Cross breeding

I'll be showing in a "Mustang & Ford Powered" show next month. Can't wait to see all the Rustang guys scratchin' their butts and asking "Wut's that thing?"...

I'm not feeling the love from you guys. Bwahaahaa.

As a "rustang guy" (interesting jab considering Panteras reputation) I find it doubtful too many will be "scratchin' their butts" because of a Pantera at a "Ford Powered" show especially if its anything like Knotts. Most of the Mustang enthusiast guys/gals I know are up on Clevelands and the various cars they powered.

Now the spectators is a different story....

I have been invited by various street rod clubs to join but you have to display these big old stickers on your car, so I said no. Besides I don't want to be a gang member. I don't even like rap music.

I hang with a Cougar Club. I figure both were on the sales floor at the same time...
There are a handful of Panteras in town, but since my car has been in the garage, I haven't seen em.

I do not discriminate ,,, I'll hang out with any hot rod club, if it goes fast, I'm there.

The Pantera owners I know of here in Vegas (four so far) own other high end cars (Lambo, Viper, turbo NSX, Lotus) and tend to belong to clubs with other multiple-car owning folks.

It could be that elitism isn't as stong because the car culture isn't that strong...or, maybe I met the one nice guy in the Ferrari club? :-)

I doesn't matter who made it, only if it's cool or not.

Local Shelby clubs here in the midwest always invite Pantera owners to join them at events. Several of the other marques also invite Panteras such as the Ferrari, Porche and even an occational Vette club. Street rodders hate us though.

I spend a little time on the F-car site and have found support - dare I say even some respect - from that community when the Pantera name comes up. I'm sure there are jerks out there, like in any crowd, but the last Pantera mention on there had about 4 who owned (or used to own) them, plus photos, and good response thereafter.

Heck, one time I mentioned Cowboy George's name on there and actually got an agreement that he's a nice guy! Imagine that! This comment came from a guy who visits both boards, owning a Pantera and a Boxer.

He said, and I quote, that if given the ultimatum to pick ONE to keep, he'd select... drum roll, please ... the Pantera.

I think these groups are likely coming closer to the single banner of "vintage Italian car nuts" with less emphasis on what brand.

Anyway, have fun! And please do show off all the incredible attributes of these fine cars.
