Let’s see some Pantera pics!

My Dad's car, purchased in late 1971 from Hernandez LM in Hayward, CA. This car was on display at the San Francisco Car Show that year.

Here's one of mine from the Italiano Concorso

And another

Steve, it has been WAY too long since I have seen your car. You better have it back on the road for Langley this year. I dont know if I can take any more excuses. Your car looks great on the display Rapid. Looks like a lot of hard work paid off.

Blaine

here are more recent pics of my car, I never see another here as I believe it is the only Pantera in Ireland bar one undergoing restoration

another

one more

1972 DeTomaso Pantera #2886. This car will be for sale this Spring (As soon as the salt is washed from the roads up here in Minnesota. More pictures at www.flickr.com/photos/dakelm/

Doug, are you moving beyond the Pantera hobby?

George,

It's more a case of too many unfinished projects (427 Cobra kitcar) and not enough space! I'll still be a member of both PI & POCA and follow the internet boards, but for the moment, something has to go. Unfortunately, it's the Pantera. Really loved this car. Hopefully the next owner will appreciate it as much as I have.

Glad to read you'll still retain your ties with the Pantera hobby. We'd hate to loose you. And of course, you have our support & understanding regardless. Good luck with the Cobra.

Wow, nearly 14,000 (as in 14 thousand) views!

Mark,

I would like nothing more than for you to see my car. You have been there for me for a couple of years with help and info as I switched from my NCRS Sting Rays to the "Cat."

Although, you are a bit off the beaten path for me here in the West San Fernando Valley > SoCal...

Why don't you drive by and have a few beers with me here?

Your Buddy Dave

here's mine!! She has be painted Corvette yellow. #1447. Due to all of the Colorado blizzards, I haven't gotten to drive her since last Thanksgiving!!! And yes, I do get discounts on 50 gallon drums of yellow!

Kool thread! Here's my car #3382...

and another...

Great looking car Billy. I was in Frederick a year or so back (my wife is a civil war history buff)—great part of the country. Next time I'm there, I'll look you up (unless we meet at POCONO).

Mark

Hi Mark,

I'm performing in NY during this years Pocono event. Damn it!!! I'll make it one of these years...

Call me anytime you're in town 301-340-4857

Cheers,
Billy

Fantastic car, Billy! It looks flawless! Great job!!!!

Very nice car Billy. There sure is something to be said about a nice engine bay that still retains somewhat originality appearance without over the top Bling.

Many thanks guys. I wish that I could drive her right now but it's freak'n 4 degrees out right now - Uggggh! Come on spring!!!

You got that right!

Time for you guys to move to Vegas. It is going to be in the mid 70s today.



Robert

80 to 90 in CA the last few days, had the Pantera out this weekend

14 degrees today in the Sun in NY ... too freakin could ... I gotta relocate.

Ron

Hi Ron, if you want to relocate come up here it was only -25F with the wind chill factor. We could use the block heater as the body heater. Sure wish it was 14F up here. Rob6145

Plankton...I gotta know how you slammed that car! Tires/wheels?

:thumbs:

Hi Danny Ocean,

I purchased 3382 slammed. It wears 315x35-17 in the rear and 205x(?)-16's in the front. And yes, it's tough driving over speed bumps but well worth it everywhere else

another shot...

close up of the front tires...

another front shot

one of the rear tires...

another rear shot...

Thanks for the pics. Awesome stance! Do you have any idea how the lowering was performed? It appears to be more than removed spacers. Are the springs cut?

1972. RESTORED.

Pantera and ALL FIBERGLASS OPEL GT. WITH 514.

Danny Ocean,

I know that the spacers have been removed and my guess is that the front springs have been cut too. It's really low in the front - but there is NO tire rub - just a slight radiator rub backing out of my driveway

Billy

Way nice Billy. Not familiar with that area of MD. Did you get the car locally? I'm planning on taking mine to Carlisle for the all fords show. Mine is more on the driver end of things. :-)
