Reply to "Pantera kits/replicas"

thank you Larry for your advice. Let's see just how close I come to the exact measurements to a real Pantera. You might be surprised. I will build a few and post pics for all your members to see.I owned 2 Panteras before, a 1973 and 1983. My replica will be more like a GT5/GT4 look. I like wheel flares. As you know alot of Pantera owners do a little customization to their cars as well, so i will be doing  some myself.
Every Pantera "kit" car i;ve seen  had the wrong wheelbase and height which is a big deal. Plus thos "kits" had a transverse engine. My replica will have the same dimensions as an original Pantera and a longitudinal powertrain.
Let's see what I come up with

Scotty,

I think your exposure on this forum is a good thing, but I think your potential customers are a very small niche market in general, and it is an even smaller subset amongst this forum’s members.

The Long & Newman replica cars were  a high-quality, perfect match for the stock sheet metal and accepted all of the OEM body components. There were a few other Pantera style kit cars back in the day but AFAIK none of those adhered to the original like the L & N design.

I would think a greater potential market exists within forums that cater to kit car builders, and with the current resurgence of auto world interest in the Pantera I imagine kit car builders would be very interested in your offering.



please do keep us abreast of your developments and progress. I’m curious to see what comes from your efforts as time progresses

Larry
