pink champagne, your GTS sitting in front of the sidewalk 'cafe. But wait the surprises get better. Finding out about this down here in SoFlo, where a half dozen Pantera are for sale & in stock, time to put the thinking cap on & hit that niche market. G.Brody is the master in advertising...blitz the European publications immediately after Paris. Offer a more refined original unmolested car for...say 200k? Lets do it. The timing couldn't be better, & the stars are aligned. Good old South Florida hits the European market with a media flash. Heres a BETTER GTS for 200k. 1974 GTS with original paint/tires/books/tools/records with only 3000 original documented miles. It just don't get any better than that for an investment car. Using that market savvy, BOOM! Knocked it out of the park, #7147 SOLD. Deal struck at 180k after inspection[s]. Paid. Gone. Japan wins! Car left in a container. In closing, these figures speak for themselves. These are no longer just a fluke sale here and there. It's getting more and more common. Pantera is a world market & South Florida sells Panteras. This is the one that broke the bank, but we have more low mile original cars. We'll set more records before 2015 ends.These high dollar examples do all the money and more, but we owners need to stick together as a group and keep the prices in the sky. It works. Remember, it only takes one guy to pull the trigger & every sale represents $$$ in every Pantera owners pocket. Keep the group effort, I'll keep moving' the cars.
