First, one of the absolutely most beautiful cars I've ever seen is the silver prototype on the bottom of page 19, saw it in 3-D when we visited the factory in 2009. But PIM writes "Hopefully, the next Pantera to be built by DeTomaso Automobili will offer more appealing styling and performance." Hhhmmmm
Secondly, the featured Gr IV build. While I admire the craftmanship, I'm a bit puzzled as to why. I can understand the need to improve some things, especially with regards to reliability and speed (you can never get enough speed). But why convert narrow bodies into wide bodies, and I even read about someone doing the opposite, why not just buy the car you want and leave the grinder alone? Just MHO of course. Another small example is the instruments. What really defines the Pantera interior for me, is the beautiful chrome rimmed gauges, and especially the vertical layout of the 4 gauges, angled toward the driver. Pretty unique I think.
Any other views?
