Last summer the temperature would climb to 195*-200* in slow traffic

That is not a terrible temp, especially for a Pantera.

210 does enter sorta scary, but if it holds there and doesn't keep rising, again, not a terribly scary temp for a Pantera.

Scary temp is tank boiling, overflow tank puking when car is shut down, or constant climb with no end in sight.

If you want to follow the flow concept, remove the t-stat completely. Your P.O. may have found that to be the case, hence his restrictor plates.

Air burping is usually more than just a one time operation, too. If the radiator has bleed petcocks at the top, also bleed that direction, by lifting front end.
