Relocating to Raleigh/Chapel Hill!!

Greetings!

Unfortunately it's been a while since I've been on here. As some of you may remember, I left Indy and moved to the Bahamas for a two year a work assignment (rough life, I know). Well, the two years are coming to an end and I'm coming back to the states by the end of the year! The Primal Princess has been in storage and will be moving from Indy as well. I've missed her much!

Would love to find any owners in the Raleigh area. I heard about the Morrisville C&C and hope to attend that at some point. Car will probably need a tune up first after laying idle for that long, but with the long honey-do list for moving into a new home, may take a little while. 

Post or PM me here. Also, my email is wsuarez185@gmail.com

Regards,

William

 

Beautiful llookin' car. Have fun with it now that you're back.

When you are out cruising, I am about 40 minutes south, near the cross roads of I40 & I95.    I  have a shed full of parts and no plans what to do with them

Welcome! trstno1 is in Cary. I'm in Greensboro. 

Welcome to the area!  I'm pretty close by in Cary. Let me know when you get her back out. Looks like a really nice cat! 

Wow, it only seems like yesterday you posted on Facebook your arrival in the Bahamas, can't believe it's 2 years already! 

Thanks guys for the replies.

Husker and TRSTNO1, do you have running cars and do you attend the Morrisville Cars & Coffee at all?

That’s right Joules, it went FAST!

Mine is running.

Too far for me. I'm about 1.5 hours from Raleigh/Durham. 

TRSTNO1 hasn't posted in awhile. Don't know if he's lurking or not. Think his car was a project car. 

Yeah, my car is a running project, but it's on the road. Haven't taken her to any car events yet. I've got her out this weekend though. PM me if you want to catch up sometime, or just talk Panteras. I've got a lot to learn yet! 

Sounds good. Looks like you’re not that far from me.  I’m by Jordan Lake. Interestingly, I just connected with the manager of C&C and he said a red one goes sometimes but he doesn’t know who it is... will need to find out. 👍

Hmmm, maybe I need to make a road trip. C&C around here run from time change to time change so we're done for the year. Not very many shows until spring of next year. 

Nice car TRSTNO1, congratulations!

HUSKER Is this yours?

Timing works so I can tune her up over the winter and get her road ready by the spring.

I'm in Rocky Mount, have a running 72 GT-5 conversion.  Sean Korb is in Raleigh and has a red pushbutton car, could be the other red one mentioned.  I would probably come out for an arranged C&C with several others.  I've done that for a show here some years ago (when I owned #22).  Also driven up to Richmond several times for shows there, especially the Central Virginia Mustang Club-sponsored shows.  At times there were 4 or so there.  Not as good as the Pocono shows or Atlanta ICD in the glory years, but a lot closer.  Henderson, NC has a nice show each fall I've also been to a few times, just very few European cars there.  Would be nice to have several roll in together there sometime.  Their categories are not very conducive to Panteras though.  We might be able to persuade some of the Richmond area owners to drive down there, only about 2 hours south of Richmond, an hour north of Raleigh and about the same for me.  It's a big affair (often around 800 cars).  

Thanks Buttonguy. So now looks like there are 5 nearby. That’s wonderful! Sean Korb sounds familiar. Will need to look him up.

Once I’ve got her road ready would love to meet halfway, like Zebulon, and caravan to C&C, as a start. Looking at their FB page they seem to have some nice European cars. Interesting, looks like C&C is smack between you and HUSKER.

You have any pics of your GT-5? I saw your album for #22.

Yep, that's mine. Beside it is Tomcat's car. He lives in Madison, a few miles north of Greensboro.

Thanks jfb05177. I meant to ask you why you have parts and no plan? Is there no car either?

That’s great, another one! Have all you guys ever gotten together for a drive? Beautiful car Husker.

Just Not assembled.

Looks like you've got quite a bit of work ahead of you. How long have you had it?

Beautiful car Buttondoor. Since she's buttonless, will you need to change your name? :-)

Looking forward to seeing everyone's cars soon!!

Thanks, and so far the good folks here have let me keep the name 

Husker and Buttondoor, really nice cars! I know I've got lot of work to do to get mine that nice. Hopefully we can all meet up sometime.

Thanks JFB05177. Sorry about all the difficulties. Nice trailer, and the ZF looks fantastic! I'll reach out and come by some time next spring.

I had a dream... (I’d be happy with three!)

Good morning guys, quick question on shipping. If you have comprehensive insurance on your car (outside of shipping), would that not cover the car when being shipped in the event of a total loss? Getting conflicting info from my insurance company. I guess I'm overly protective about my baby :-)

Thank you!

Hi all! Weather has been nice lately, finally no rain!  Anyone else been getter their car out? I'm still interested in getting together for a C&C sometime if anyone wants to. Would be nice to see some other cats! 

John

Went to a small show last weekend. Very nice weather. Looks iffy this weekend.  Hopefully Cars and Coffee in GSO on the 18th.

I got the car tuned and took it out for the first time a month ago on a trial run to the Carolina Exotic Car Club. She ran a bit rough and looks like I need to adjust the timing but haven't got to it. The 18th sounds good. I'll see if I can fix it this weekend since its raining. What is GSO?

Duz, GSO would be Greensboro NC. That would be a nice drive from you & I. Pm me if you want to meet up and drive out there, or just to meet up locally. 

Greetings NC Pantera team!

Well, unfortunately I haven't had a chance to fix the engine timing, and although still a little rough, she's running ok. Don't know that I'm up for a long trip yet. Got invited to a car show in Pittsboro this Saturday, which is relatively close. Would any of you be up for meeting at Beaver Creek (possibly) around 9:00, hang out for a few to meet each other, and then head to the show? Weather permitting of course!

William

Duz,

I could probably meet up for a few before the show. 

Sending you a PM

Looks like two of us are meeting. 👍 Anyone else?

Greetings! Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. I saw a beautiful yellow L last Thursday going east on 64 in Apex NC. Anyone have any idea who’s it is?
