Right on George. Your view is pretty accurate, but your idea that a vendor should jump on is right on the money. A nice "package" would reduce many of the half-baked wide body conversions we see that simply don't do the car justice.

I was born in the 40s. Yes, folks, I am now 60 years old. The rear view of a Pantera still gives me wood and my wife (born at least ten years after me) is happy to share it with me. She sometimes sends me to garage first when she's in the mood.

I am an old school Detroit Iron kind of guy. And even though I had a '73 for many years before I got my 82 - and then kept both cars for almost 20 years - it was the wide body cars that exaggerated all that made the Pantera so amazing to look at in the first place.

When I had to give one up it was no contest. The headroom, the legroom, the engine bay, the interior, the suspension and the handling had a lot more to do with my decision. But that big fat behind is still an incredible sight.
