Wow, flat bulkhead! Where was that engine 35 years ago? Nice, very, very nice. I like the IR FI.

Okay the final word is I have to sell it so I am looking for best reasonable offers. It was appraised at $60-65k in 2002 by Dave Adler of PIM.

No, I wanted to try and sell it on my own first but I will contact him if I am not successful in the next month or two.

I don't get commission from this you know.
PI has become very visable and as a result have a lot of interested parties.
I'm just trying to help.

My loss is your gain! New price $45k. At this price I am basically giving it away.

Madguy,
Do you have a list of work done on it? Milage? what are the specs for the motor?

Yes I have all of that info, just not handy. Are you considering purchasing it?
Patrick Wu (Guest)
still on the fence... I'm seriously looking at an Elise, but I've admired your car ever since I saw your posting on this board months ago..
JK (Guest)
Kris, where did you get the headers done? Does the 5.4 allow you to plumb headers so you can use the stock muffler location?
awesome car!
thanks.

The 5.4 headers are the same ones used for 4.6 conversions. The headers allow the mufflers to exit in the stock location.

I have driven the Elise, nice car but I compare it more to my 04 Mazdaspeed Miata than the Pantera. If you become more interested in my car let me know and I will compile all the info for you.
Patrick Wu (Guest)
thank, going to test drive one this weekend, I'll let you know.
btw, the A-10 has always been my favorite Jet, I have a 1/72 scale model since 1991. That avenger cannon is baddass!

Updated info on car
Here is a rundown of what has been done to the Pantera.
Fluidyne aluminum radiator with Flexalite dual 12" sucker fans thermostically controlled by the engine mangement system and independently (I am an aircraft mechainc and believe in redundancy for critical systems)
All new heavy duty gates radiator hoses and stainless steel radiator pipes.
Engine compartment stripped to bare metal and covered with POR-15 anti-rust coating.
Rare aluminum fuel tank (modified to make the 5.4 fit and to accept the in-tank electric fuel pump
carbon fiber hood and decklid
New trunnion bearing
All new electrical wiring in engine compartment
2001 Lincoln Navigator 5.4L DOHC engine with:
10:1 forged hi compression pistons (custom made for the 5.4 by Diamond CP
Forged Manley H-beam connecting rods
Stock ford forged crankshaft
ford hi-vol oil pump with cryo treated gears
Headers and engine mounts by Panteras by Wilkinson
Heads ported and polished with 3 angle valve job with brand new intake and exhaust valves
Crower Stage 3 cams (hi-rev)
All new timing gears and chains
The crown jewel of the engine is without a doubt the intake manifold. It is a first of its kind designed and built by Kinsler Racing. It is an old school independant runner manifold with fuel injection and 8 2 3/16" velocity stacks. This combo makes this engine scream and it isn't even broken in yet.
Accel DFI Gen-7 engine management system dyno-tuned by Mike Murillo here in San Antonio
42lb FMS fuel injectors
2 MSD DIS-4 Ignition boxes (1 for each bank)
ZF was rebuit by RBT transmissions by PO and is in flawless condition (gear oil changed every year)
Brakes are Hall Super Stopper 2 that I installed in 2002 and aftermarket master cylinder installed by PO not sure the brand(I am a stickler for maintenance and flush the brake and clutch fluid every year, last done in May 06)
PO had the car painted by Eddie Meeks who is a big time painter in SoCal. for about $10000 around 2000. Paint looks extremely good but is 6 years old and has imperfections like rock chips on the fenders. But remember this is a car that spent it's entire life in So Cal and South Texas so it as rust free as a Pantera can get.
Wheels are CCW modular 3-piece forged aluminum and are absolutley stunning from any angle. Tires are Michelin Pilot Sports and are in great shape as well.
INTERIOR
Fiero seats with custom leather seat covers
Momo steering wheel
Hall "fire-proof" amp gauge
flat engine accces panel
Ford aerostar window motor conversion
headlights and ignition converted to relays per Mike Dailey's website instructions.
All accessories, lights, and gauges work
Air conditioning is not hooked-up but all the parts are there except the hoses. So you would have to install new AC hoses and get it charged but that shouldn't cost much.
Blaupunkt radio w/ 6 disc changer in front trunk
custom short throw shift knob, modified shift gate, and leather shift gate cover.
SUSPENSION
Suspension is the original KONI orange shocks and springs and is in fine condition but it is a 40 yr old car so I would consider replacing all the rubber and wear suspension parts.
That's all I can think of I have a manilla folder full of receipts for all the work that was done. I didn't mention most of the little things that I purchased like all new switches, etc.
If you are still interested let me know but I must tell you that I am not a motivated seller. I was a couple of months ago but I am changing my mind more and more every day

IS THIS CAR STILL FOR SALE
Zcremator I flew down to Texas and I bought the 5.4. It is a real nice car. Had a lot of trouble with the shipper. They did not like the fuel injectors sticking up through the deck, and refused to ship the vehicle. I was left hanging. However they did find another shipper that would take the responsibility for a hefty price.
