5756 is soon to be out Hemmings Sports and Exotics!

There was a Toyota 2000gt and a Cosmo posted up in the Arizona Land Cruiser forum.

Any chance you are a Land Cruiser owner as well?

Cosmo

Toyota

These both look like different cars, though...

P.S. Congrats on the article!

Congrats!

Rocky, we just sold the FJ40 at RM Auctions, world record price!

Wow!

I guess I better start working on my FJ-40 too.

Thanks for the tip! Congrats!

Just released! Made the cover!

Gorgeous car Glenn, congrats again

Glenn,

Fantastic! Can't wait to pick up a copy of the magazine....

Congrats Glenn. Great exposure and very nice looking Pantera! I love orange on it and it's nice to see a very stock car for a change too.

Thanks for the compliments!
I was hoping they would add some of the history of the car as its a great story.
I bought the car from the 3rd owner, if you do not count Ford Motor Company as the first owner.
The car was flown over by plane to Dearborn, where it was a Ford Motor Company EPA test car.
That is supposed to be why a Marti Report is not available, as it was not a retail car.
It was sold to a Ford employee, who put wire wheels, aftermarket carb and intake manifold on it. He sold it to the second owner when it was a year old, who kept it about 3 years and sold it to the guy I bought it from, who kept it until 2011 when I bought it.
When I traced the second owner from old paperwork included with the car, I asked if he remembered the car, he replied, yes, when he bought the car it had wire wheels on it, and came with the original perfect wheels in boxes, used for 1 year, that he still had stored in his garage!
I made a deal to buy the wheels and reunite them with the car, 38 years later!
It had 11,000 miles when I bought it, just turned over 12,000, mostly original paint. Really a nice original car! Thanks

I haven't bought the magazine yet, its not available at any of my local haunts, I promise I shall. Hemmings didn't include that story? It's a great story Glenn!

Wire wheels?

-G

wire wheels!

Sharp looking car.

I hope to see it in person!

Rocky

I've been checking from time to time, and it was finally on the shelves - Picked up my copy yesterday, good article and great shots, the car looks sharp ... Congrats!

Glenn -

I did not get that your car was so close in production to mine (I am #5753). And #5754 was the one who made me recognize it!

And we all know Tony Ortiz's car (BLACKPNTR) is #5360.

Very cool.

When I was out west for the Rocky Mountain Rumble a few years back, 5754 & 5758 were parked together at one point, we opened the hoods and the Body Service numbers were consecutive, so it was likely the first time the two cars were that close to each other since coming down the assembly line one after the other.

Body Service Numbers are 51529 and 51530
Rocky, Glenn, what are your BSNs ... I assume they are pretty close.

Sorry to go off topic here, it's just cool that there's a cluster of cars still alive and well in such a tight range ... Quality Control must have been on the ball that week

Congrats. I still miss my orange car. It's such the right orange for the car too.

Interesting... Mine is 51167

It is surprising (to me) that it's so far off.

How does that work? Do they get Serialized when they pop out at the end? It seems likely that they could... meaning an earlier body service number could get hung up in the production flow....
