Jim, you autocross? How cool. I can't wait until the day I get to take mine to the autocross.

Oooh, lala!! Top Pantera!

Once in California, now on the roads of Switzerland.

This thread was an AWESOME idea!

Thanks,
Ron

Here's our old Road Warrier...driven anywhere, everywhere, anytime. I have more fun with our Pantera than you can imagine. Still a thrill everytime I drive it. The Pantera is everything I ever hoped it would be. More smiles per gallon than any other car on the planet

DeTomaso did also crash tests.

There are about 64 posts, but only about 5 show. Is there some way of getting to the other posts?

I think you are not clicking on the Page numbers at the very bottom of the page to advance to the next posts. If not, let me know. Dave

Shotgungrooms, that is a beautiful blue Pantera, but you probably already know that. Grabber?

Thank you DOES 200
Yes, I think it is Grabber,,, Did'nt think I'd have a Blue Pantera, when I was looking it was all Red and Yellow cars,, Then mine came along and I could'nt pass it up, But now I really do love the color, It won the Best Paint Trophy and Drag Race Runner up Trophy P.I Motorsports show/ Endless summer party two weekends ago. I Still Have The smile on my face.

Great Thread. No two cars the same! Clearly the Pantera is a great vehicle for self expression!

here is my car 1987 GT5S u

#9178 Front View

My 1971 Push Button Pantera, my 1975 Convertible Corvette and my 1961 Jetboat. I just bought the Pantera Sept 22, 2004. The Corvette is under cover getting ready to sell it and the Jetboat (Ford 272ci Y-block) is being overhauled.

This is my 1972L hope you like.

Hey George, what sort of magazine did you find that picture in
This thread is 2 years old?
I like the wheels on r mccall's car.
Here is a pic of my car sat at the dock down in Plymouth. I had just got back from Le Mans 2005. The car is filthy but the camera lies. I like the wheels more with a coat of break dust. Maybe I will paint them a darker silver next time.

I never tire of looking at these cars!

That was a "photoshop" rendering. I am still searching for a color. I like yours. What color/silver is it?

George,

Those 2 GR4 cars ..wow ... is that a gas cap in the hood ..I was thinking of that idea.

That new Mustang is a monster compared to the Pantera. The roof barely goes up as high as the bottom of the window! heheheheh

my car isn't as impressive as many of yours but what the heck. Here is mine next our 68 Camaro.

Hey Panteradreamin - that's the first one I've seen on the board in that colour.

It appears to be the same colour as mine, is it a standard factory colour?

Rapier,
It has been repainted at some point in it's life, it was originally white. It looks good in that pic but the paint is scarred up pretty bad and I have some small rust holes in the rockers. I have a growing list of things I want to do to the car!

Here's a pic years ago before I bought my car, this is in the PI Showroom, I always liked the shot

She was just sitting there waiting for me

Great thread. I just love looking at these cars. What a bunch of beauties.

I was just thinking the same thing. I'd love to see a whole lot more photos taken in the PI showroom. I could do some serious damage to my finances in there. I think a trip is in order...

Mark,
What a difference!!! Your car looks incredible!!!!

Nice photos! Ready for take off:

Carefull how high you go with that lift! You could have a chop top Mangusta

Nice setup

My 72. Not too stock......

and another shot.....

Steve. Are you going to make it out to any of the future Canadian gatherings? I've gotta see your car. Looks incredible.
Will

Sick machine, Steve. I've seen it before but had no idea you were a Crazy Canuck. Where are you located?

I'm located in Richmond, B.C., where the Vancouver Airport is. Will, where are you located? I'm a member of Panteras Northwest and you can usually see my car at our annual "Italian Days" show in North Vancouver or at the annual Pantera show at Birch Bay Park in Wash. State with our U.S. members, as well as our big (also annual) Langley car show as well as many smaller shows around the Vancouver area. I've owned it for about 25yrs now and just recently bought a 74 in many pieces that I am restoring for my son. There's a good gathering of Panteras out west here, so if anyone is out this way, give me a call.

Do you have a website with mods/buildup listed?

I don't have a website, but here is a brief description. The engine is currently out after having two Comp Cams go flat so I went to a full roller setup (whole top end) specced out for my Webers by Mark McKeon of mmeracing.com (618 lift) (and reccomended by George Pence). The bottom end is being done by cc-racing.com. It has a Pete Jackson gear drive, roller rockers, windage tray, stainless one piece valves, reworked rods and is getting forged pistons and completely balanced. The 180 headers are made by me as a winter project as well as the roof scoops, "elephant" ears and rear wing. The roof scoops hold an engine oil cooler and a radar detector. The whole car is braced and cross braced by me (probably overkill). It has an MSD 7al 2 ignition box, Moroso oil accumulator, and Supertrapps. I am now in the process of dropping the floor pans before I get the engine back. The transaxle is safety wired, Centerforce clutch and long throw slave. The rear suspension is chromed and stock with the exception of the upper a-arms which are adjustable for the 345 Yokohamas. The front has a camber lock kit. The rear deck opens electrically from my car alarm or from a toggle switch inside the car. (great for car shows!) There is a small camera mounted on the transaxle and a screen on the dash so I can back into my garage a little easier....(after my son guided me in and I took the passenger door mirror off).....or the camera can be moved anywhere on the car and hooked to a 12v vcr and any engine problems recorded so I can see potential problems etc.....I added the flare kit a few years ago as I always wanted a wide body.

Electric mirrors are also a big help here.

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

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

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. :-)
