I am not one to usually leave reviews, but the Pantera community continues to amaze me both with the quality/help from owners, and the vendors. My 74’ GTS that my father bought new as a Ford engineer with A plan discount in the Lincoln Mercury dealer had always fought a bit of an overheating problem. I remember being in the Woodward dream cruise as a little kid in Detroit and my father being very anxious as it was a very slow go.
Around two years ago, my father passed the car over to me, and the same overheating issues begin to make me anxious. My father had leaned on Steve Wilkenson and Dennis a lot for parts and support over the years, but Steve recommended Jon on the overheating challenges.
Talking to Jon was like talking to an old friend. Our first discussion was probably 30 minutes and I learned a tonn. Everything he recommended that I do initially he was pointing to specific websites I could go to for purchase. I asked him if he sold them, and he said yes, but it would cost me more money. I bought the parts from him as a small token of thanks. I then bought the coolant gauge adapter and radiator fan adapter. I can now drive my car across town without fear of overheating, and I am very grateful. Following the lead of a local Pantera owner I also purchased his fuse board after my dad, shared how the car had left him stranded, and it was the bullet size fuses that had let him down.
I believe in karma and helping good people and this message is nothing more than that, helping someone who truly enjoys helping others and happens to make stellar products.
