For Sale: Group 4 and 5S

does200does200Member

March 2018 update: Now getting more serious about selling, so if anyone is interested just shoot me an email to get things rolling: ciao4u2@aol.com

Both cars are impeccable show cars (show & big go). If no interest, will probably start with ebay first or classic car trader as initial stabs at the market.

Sorry, I guess I should explain more. I get the itch to sell once in a while for various reasons and then end up pulling back, as you know we all have unique cars which are hard to let go. However I finally discovered I just have too many toys and it is getting to be a bit much with working full time. But the main reason is that they just get too much attention, and oddly enough that can get a little annoying. For example, yesterday I just took them out for some quick exercise & gas, stopped on the side of the road to snap a couple photos and got mobbed by people stopping & chatting and taking their selflies by the car. Half hour later same at the gas station. After that was done, then the police followed me home. They were car guys too and just wanted to chat, so that part ended on a good note as I thought I was getting a ticket for noise, no wipers, or something. So all that was about two hours, and I only took out one car, and then had similar occurrences with the other car. I know you guys know what I am talking about, and am sure you felt the same on occasion where attention is fun but sometimes it gets to be a bit much. I really don't know how movie stars handle it, as similar, they can't just go out anywhere without getting mobbed all the time.

Haha, how did you know? Actually thinking of retirement and getting a VW Bus and traveling the coast with the puppies & wife. So it's funny you knew VW. In the mean time I would still have 5 other cars to play with after selling...still too much.

How do you keep it so clean?

Good luck with the sale.

Thanks. Of course never seen rain & just drive it to shows mainly if at all. Plus being pretty anal, I tend to polish & wax the underside and suspension just like the top of the car. Basically I just run it around the neighborhood in my socks every 3 weeks to wake the neighbors and keep it well maintained. With those special valve covers/girdle, can go nicely above 6k RPM no problemo to make them fall out of bed.

I knew it would come back to haunt me for not taking up residence with that ugly rich redhead I could have had in college. But no, I had to go out of my fcking way and look for true love.

Damn!

Ha ha, yes, choices choices...red car & redhead. But the true love may let you bust out the cash anyway for making the right choice. I usually get on my knees and beg, works for me.

Just saying.....

What, Ferrari purebreds interested in Panteras? What the hey! I think I tried posting in that Ferrari website before tagging onto some discussions about my cars, but the post got canned because they said I had to pay and can't freely post about cars for sale. So I just posted "info" instead. But anyway, I have a guy interested, but he needs to work out some financing, so I will see how that goes. He desires that I take down ads in the mean time, but I would prefer keeping the ads just in case. I guess this is reality, because who really keeps cash in their mattress anymore.

I agree. Ferrari people find Panteras so degrading. Italian car day shows tend to bear this out. I've never had a Ferrari owner even speak to me. They all but take out an aerosol air freshener after I walk by? After I drove by and the guy put on his windshield washer speaks volumes.

A Detomaso is just a fancy Fiat with an American irrigation engine in it to them. Even worse, Detomaso went partners with Ford on the Pantera. Yuck!

No different than the Corvette guys who won't look at you at the light though.

By the same token, they don't talk to the Lamborghini guys either. Maybe it's a reverse compliment. They must realize they are out gunned by virtually everyone...except Fiat that is?

Doug, Its not as bad as you make out to be here in So Cal. I used to go to Irvine C&C often with the Pantera, 575M, and the Bora. I don't think I was treated any differently.

I will say however, If I take any of the above cars to a local muscle car show no one even looks at them. (my mustangs they look at) I guess its all Italian crap to those old (by old I mean not open minded)American iron straight line guys.

A few years ago, I wound up beside a new baby-blue Ferrari (sorry, I can't keep up with their new cars)at a stop light. We caught each other's eye and he spoke first with something like "That is a beautiful car."

I have on several occasions spent 10-20 minutes discussing Panteras with Ferrari owners at various Monterey events.

And PCNC old timers tell the story of a few members stopping to offer assistance to a parked-at-the-side-of-the-road Ferrari. Unable to resolve the problem, they moved on. But next year, guess who was in the deTomaso corral with his new Pantera? He said many fellow Ferrari owners had just cruised by as he sat on the road side. After the PCNC offer of help, he decided he wanted to belong to THAT type of group, not his no-offer-of-help fellow Ferrari owners.

YMMV

A couple of years ago we drive to a classic car show , a friend of a friend drive a brand new Ferrari Spider,and also dont talk whit us as a driver of a old Iso Grifo 7 litri .

But when we drive on the high way he must give every horse power into his Ferrari to sty close by me , and whit the brembo brake's even my Grifo stop's great into the today's traffic.
He was suprised about the muscle from the old style ironcast egine.Long story short, now he owns 2 Grifo's and 2 Pantera's and when we go to a car show he drive alway's one of those US powered cars.
