71 Pushbutton

This won't help you too much with the value but is a good place to check some info and maybe let them know the location of yours:

Several dollars... probably more...

Seriously, though, it's totally dependant on condition, presence of rust, modifications, originality. If it’s a really clean, Arizona car that’s almost completely stock, probably $50K or more. If it’s a New Jersey car stored outside it’s entire life, repainted 6 times and outfitted with a rebuilt Chevy V6 and seats from a Buick... well, somewhat less.

Post some photos and details, and I’m sure you’ll get LOTS of input.

Welcome to the board, by the way. Where are you and how long have you owned your cat?

The car has been in Michigan it's entire life, garage kept, never driven in bad weather. The Body is very clean, no dings or rust. The paint and interior near showroom condition. The motor was balanced and blueprinted ,oh, maybe 25 years ago with only say 8k miles driven on it since. The heads were rebuilt a few years ago. The car runs very strong and has had a few updates but really it has been kept as original as possible. I believe it is quite a nice collector car and of course would be difficult to part with.

I would deffinantly get in tough with PI motorsports who host this forum. They are always looking for good cars to represent and they have a captive audience who are always looking for a car.

do you have any pictures?

Pictures please! also there is a registry for push button Pantera's at the following link and yours is not in there.

You will notice there is not many original push button cars in the registry so I think that makes your pretty special

Did Lincoln Mecury do any recall type work on your car after you purchased it and if they did do you remember what was done

Check with www.pim.net for prices. You may find someone that wants to pay a premium for a Pantera with pushbutton door handles and a few other different features.

But normally, I've seen these early cars priced the same as other Ford era 71-74 Panteras, where price is primarily dependent on the quality of the vehicle.

I think we are getting to a point with these Pantera's and Muscle cars where the next sale is guiding the value. Being a low mileage pushbutton is something worth marketing. It's value can really depend on finding the right person. With the way obscure muscle cars are going there may be a good price in something like this. I doubt any one can put a number on it....Before the sale.

Is the car still in michigan? I saw a green pushbutton outside of Andiamo's in Royal Oak, a couple of years ago. Was that you?

Yes, I believe that was my car. Do you remember how it looked? If I get some time maybe I'll post some pictures.

It was dark out, and a while ago, but I seem to remember it being a very nice looking, and very original looking car. I'd love to see the car in person someday. Maybe we can meet up sometime and compare Panteras. I live in West bloomfield and have a yellow '74L. Also, we get a bunch of Panteras and a couple of Mangustas together for the Woodward Cruise. We'd love to see you there this year. You can email me directly at ian351@comcast.net
