Here's a couple, I can get better, but it will have to wait for the rain to stop.

This one makes it look like the colors don't match, but it's just the lighting.

I kind of like the wing, but I also like the clean lines with no wing at all too.
Maybe I should put a "combat" wing on it like my '99 Mitsu?


Hmm, maybe not.
I'll get some better pics of the wing.

How about some pics of the sideoiler?

These do?

Beautiful cars! I like that wing too!

Insidentally, I think the secret to tha TP engine is to run a single Holley 1050.
Be a little thankfull that the engine is a little flat under 4000 otherwise you would be changing the clutch once a month.
Did you find out what was done with the ZF gearing yet?
Does your sky look like that all of the time?

How the heck does that hood clear that air cleaner?? Is it notched???

DT, look at the pic of the bottom of the decklid, it has a Weber notch.

4DB, do the louvres rattle?

Ahhh. Thanks Doug. Didn't see it.

Hey Doug,
Thanks for the input on the TP, I had actually discused the dual quad setup with a shop in Boise. To me, the dual quad seems like more of a "gee wiz" setup. When they are tuned and dialed in correctly they kick butt. The previous owner set it up I think for more of a track car, I'm planning on street driving more than any track use. The duals actually run good on the street, I think because the taller gearing mae it a little more forgiving.
Anyway, the guy is checking into some options, but the duals are also part of what makes this car "secial", from what I gather, the 427 set-up is sort of a "signature" of Pantera Performance and Dennis Quaella(sp??). So it might e better to leave it as it was built?
The guy is building a S/O right now for a Cobra kit, so I plan to "chum up" to him for more ideas.
On the gearing, still waiting to hear from the previous owner. I have foung corispondence from Pantera Performance on the gearing options the owner had availeable, as well as the reciepts for the ZF work, but they do not list the actual ratio that was used.
We do get some cool "storm skys" don't we?

Yup, lower decklid was notched to clear. I think that is why it also doesn't have a rear trunk tub, the motor and intake extend back too far to use one without modifying the tub.
Future plans are to either find a tub and redesign it to fit, or go ahead and fab up a new tub from scratch.
The louvers do not rattle at all, they do "quiver" at idle though.
They are not like the louvers that you used to see on the 'Cudas and Camaros. They are a complete insert into the rear deck lid, they do not hinge up for cleaning underneath, they are solid mounted. Only way to clean underneath them is to remove them or use a rag on a stick.

Awesome pics, Jeff. Love the sky. What a place to enjoy a Pantera - and the rest of your collection!

Beautiful pictures! I'm looking for a half tub that sits to the rear of the car so you can still see the motor, clear lexan backing plate(that someones awesome car had recently) and handles to left it out easier....made out of carbon fiber would be nice too. velcro top cover or hinged top cover to keep the dust and dirt/rain out too. Anyone interested in buying one if fabbed up???

You must have just met Robert Shewchuk and his friend Randy. The only other Pantera owners I know in Idaho. OK I admit it Robertlives in Arizona in the winter and we just saw both of them in Vegas, and Robert called me up to tell me he just met a guy that had a Pantera with a 427 side oiler.Nice car!

Hi fourdoorbronko, could I ask about the flares and tires on your car?. I seen what look to be simular flares on the P.I site and am wondering if these are the same as yours?, and also what size of tires/wheels do you have under those flares?. thanks...btw your car looks great!
