Is this modified or a factory option? :-)

I would like to see more!

I saw a couple pictures of this car when I was searching for another Pantera to buy. Very cool! Here's another picture. Wes

Here's a slightly larger picture of the engine bay.

Looking close those 2 cars are different in...The top car has flares and cross tubing, The car Wtrandell provided has an alarm horn, no flares, and what is that thing on the left between the expantion tank and the alarm horn?

Oh, that is probably the fire hydrant hook up. What you are looking at is the rare factory optioned fire truck Pantera. Made for putting out fires real fast like.

the pics are different due to timing. Steve (PanteraSteve) recently added a GT-5 kit to his car.

He's been having engine issues but hopefully he'll be bringing it to Birch Bay and Langley.

That would be my car. The weird "thingy" on the left is just a spare electric fuel pump due to the fact I was having problems with the installed one at the time. Also, those pics are over ten years old. As far as the engine issues, I've had two Comp Cams go flat on my new motor. It's now being completely rollerised but unfortunately won't be ready for Birch Bay. (I'm also working on my other Pantera for my son). The roof scoops contain an engine oil cooler and a radar detector and are made by me as well as the rear wing, side window scoops, 180 exhaust, chassis bracing, and all the "custom" body work. All winter projects. I've owned the car for about 25yrs or so. The exhaust is being modified yet again, for something completely different. Will add pics when finished. The rear deck opens electrically from my car alarm. I can open it from a distance (great at car shows as no one knows who's car it is) or I can open it as I drive into a car show from a toggle switch inside the car. Great for that "wow" factor. The rear upper A-arms are modified for better adjustment for the 345's. The water tanks have been moved to the back for better access although I don't use water any more. I've use Evans coolant for about six years. There is a camera mounted on the rear transaxle and a monitor on the dash for when I back into my garage (missed it once and took my mirror off!), or I can put the camera anywhere on the car if I suspect a problem and drive and watch the screen or record (it has audio too) onto a vcr and watch later in the comfort of my living room. Great if you just can't pinpoint where a sound is coming from.......The Webers have been on the car for about 22 yrs and I synchronise them about every five years. I live at sea level so most of my driving is down low.

Thanks for the run down Steve. Great car! Amazing, I still would like to see more.

Yes...Please...MORE!

Pics are nice, but free rides are even better!

Steve,
As much as the pics would be appreciated, how about a full blown P.I. article?
