I haven't stuck my head in here for a while - Garth, I am lucky enough to have one of the Hot Wheels Fast 5 Pantera's. I managed to get #19 of the 25. I'd love to get my hands on #5 if it ever comes available.
I'll have to have another look at the holes / plates etc. I know the motor has been stamped, I can only assume its the original one looking at the condition of it as it is just now.
From my recollection of previous discussions Rocky you're bang on re: engine # stamping. My # is 0276.
Perry, if your block is stamped its highly likley its still the original motor...
That said, I dont have the factory paperwork so in the current Pantera environment I dont know if my Pantera really is a Pantera at all.... It could just be a re-badged Kia.
