$499,000 Pantera For Sale

I saw that earlier this morning and when I looked at the auction location I was expecting to see Fantasy Land instead of Ontario because that's they only place where a Pantera will ever fetch the asking price let alone appreciate to GTO value.....made me smile though.

at that asking, you would think they would have some decent size pics

Damn, now I don't feel that bad with mine at close to 100.

Maybe some of the interior too?

@ Panterror. You must be thinking Pontiac GTO. Ferrari GT0's are in the 50 million area aren't they?

No, just commenting on the seller making that comparison on the future value of his car to that of a Ferrari GTO value in his auction

"This might soon be a 20-30 million dollar car like the 62 Ferrari GTO since both cars have substancial racing history !"

....and as far as race history comparison, the car doesn't look like it has been raced but was supposedly restored, so not sure if that remark is supposed to refer to his specific car or just comparing the make and/or marque, but if the latter, it's equally as ridiculous of a comparison as the statement of value. I love my Pantera but am not delusional about it.....just sayin. It's just eBay, anybody can run an auction, doesn't mean it's relevant.

But hey, all you need to do is place a $500k bet with someone that it will indeed sell at that price, hit the BIN button and then ask them to pay up. You’ll either end up with your own $500k GT5 for free or a half million bad debt.

Best,

GTO- less than 30 built and covered in racing glory for a decade, penned by Bizzarrini and jewel engined by Colombo, with mechanicals meant to race.
GR 4 and not GT5S - competitive but no GTO.......sorry, ask even Ismo Sabatini and the autoluce team who prepared the DT engines after Bud Moore modified them and they'll probably agree it ain't a GTO!
Love does cause.....500k delusions!

This car comes up time to time since the last 5 years. Not sure if it was the same seller but some of the photos are identical with them I saw time ago. When I saw the car last time (Feb 2013 at classic cars 4 sale) the price was 68.000 CAD....

Must be a typo
one too many 9's and one too many 0's

The car is also listed on autotrader.ca at $149,900 by "Jiffy Car Sales" in Sault St Marie, Ontario citing $85000 spent on a recent restoration. I could be wrong but I also think this car spent time at "The Guild" shop that has the tv show Restoration Garage in Bradford Ontario.

Can some of our Ontario friends enlighten us more on this car?

I remember seeing this car advertised for sale a few years back for around $60k?? It looked decent in the photos and I couldn't understand why it hadn't sold for quite a long time.
i was hoping to get out to take a look as it was on the way to my cottage but never got around to it.

Relisted as an auction.
.

So it goes from $499k start/fixed price listing to a no reserve auction with $.99 start price?

Maybe it was all a ruse to get discussion going, it worked!

Now just over $50K, will be interesting to see whether the listing is pulled at the last minute.

a link so I don't have to search to watch bidding

I also saw it when it was listed for $60K about 5 years ago. He's been trying to sell it since then. Then it went to $85K I think and then jumped to $150+ and now $.5M. Must be good weed up in that neck of the woods.

I'm guessing It will be pulled at the last minute

Since it has been for sale a number of years, I am really surprised that another member hasn't chimed in with more info on the car or has actually inspected the car.

I think the owner is pulling more than his listing.

Is that the black car seen on "Restoration Garage"? One of The Guild owners (the money guy) owns/owned one and I was excited to see it get a small amount of TV time on the show.
