Reply to "Pantera #6868 - Silver GT5 Replica"

Chad, the single most expensive part of any Pantera is the ZF 5-speed transaxle. There is a single source of new parts (in So-Cal), the boxes are complicated & expensive to work on and nose-bleed-high to fully recondition ($11-$14,000!) So if the car drives well & shifts gears without grinding, the synchros are usually OK; all the other stuff is more-or-less standard so a bit less important. But you ARE looking at a 45+ year old Italian made, all-steel GT car! The good part: nearly all parts for the entire car are still available with some searching and there are competent specialty shops on both ends of the continent for Panteras. IMHO, you really ought to join a local marque club and subscribe to both Forums, to glean as much info as possible before writing a big check, though. POCA has chapters not terribly far from eastern Canada, and local members nearby for specific questions. Like all WWW info, take free advice with a grain (or a bucket!) of salt.
Good luck- J DeRyke, Tech Editor
