ANOTHER SHADY Car Dealer

Yeah, I've been to their showroom. It's not in Beverley Hills, BTW. They are in a rougher area of LA and sell pretty much project cars and beaters. I certainly wouldn't buy anything without seeing it in person!

How would that gearbox fit to the rear wheels?
Where to put the drive shafts?
I asked, they told me it fits.
Was looking for a project car or a good runner. Luckily did not buy one of these.

Maybe the engine transmittion is a salvage out of a Cougar, one cat is the same as another, right

I have always tried to avoid dealers when purchasing a car but the experience I had when buying my Pantera from the States was outstanding the total opposite from one in the UK who lied through his teeth when he offered me a car that I had turned down at £30000 (around $46000 at the time) for £50000 What a shyster and it was from a dealer in the States who treated me with respect so it's only fair I should give them a mention 'The Toy barn' in Ohio. Not only did i manage to negotiate a massive $12000 off the sale price of $60000 but when I drove the car second gear crunched and they fixed the gearbox to an excellent level, fantastic service from you guys over in the States.
Just goes to show there are still some decent dealers left.
By the way the car is absolutely fantastic, starts on the button and drives superb only one issue was the dizzy pin broke so no big deal to rectify.

Mark , that's not a 351C engine either, they pulled an engine/transmission from a wrecking yard, steam cleaned it, and set it in the engine bay. Doubtful its even bolted-in.

shudders

can be easely adapted to power a trailer who pushes the car ? one can even use a 4x4 trailer and ofcourse no luggage problems...
Paris-Dakar with a Pantera !

Looks like a 302 with a C4 auto trans.

I emailed Beverly "Shady" Hills Car's & their response was...." We buy the car's as they are equipped, We did not install the motor & transmission.

They then told me that, Ellen DeGeneres was married to Brad Pitt...Mark

So how's that working out for them? What a bunch of slime balls.

LOL!
Yeah, pretty much the exact opposite of Beverly Hills; East LA to be precise!

I went there to test drive a blue Pantera they had earlier this year. Boy, that car was rough! Definite project material.

I will say the sales guy was very polite, didn't feed me any bull, and they did have a pretty good variety of old, cool cars. Worse ways to spend an hour.

But, I'd NEVER buy from them sight unseen, that's for certain.

What an opportunity. That could be the first and only V drive (boat reference) Pantera.
