Reply to "PANTERA MARKET ?"

We got our car just a year ago, we found it for sale in a trader type publication. I will never forget getting home from work that day and Kim told me that the Round Up had got there today. Then she told me I need to look at page 64. Thats what it took to start the trip we have been on for the last year with 1717. Just a note Kim and I tend to race to see who first gets to browse throught that mag.
I feel the Pantera prices have stagnated somewhat but not gone done. This I feel is in realition to the economy. Has long as there is gas to burn these cars should rise at a slow but steady value.

I might be biased as an owner, but the great thing about the car is the way the car looks. It is timeless not trendy. It is one of the few cars that look good from any angle and that is rare. That's the reason the has been so popular and will continue to be.

I so agree. While in the Smokeys our car was so WELL received. 90% KNEW what she was. Anywhere else well you know how many people know what our cars are.
A few Harley riders would wave, but the sport bike crowd would ALWAYS wave or give us a thumbs up. This made us feel very welcome. We got out of the car on one trip through the Dragon and one guy yelled at me that he was freaking jealous...I asked him why??? and his response was " you have FOUR contact patches, and I only have TWO". We ended up talking about bikes and cars for almost a hour. He was on a I dont remember but his wife was on a Ducati Monster, such nice folks and it was a pleasure to have the time we spent together!!
