Make it stop!!!

I second that!!! "Tuck and Roll" covering the rear window! A FAKE blower! Mako Shark nose. Tail extended by a foot. The real killer are the wire wheels. And that paint job, AUUUUUHGG! This car has everything I never wanted to see on ANY machine, let alone a PANTERA! I must be having a nightmare I can't wake-up from! Yes! Mental Illness is all around us!

What is that wheelhouse made of? Adobe? Or did you look far enough to see the engine room?

I suppose "back in the day" it was considered a cool car,. C'mon, admit it, you had plaform shoes & a liesure suit at one time too! Let this car be a lesson to us all, if you plan on modifying your car, make sure you can undo it if you have to. It's hard to beat the original styling of these beauties!

Ha-Ha, this car looks like a PIMP in Oakland, California customized it!!

25 bids have been placed on that "vehicle", i wonder what the reserve is?

I'm up for spicing up the plain vanilla stock Pantera look...but this is ridiculous!

i look foward to buy a pantera in apx a year or so, and this one looks like a good doner vehicle for parts.

Hey!!! Cut that out.. I grew up in Oakland!! I, I, I, don't what to say...I'm at a loss for words. May we should all pitch in and buy it so we can get rid of it.

OUTRAGOUS!!! isn't that what they said.You
would think if the guy wanted to jack something up he'd use a vette like everybody
else. (CRAFTSMEN NOT) sorry have to go barf
now.I've never seen anything that ugly in
Oakland.

------------------

This car was at the Barrette-Jackson auction earlier this year. The commentators there were amused by this car too.

Hey Terry M., I grew up in Oakland too! And Joe, I HAVE seen cars that ugly in Oakland.

Hopefully Panteras wont get any worse than this. I agree with stosh that it should be kept around as a lesson to us all. Maybe display it next to some platform shoes or outrageous bell-bottoms� wait, they�re back in style� duoph!

What a beautiful car, if you're Austin Powers!!! Smashing baby, Ya!!!! Or should it be smash it baby!!??

Perhaps you have something there. Get in touch with the Austin Powers producer and see if they want it for the next movie . . . . Maybe they could stage one of those only-in-Hollywood destructo derbies and put it out of its' misery.

Only Dr. Evil would drive this car. And only then for ... you guessed it .... One MILLION dollars. muwahahahahhahha.

Saturday Night Fever meets Sanford & Son...what a waste of time.

From what I read on the DeTomaso E-mail forum, it appears that this car was built by none other than Mr. Darryl Starbird, creator of numerous '60's era custom cars. Remember the Shilloette hot wheels car? You guessed it, check out http://darrylstarbird.com/images/cars/starbird-5.jpg .

Lets try this again; the correct address is http://www.darrylstarbird.com/images/cars/starbird-5.jpg

Hey Marlin... email me.

I saw that car built at SilkyWilkys In Paramount

Just a quick update on the fate of this custom car; the car was recently aquired by Darryl Starbird's National Rod & Custom Car Hall of Fame & Museum in Grand Lake Oklahoma. I guess that Mr. Starbird is "thrilled" to have one of his creations return "home". Hey - it's a piece of our car culture history, isn't it? I'm not too crazy about it, but, to each his own.
