SOLD! Letting 7087 go... love the car, but did everything I wanted, time for something new!

A ton of details except the most important part of any purchase. 

Which is?

I forgot dollar sign!

@Riley I was expecting to see you post an over optimistic price.  I think you are in the range in the current market for a car that nice.  If no one on here grabs it, I would try Bring a Trailer.  Good luck. 

Very nice Pantera! The price is VERY reasonable too! A late ‘74 with right hand park wipers. Good luck with the sale. What’s next?

Thanks. I have a long list of cars I want to own, so it's kind of which one of them  on the list presents itself. Ferrari 355/575/599, 2nd Gen Viper, Vantage/Vanquish, 65 Riviera, 68 Charger, Lotus Esprit Turbo, 77 Trans Am...

Thanks. I know there's a long wait for BaT, and not sure I have the patience for all the keyboard mechanics that often fill the comments, ha!

I know #7087 very well, this is an outstanding example with no shortcuts taken. Looks great, drives great, and needs nothing other than a new, loving owner. If I didn't own #9193, I'd definitely buy this car. A car like this for under $100k is a bargain IMHO.

@dobiecat - Agreed, a car in this condition under $100K is a fair deal for all parties!

You do better this way that the chaotic online sites..like BAT.

I know I’d get more for it on there but the wait and the hassle aren’t  worth it to me.

It's a great looking car and would be hard to replace and I say that as I fear you will be disappointed with most of the list of cars you want to own and ultimately regret the sale as so many Pantera owners do.

I know I already will. Just incentive to get to place where I can afford to buy another and the other cars I’ve had over the years… Grand National, NSX, DeLorean, GTR, C8… would like to own all of them again!

Sell them all get a Superbird.

Haha, that one is not on my list!

I know this car and Riley well.  In fact, it was through this forum about 4 years ago that I met Riley when he was thinking about buying a Pantera.  He turned out to live just a few blocks away and I had just gotten my'72 back from restoration/modification, so I invited him over to try it for a day.  After about a half hour, he came back and said he had to start looking for one.  As I recall it took about 3 months to find the right car.  This car is gorgeous and has had all of the typical issues corrected and improved.  And I've driven the car with the power steering and my 70 year old body really appreciates how good it makes the driving experience.  Every Sunday for the last 3 years or so, we meet and go out for a drive and/or a car meet.  This is as good an example as it gets.

I remember that!  That was a very gracious offer.  But you made a Pantera disciple!

I like all the cars on your list Riley, however I fear none will provide the excitement and presence of the Pantera.  But, some prefer to sample them all rather than sticking with one.  Nothing wrong with that, as long as we're talking cars and not wives! 

Riley's, Greg's (Dobiecat), and my Panteras at a recent breakfast spot after we attended Supercar Sunday in Woodland Hills recently.  Riley's in the center, Greg's on the left, and mine on the right.
