In case anyone wants a Ferrari to go with their Pantera...

Good luck...I would not hesitate to buy ANOTHER car from you!

Beautiful car! Typical F-chatters, almost drove me crazy last time I listed a Ferrari on there. Ended up selling it to a dealer because of all the hassle.

Good luck with your sale,
Mike

coincidence, i sold my '85 Ferrari 328GTS a month ago.

Thanks TomCat! Easy and free to join (I think. Been there so long I actually don't remember!)

Yeah, I totally over-pampered that car. Just 12,800 miles in 28 years. Rather great.

I totally, thoroughly, and completely agree. Had a dealer jump in, uninvited, to make a rather boneheaded comment in an attempt to derail. If I had time to be vindictive, I'd return the favor.

I know what you mean, but thankfully the sane people outnumber the idiots, just the idiots are louder.

Ended up selling to an Fchatter, good guy who understood me, the car, the deal. Another pic - -

Yep, I think it would surprise most people how many gearheads there are on F-chat.
Most appreciate the Pantera as well.
Like you said, the idiots are the loudest.
Congrats on your sale!

Mike

Damn that is a fine looking car. Congrats on the sale.

Glad you were able to make a deal.
One black car is enough for me! :-)

congrats on sale !

i had myself a real perfect one... drove it 200 miles and got enough. Had dreams about it but was a great disappointment. No real torque, just rev's noise and the fear anything could break at Ferrari "costs" ... between steering wheel and dashboard one hands can't pass above... didn't like the car. no.
I tought it would have been the ultimate "Pantera", same profile AND targa .... no way.

Many have made similarly inverse comments about the Pantera. (Crude, ponderous, what brakes?) Good thing we have many performance cars to choose from!

I agree that the torque is hard to find below about 4 grand, but the upper rev howl and 'on the button' feel of that car singing up high, superbly balanced, and one wrist tightening away from a lane change is mighty fun. Just a different driving experience all around.

Driving the Pantera brings out a whole different type of attitude for me and I love it too. Unreal low end grunt, an incredible gearbox (we are so fortunate to have one of the best gearboxes ever made in these cars!) and of course the Ford V8 telling the world this is no high-strung delicate machine.

I've had mine 10 years now. It may be time for me to move on with it too as we simplify our lives. If I do, I'll start another thread. Tough call, as I'v kept it through a dozen or so other toys over the years.
