At the nominal rate as of noon today, it works out to 55,859.85 USD

Nice car!. That is an interesting combination of GT5S style flairs with GT5 style air dam.

I would think he'd be asking a lot more for that Pantera.

Yes, looks very nice and excellent price in US dollars. Anyone know about issues with importing to US? Oops, I just saw it's a 1982, like my Italian mechanic tells me about trying to import these later model modified cars...fagetaboutit.

Its not the 20 year rule 2002 it should have been OK ?

Agreed! I actually prefer the deep GT5 front airdam on a GT5S.

Here's a different spin...a GT5S with GT5 runnning boards. The running boards actually match the front air dam.

No. The rule is 25 years.

Since the car is about an hour from me near Frankfurt, I can probably swing a trip and check it out for someone. The car has been for sale for over 6 months...

I've lusted after this one for a while. I'm also surprised at the price. Where's an extra $55K when you need it???

I agree with most. The price is very low...for what looks like a very nice car...glad I made the decision to buy a resto-project and make it to my taste.
Would you think the difficult sale is due to the color?

that is one VERY hot looking Pantera...one of my personal favorites, lots of good taste in the details!

My personal opinion the car the cars flairs and spoilers are balanced and proportioned perfectly ... not 100% sure why its priced reasonably ... probably because its not a real 5S or 5 ? as long as the work under neath looks as good as the top ?

Panther ..so 25 years makes this 2007 ? Too bad I have to pass this up ... I have a family member in customs in the auto division in Netherlands who could help also ... but just cant swing the cash at this time. But thanks.

Could you give the seller a call and ask for the VIN?

Someone informed me it is fiber flares not steel, to me that may be why price is low, that coupled with questionable import possibilities to the US. Nice looking though.

Pity the euro is so strong to the aussie dollar, would look nice 'down under !!'

The Euro and the Swiss franc are sliding, and no one is predicting the bottom yet here. At today's rate the conversion to Dollars is down to $53,265 and may scratch the high 40's before the month is out. Take a look in mid November...

This is one of my favourite Panteras. But huh - fibreglass flares and suddenly the price drops?

I have fibreglass flares. Fortunately, I am not planning on selling anytime soon. At least not while I am alive.

I doubt it is the fiberglass flares responsable for the price, it is more likely the economic times in Europe (and the US for that matter). For 6 months now the papers have done nothing but remind people about how uncertain the future is, about how the economy s^cks, and about the difficult times ahead. The European stock markets have had record losses in the past few months.

And due to the banking situation, it is very difficult to get loans which may not help selling this car. I have had an apartment for sale on the Mediterranean coast for the past 3 years.. got a buyer a few months back but the banks have made it really tough to get a mortgage and he couldn't get one... So it's still for sale despite a very reasonable price.

Kind of like this car...
