Thanks, Husker. That all seems apparent about the Pantera community. You are also right about the Pantera's looks and uniqueness.
My plans in owning and maintaining each of those three example cars would be quite different. I would go down the NCRS path with the Vette, embracing the attendant challenges and headaches. I would keep the Pony car close to stock, perhaps making some modest performance enhancements. In the Pantera it seems that one can go toward either extreme (within reason) without effecting the marketability of the car.
