When I first got the car the windshield rubber and chrome trim were wrong for the pushbutton Pantera. The previous owner who painted the car used a later model windshield rubber piece and window chrome. They came with two large brass window chrome pieces that joined in the middle with two stainless pieces. I sourced a very early windshield rubber piece from Mrfiat.com it fit but did not seem as wide as it should be so there is a small gap between the dash and the windshield. I had the windshield chrome pieces sent out to be rechromed and Hall pantera fabricated the two stainless joining pieces. Now the window looks correct.

Thanks for the replies. Yellow is my favorite color for a sports car. I painted a very clean 2008 Corvette yellow. I have yet to drive the car. Driving to the body shop does not really count. I hope to actually enjoy the car one day. The design of both cars are truly beautiful and still looks modern today. Oh by the way Italford, the stainless mufflers on the car are sourced from you. I still need to take those to a muffler shop to align the muffler perfectly. The car does sound loud and healthy but I like it.
Yes the previous owner actually had a pushbutton registry for only pushbutton owners from around the world. Also pictures of each car and the differences between pushbuttons and non-pushbutton panteras. The website make this car seem pretty cherry, that's why I bought it, but it actually needed a lot of work and time to sort out the car. I had a friend of a friend drive down to see the car in person and he said the car was pretty nice like a 8/10 but in actually it was a 4/10 and needed a lot to restore it to its current condition.

Hi Benchu, interesting to hear you say that. I contacted the owner a few years ago - probably around 6 or more, when he had it for sale, and as you say it looked fantastic in the pictures. I enquired a bit and heard it had a few bubbles and got some photos sent. I read as much as possible about Panteras and got a bit nervous about potential issues and got put off by the local US car importers not wanting to help me with import. So I passed it up. I always wondered aboout it.
Cheers, Tim.

Hi, could I trouble you for some pics of the wheels, I want to step my PB to later wheels but haven't been able to find single slots. I have pb 1329 undergoing a very meticulous to as original restoration. Found the Michelin xwx in england for the 15" but would never actually drive on it. What sizes do you have? Thanks, Oreste.
