I'm putting together a group buy discount for 10-quart baffled oil pans from Armando's Racing Oil Pans for our Panteras.
Please contact me directly if you're interested in participating in the program (garth_rodericks@yahoo.com)
Here's the deal...
351-C oil pans for Pantera
15% discount - min. order of 10 - $339 each (reg $399)
This is the same discount that's been offered on the last two group buys.
351-W oil pans for Pantera
10% discount - individual units in the group buy
15% discount - if 5 or more are in the group buy
289/302 oil pans for Mangusta
10% discount
15% discount - if 5 or more are in the group buy
*** ORDERING ***
Contact me directly to get on "the list." Include the following information:
- your full name
- shipping address
- phone number
- email address
- application (351C Pantera, 351W Pantera, 289 Mangusta, etc)
Jan 8 through Jan 12 (Monday - Friday)
You will contact Armando's directly to place/confirm your order, pay for your order and confirm shipping information. You MUST contact Armando's within this window to confirm your order to receive the group buy discount.
All payments and shipping arrangements will be made directly with Armando's Racing Oil Pans.
Note: PayPal payments will be charged a 2% processing fee.
*** DELIVERY TIMELINE ***
The initial shipment of the first 5-6 pans will be 2-3 weeks after orders are placed. The second shipment of 5-6 pans will be 2-3 weeks following the initial shipment, and so on.
If you need your pan within a specific timeframe (e.g. first shipment), then please include that information when you contact me and when you confirm your order with Armando's Racing Oil Pans. Armando's will do everything within reason to accomodate your reaquest. I would like to make sure everyone has appropriate expecatations so we can avoid unneccessary calls, rush orders and stress for Armando's. The success of a group buy program such as this depends on the simplicity of the process for both the vendor and the consumer. If it becomes too much of a hassle for the vendor, he/she may not be willing to accomodate such a program in the future (or offer such attractive pricing).
*** MISCELLANEOUS ***
If you have need for a pan other than the offer above, contact Armando's directly. They're quite pleasant to work with and may even offer you the same 10% discount for other misc orders placed as part of the group buy. Again, contactact them directly to describe what you need and see what they can do for you.

*** TESTIMONY FROM SATISFIED CUSTOMERS ***
"I replaced my factory GR3 large baffled pan with an Armando pan, and the build quality and design is just so much better on the Armando pan."

"And the Armando pan gets two flaming thumbs up from me! Great pan that fits, at a good price. Official pan of Team Pantera Racing!"
http://realbig.com/pipermail/detomaso/2006-December/079439.html
"I wish this could have been two months ago,I just bought one of Armando's Pan. I must say, he does nice work, and really helped me out in a BIG way."
http://realbig.com/pipermail/detomaso/2006-December/079466.html
"You'll only need gaskets and the front & rear pan seals (that are usually part of a 'pan set'."
http://realbig.com/pipermail/detomaso/2006-December/079480.html
"No pan can be dropped from a Pantera unless the car is a post-'80 machine or has been modified with a removeable rear crossmember & e-brake bracket."
http://realbig.com/pipermail/detomaso/2006-December/079481.html
"you may need to slightly trim the bolt-on internal baffle to clear the oil pickup tube."

This offer is an excellent deal! Just check the price of an Aviad pan for your Pantera! Also, Armando's has experienced some hassles on prior group buys and was only going to offer a 10% discount this time around. I have negotiated the discount back to 15% and Armando's agreed to include additional product in the group buy as outlined above. This was only possible because I agreed to be the point of contact for organizing "the list" to minimize the hassle-factor for Armando's.
Please contact me directly to participate in the program, and include the requested information. I will reply confirmation and notify you on Monday, January 8, 2007 once "the list" has been provided to Armando's Racing Oil Pans so you can confirm your order according to the instructions above.
Cheers!
