Reply to "Pantera #2507 - Sam Foose Pantera (Carabo clone) for sale"

I don't know the relationship between Sam and Chip? Father and son?

I appreciate a nice "hot rod" as much as the next guy especially with all those micro bikini clad models swarming the cars like bees swarming honey and depending on exactly when the car was built, I can be more forgiving and accept the title as a "generic one" on a car built from a bolt back in '72, but not much.

The above article says this car was built around 1972. OK, fine, but I think it shouldn't be called a Pantera, simply because it is not.

For that matter, I don't think Chip's '67 GT500E should be called a Shelby for the same reason. It's not.

Call it something else. Calling them a Pantera and a Shelby is just the ultimate in bad taste by the builders in my opinion.

Look. I know the 15 year olds love Elanor. That definitely is who it is aimed at. After all they are the ones that buy the majority of the $20 movie tickets. So the producer definitely knows his market and how to relate to it.

But ya' doesn't need to call it a Pantera (or a Shelby).
