Any info on 3239 in the registry?

O OaksterMember

My first post and first Pantera after reading this forum for years!

I just picked up (got in at 2am this morning) #3239 from the last owner’s son. Unfortunately, his father passed several years ago. His father purchased in in 2006 (per the title), but the son doesn’t have any history on the car.

I’ve tried to register for the site numerous times but can’t get a password.

Car has a bunch of minor modifications but it’s very original rust free but needs all the normal upgrades (electric, cooling, brakes, paint)

I plan to make it a super nice car when I’m done but would love to know more about its story.

Thanks for your help and making this such a great community that I’m happy to now be a part of!

Thank you so much Husker!  That’s exactly the car and it even has all the same issues in the ad so I can 100% confirm it’s the same car (haha).   I bought it out of Illinois and it’s very rust free so I figured it didn’t live in the rust belt.  

It’s great to know a little more about the car. Really appreciate the info!

The BMW transmission was an upgrade only available on a few pre L Panteras. I clearly won the lottery with this one.  

It’s great to have even a little history on this car and the Craigslist ad was a big help. I wish they captured the price they were asking in 2005.  

We’re so lucky to have a resource like the Pantera Registry!

The BMW version of the ZF was developed by ZF and BMW in the late 1970's, for use in the BMW M1. The first M1 rolled off the production line in 1978. The BMW M1 ZF had several external modifications to the case, in order to strengthen/reinforce it. These reinforcements are very distinctive and obvious from a distance. As far as I know, the first Pantera's to use this version of the ZF were Si's. In looking at the engine compartment photo of 3239 in the registry, it does not have the BMW version of the ZF.
