lpb gets his second Pantera

I feel so inadequate. I only have one. I'm so ashamed.

I only have one Pantera and Three or Four old junk Mopars laying around. I guess a second Pantera would be better.

Lets see some pictures looks like a group 4

Seems like having one Pantera is like being an amateur, crap , I guess I will have to start working on number 2 or maybe a GT40.

Great going! Get out there and spend some money on that thing... whether it needs it or not! For that matter, just paint it for entertainment!

Congratulations. Tell us about it! If you don't cough up details, I'm making them up.

Congrats LPB. Let's see some more pics of that beast!!

Well, I dunno folks. I had 2 Panteras for 15 years. It was twice the headache of one. Constant work and never a dull moment. I ran out of room collecting parts. It was a great learning experience but I never really had enough time or money to invest in both of them at the same time.

When I finally made the move and sold the 1973 I reinvested most of the money into the 1982 and was able to have one car I could call complete - well, complete at the time. These cars are never really complete.

I do have other cars - what every Pantera owner needs - an SUV and a Cobra SVT convertible. Luxury, convenience and fun - without the major hassles.

Maybe I'm just a wus, but after 15 years, having two Italian girlfriends was more than I could handle.

Cool, looks nice. Need a closeup of that engine. Is it efi or carbs. Wish I could afford a second one. I would even settle for a Goose or a Longchamp.

Congratulations Bill. Usually I like to argue with DEEB, but in this case he makes a solid point. One thing that helps make the task more manageable is to lower your standards like I did. Now instead of fretting about nicks and scratches, I am just happy when one of them is actually on the road! Have fun and do post more pics! (and Brad, the second car SHOULD be a GT40 and the THIRD—another Pantera )

Yes, I think so too Mark, your GT40 looks bad azzzz

Thanks Brad. If you could see it in pieces in my garage with no doors, no interior and two feet off the ground you wouldn't say that! Hence my agreement with DEEB. At least I never got around to starting any of my winter Pantera projects so at least I can still drive that! Soon Bill will know!

lastpushbutton, please lets see more photo's of your new car, lucky man, tell us the story.

Thats so tuff Mark, GT40 would be my path, are you ready to sell ? I will come take it off your hands right now....

Okay, all you guys are just kidding, right? Isn't that the Pantera model that was on eBay or someplace?

I was in South Carolina a couple of weeks ago, helped Bill test drive that beast, a real tire shredder. The car is top notch, its a Quella car. Man what a ride. Glad you bought it Bill.

cowboy from hell

Yeah Man...With the likes of Does 200, 4nford,accobra, I picked her up on Ebay. It has the Hall seats, and 45dcoe webbers. I'm going to do a complete rottissore restore like comp2, and Ron. I know this is the right time to buy as these cars are only going up in value.

Webbers! You guys are a blast!

VERRRRY interesting door. It seems to be missing any form of latching system, as well as any light, rubber bumper or bolt heads. And someone went to the trouble of converting the hinge system to a single, central hinge.

Engine seems to lack an oil pressure sender and plug wiring, the inside of the decklid has some hexagonal depressions that are new to me, a very different shape and the biggest damn hinges I've ever seen.

I think someone sold you a damn kit car and you fell for it.

Good try, LPB

Ouch! Can sombody help me get this fish hook out of my cheek? I can't believe I was so sucked in (although my wife wasn't surprised at all...)

April 1st was a month ago! By the way, I have the identical car in Grabber Blue. It matches yours in every detail. Latchless door entry...uni-hinge technology...hidden wire and hose option...and the environmentally friendly closed end mufflers. My biggest beef is the solid core seats. Brutal on the butt.
We should race to see who got the better car!
Mooso

What scale is that thing, 1/24?

1:18 scale bring it on Mooso!

I got one just like it on my desk at work. That is why I didn't say nothin till now. When I tell folks about my car I use that model to show them what I am talking about.
I also got one in a box that has never been out of the box. IT makes it more valuable that way.

I've got some yellow ones, and a few red ones for sale.

Interested, give me a call.

OK, but when you do, I'm repainting mine to look like this:

What can you do for me in a Blue GT40 (photo shop) , you know the color….

We can never have enough "toys".

Here you go Brad. I think it would make a nice set... Sort of like Jan's "Collection in Yellow"
