Peter Havlik has worked with others to assemble one, it is very good, but not complete. He continues to collect data so it is a work in progress.

So far I have well over 100 post-1978 cars, with over 1,900 photos and information sheets.
I'm in real need of German, French and Japanese translators, so if anyone literate in any of those languages would be willing to help, I could tie up a lot of loose ends.
My intention is to have the information collection made available to the Pantera community eventually. In the meantime, I'm happy to answer any specific questions anyone may have. Just post here or send me a private message.
If you can provide me with help, photos or substantial information I don't already have, then I'm happy to return the favour by mailing you a DVD with the entire collection on it.

Where can we see it?

Well, I suppose you could come over to my house. I'm only 1,500km northeast of Vancouver, BC.
Seriously though, it's not posted on the web yet so you can't see it unless I send it to you on a DVD. The collection is huge and would take a lot of time to put up on a web site - time that I would prefer to spend hunting down new cars. There are also some practical, ethical and legal questions I need to answer first.
All these problems can be solved, but I just have not had the time to deal with it. Do you have anything specific you're looking for?

Peter - you might want to try an on-line translator. They can translate individual words or whole web sites.

Peter,
Surely there must be someone up there that can translate the French? Canada is still a dual language country isn't it? I could give it a go at a push, although Spanish became my second language and I dropped the French. If I struggle I have an English guy that grew up in Quebec working with me.
I also have a Japanes guy working for me and can get the Japanes translated for you if you can send me what you need done.

Peter,
D&D,
Check your email. I sent you a few pics.

My experience with Google is that their translations come out as gibberish. I used Google to translate the Team Pantera Japan web site, and it was, for the most part, incomprehensible. But, yes, I will use it as a last resort.
Joules5:
Yes, Canada is a bilingual country but, other than some broken high school French, I'm not. I'm also in a region where there are very few French speakers. No matter, I've got a few friends living elsewhere that speak French that I could probably blackmail into translating for me, so don't worry about that. As for your offer of the services of your Japanese co-worker, I'll take you up on it - I'll send you an e-mail with what I'm looking for. Mostly I'm interested in the cars on the Team Pantera Japan web site, and would like to establish contact with that club.
Panther:
I checked my e-mail and it was like Christmas! I love those detail shots of that black GT5-S. It's almost Pantera porn! Thanks very much, and good luck with your hunt for a GT5-S!

Peter,
No I'm not looking for anything in particular, just nosey that's all.

Why not share those hot GT5-S pics with us?
And oh yeah... en Québec nous ne sommes pas comme le gars de l'ouest - ici tout le le monde parle Francais. On n'a pas un choix!

The photos were provided to me by Panther, who is looking to buy the car. I would be reluctant to post them until he has either bought the car, decided not to buy the car, or given me permission. I try to be sensitive to the circumstances when people send me photos for my collection. I would not want to be responsible for someone "scooping" Panther on the purchase of the car, starting a bidding war, or some other such unforseen eventuality.
Oh, and I ran your French text through Google translator, as per cat7195' suggestion, and it came back with "In Quebec not we are like the studs in the west - here all the world speak in high voices with women's underwear. One's choice has not!"
Ummm.... should I take this as your peculiar way of offering to help me translate? I'd be grateful for your help, but only as long as I don't get too much information about what you are wearing while you're doing it.

You sure look different without the hat, George.
Peter, I am willing to translate your documents in french, I've got about a month to kill before i get #6610 back from PI. It will be my pleasure
That's great, Mic, as long as there's none of that women's underwear stuff!
Thanks ever so much. I'll send you a private message with my e-mail address and we can get in touch directly. I'm really excited about this because, thanks entirely to George Pence (see photo above), the great iron curtain with France has fallen. Yes, Stephane Poux, president of the DeTomaso Club of France, has finally agreed to help!
I now need to pull everything I know and don't know about French Panteras together and prepare a submission, which is what I will need your help translating.
By the way, I saw the photos of your car in one of Deeb's photo albums here on the PI BB, and it is one sweet ride. What a cherry car. Congratulations on your acquisition and I know you are going to have fun!

Hi Guys,
I'd be happy to add any 9000-series Pantera's to the registry at QV500.com. There must be approaching 100 Maggiore and Embo cars already listed but I'm always looking for new ones.
Peter - if you want to send me what you have, PM me and we can discuss getting started.
