The biggest problem with my (I bought it about 4 months ago and drove it 1 -one- mile) Pantera is that it was in a museum starting 2016 and then got sold 2021 and was sitting in a garage. There was work done to the car pre 2016 seems like including a repaint (car was taken apart) and I guess the poly bushings, half shafts and other little things but when they put it back together they assembled it dry… no grease anywhere!
door hinges, window mechanism, head light mechanism, locks, and then also (age related) speedo cable, pedal box, wiper assembly and so on!
Now I am sure that a lot has to do with being 50 years old and it just dried up and maintenance was “deferred “ LOL
I found proof that between 2016 and the time I bought it in 2022 the car got driven for 80 (eighty) miles !!
Someone took -keeping it -ORIGINAL- way to serious!🧐 I am sure that the gas I drained out of the fuel tank was 10 years old… -Maple syrup- and Coca-Cola brake fluid together with all leaking seals, and rusted brake discs… (omg to the rear wheel bearings)
I have my work cut out with it, but I’m making my own and no, it will be not original! Period correct YES but not another “original “ Yellow L Pantera! There are enough of them out there..
Another fun fact… when I get in the car the seat is expelling yellow foam powder…
things to do….
