Reply to "Pantera hunting"

Larry,

Thanks for that.
We are used to rust buckets in Belgium. Not only do we get tons of rain our government also has a contract with a maker of road salt. So every winter (regardless of temperature) they dump tons of the stuff on our roads.
I am looking for a non-issue car. Having said that I am not afraid of some minor work as I restored the 911 myself; but I am currently building an MX5 track car and have my hands full with that. I love the early Pantera's with the short bumpers (I guess that is the pre-impact bumper time). It is important to me that the car is close to original but any improvement visual or technical is welcomed if it is done professionally. So a pre-L car that has the short bumpers but with the engine and gearboxed polished or painted goes for me. I am a sucker for the original campo's and a white car gets me drooling but really, black, yellow, white, I do not care. Red is tricky for me. I am a fan of Meguiars and man does red suffer from sun and rain...
Good histroy is also important to me. Again no issues if there are gaps but a strong history is necessary. I keep my cars (except my daily drivers; and even there I am picky on whom to sell it to). The MX5 has been with me for 16 years, the 911 for 7. So yes the Pantera goes to Euro; but what a carring home it will get ;o)
Shipping and customs has been pre-arranged.
I will come by boat to Antwerp, and I have three or four east coast destinations, trouble is my knowledge of American geography lets me down slightly so I never investigated west coast pick up and how that would work.

Hope this helps.

Michel
