Does anyone have ay information on THPNMB02368 other than what's in the ProvoMo registry? Mostly wondering if the odometer of 20K miles is legit, or is it 120K miles? I'm guessing the later based on how dirty the bottom of the car is. Thanks

That car looks fairly clean, the underside isn't overly beaten up on the chassis rails nor the front valance. I'd guess by all the upgrades, potentially rebuilt engine etc. it's been driven rather than sat around for 50- years. A little bit of negotiating and it could be a decent buy and better that it has miles, as no refurbishment of rotted rubber and no worries in putting lots more on it!
somebody did spend some money on it… aluminum A - arms…wheels & tires, aluminum brace, exhaust, fuel injection..
I guess it was sitting for many years and someone got it going again!
look at the manufacturing date of the tires, that’s probably when it got revived..!
Check wear on steering wheel, shift knob, Wear on the door locks/ latches..
look for rust… magnet and make sure there is metal everywhere!
the car I bought did 80 miles in 8 years (maybe more years) and I have to replace everything! Bought it with 32k total miles. You don’t use it, you lose it!
The mileage on this car is absolutely over 200k. It has been driven in nearly every state in the US multiple times and has been coast to coast several times as well. The previous owner drove it daily for the past 20 years.

Typo? “Over 200k” or did you try to say over 20k? Just verifying …

No typo. Easily 200k. He drove the car EVERYWHERE! To the jobsite, to the RUSH concert, to the grocery store, up and down both coasts looking at lighthouses....everywhere.

The car was in a collection in NJ ( I believe ) and had 13k miles on it in 2000 when the previous owner purchased it. That didn't last long.

Thank you everyone for the insight and information. Very helpful. I had a feeling the miles on this car were high. That's great the previous owner enjoyed it so much. Surprising he'd let it go.
I notice the ZF's angle drive has been replaced by a VSS, probably from Milwaukee Speedometer. I guess he got tired of replacing speedo cables so he converted his speedometer from cable driven to electronic.
Not sure if this is a fare comparison if the car is worn out and needs a lot of work.
But, I'm into my car for $90K and still counting though it is drivable and fairly presentable. I've done lots of upgrades but this might give you a reference on price.
Maybe with a little negotiating it could be a decent deal.

If you are looking for a car, there are others to pick from before buying this one. I posted 4 for sale here for a local friend. His red driver car is very nice for $80K. I have seen it myself. Look on the for sale section.
I recently purchased this Pantera! I finally have my dream car. Does anyone know the previous owner? I would like to get in contact with them so I can get more details about the car. Thanks in advance.

I wish more “Miss Panteras” would show up to our local events!
