I met a guy here in Sydney a while ago and he told me how he used
to race panteras in Japan.
One of the cars in it was his, can't remember which one though.
He said he sold his car to fund his new business here in Sydney,
and yes it's a Japanese restaurant.
I just became an active enthusiast "600"
This is the site....
It's all Japanese, just click on "model variation"

Yikes

If it wasn't for the signs in Japanese I'd swear this was SCA near the John Wayne Airport. Look at the sky. Just like LA LA land.
There must be thirty Panteras there.
Ron, check out the Black GT5 with the roll cage attaching to the rear chassis.

This if a very interesting website. Lots of distasteful mods and ghastly wheels, but also some very nice cars.
If you click on the word "picture" next to each car you will see more pics. The white GT5S with its lights up is one of the meanest looking Panteras I have ever seen.
Here is a direct link to that car, those wheels look perfect.

Nice cars, but very few legit late models. Most of the GT5s and GT5Ss seem to be conversions.

The big bumpers weren't only for 'L' cars but any Pantera imported into North America after 'X' year??

Yeah, they're kinda' big, Ron.
