Reply to "Pantera #9103 - GT5? Advice sought"

It appears to be a GT5 from the pictures,

Not to rain on the parade or anything, but if you are Pantera shopping and have been swayed by the rear panel GT 5 lettering, despite the flares being most certainly GRP 4, into believing the car is a GT5, you have more homework to do before you buy ANY car.

These cars are hot rodded by geniuses and by fools. You can NOT believe anything being factory about these cars despite what you see and what you are told. You must judge each car by its own merits and the documentation that is available.

I have said before, and say again - If you want to buy a Pantera wisely and minimize your regret factor, read everything you can find about Panteras. Go to the two websites listed below in my signature and read them front to back. Everything. Read the archives here and at the POCA forum. Seriously, the entire archives. Inspect every car you can find, whether for sale or not. Talk to owners, drive cars whenever possible. Go to Vegas Fun Rally and/or Monterey Concorso.

These are a very hard car to buy wisely. They will lure you with the FEVER and sucker you into buying NOW, rather than wisely.

If you do all this, you will know your car when you find it. It WILL talk to you - many of us have found this to be true.

Remember, each day brings you closer to finding YOUR Pantera.

Good luck,

Larry
