Reply to "Panteras in the neighborhood ?"

Believe it or not, within a carefully placed circle of about 25 miles radius, here in the rust belt state of New Hampshire (including a bit of nearby Massachusetts and Maine), there are about 14 Panteras that I have actually seen, and a few more rumored to exist that I haven't seen.

Of these, at last count, I think maybe six are roadworthy.

Excepting times a couple of us have set out together, only once did I catch another Pantera out on it's own. I was taking the scenic route home down Ocean Boulevard after a car show in Rye, NH. I flicked on my directional, checked my mirror to execute the turn towards home and right behind me was another P-car.

He tootled and continued on straight, and I thought, darn, now I'll never figure who it was.

Couple weeks later I brought the Pantera to the NHMS for a HPDE day. While I was waiting to get registered a fellow walked up and asked if I may have been down on the beach earlier. And so I met Hugh, owner of a red '72.

Haven't seen him or the car since.
