Mid $40Ks isn't bad for the right Pantera. Can't really comment unless you can direct us to which Panteras you're talking about.
$40K - $50K is where most Panteras are selling today. A Pantera without rust issues, with good drive train, paint & interior, (in other words, one that isn't a fixer-upper) purchased for under $40K is a bargain in today's market.
I expect the prices of Panteras to continue to escalate.
Welcome to the DTIC, glad to have you with us.
