Pantera Owners sound like there driving around in a modified pinto or some sh@t.
If you look at the price of recreation,cobra's, gt 40's, retro mustangs and who know's what else Pantera owners are selling themselfs short.
I think a Pantera sitting next to a dime a dozen Mustang, fake plastic cobra's & GT 40's speak for them self's.
I've noticed owner's get into financial trouble & let there Pantera's go for a song and the vulture's are circling.
Hopefully this won't continue but as far as I'm concern'd I'm driving a rare exotic that eventually will come into it's own and command a price above the mass produced Corvette's, Mustangs, plastic recreation also known as kit cars etc.
Of course this will never happen as long as the owners continue to sell below the other's mentioned above.
Frick! I have a new Corvette sitting in the garage, big fricken deal!
I think you have a good point here. I have seen what people pay for Cobra kit cars and what they seem to get for them also. I have taken the Pantera to a few of their meetings and the car is accepted very well. What seems to add to the value and their interest is that the Pantera is a rare production car with features that were ahead of its time. Maybe we are our own worse enemies when it comes to the value of the Pantera. How many other 37 year old cars are there on the road today that can get as many looks and questions as a Pantera?
