New Calgary Enthusiast

Hi Rick,

I hope you do decide to add a Pantera to your garage. You already know the joys of power behind your back and you will definitely enjoy a Pantera. If you'd like to e-mail me (pantera01826-AT-rogers.com), I will forward your contact details to some other owners in western Canada who may be able to help you locate a car. Good luck!

Mark, thanks for the reply! I'll e-mail you my contact info. I probably would have had a Pantera first, but wasn't able to find one, and got into the P cars, but the Pantera bug is back!

Rick

Well at least you have a wing on the back, Rick, but that colour? That isn't white, is it?

The 911 is "arrow blue"

Welcome aboard Rick.
My wife was born in Calgary, that's where we met, and her parents still live there.

Love the color of your 911,,, Blue and black are the only colors to have

I can see why you like the blue! Arrow Blue appears very close to Grabber Blue (Ford), is that what your Pantera is painted in?

Rick

Thanks Coz. I am pretty sure I would take AZ over Calgary, around January, February.....

Hiya Rick,
Good to see another western Canada enthusiast. I live in Victoria and would be delighted to help you in any way should you find a car out this way. My email is panteraturbo@shaw.ca .Good luck with the hunt and hope to meet up with you at some Pantera event in the future.

You guys mean baby blue.

It's all over my kid's room

Welcome aboard, Rick.

Rick,
Were planning a take the kids there to see their grandparents and 2 uncles in the not distant future, say in touch, maybe we get together while we're there.

We have been talking about moving to the Vancouver area maybe in the next couple of years. Elaine being Canadian would make it easier citizenship wise for the family.

I know you would perfer it here in the winter months, but take my word for it, from late May to September, it's hotter than hell could ever be here in Arizona.

Nice Porsche by the way, have had several myself. Sold my 911C4 in 2000 to get my Pantera. Planning on keeping this one...

Mines not grabber blue , its a little darker. Maybe French Blue. OR "Blue right past JK's car,, Blue"

FRENCH Blue???

lol

I guess, I had the paint matched and the paint man said its not really a grabber blue, to dark to be grabber,, he use french blue, what ever that is. ????

Rick:

I will be in Calgary with my car a number of times this coming season. Perhaps we could hook up if you are interested.

I know three Alberta Pantera owners that I could refer you to, including one based in Canmore who just purchased his car. Being fresh off the hunt, the new owner might be able to give you some advice about finding a car locally.

BTW, what model year and variant are you looking for? John Scotti in Montreal has a nice (rare) GT5 for sale, if that would interest you.

If you want to get in touch, send me an e-mail at [my initial]havlik[at]pris.ca

The P cars seem popular in Calgary, must be all that oil money!!

Can't speak to loudly, I actually work for one of those oil companies head officed in Calgary I'm just down in Reno for a couple of years doing Tech Development, so there's a good chance #7024 will be joining the Northern contingent at some point in the future.

Peter,

At this time I am just looking for a solid car. Pretty open as to the actual model of Pantera.

I would be happy to meet with you when you are in Calgary.

Rick

Joules,

Reno eh? Make sure to take in the Air Races there if you can, I think I have been to that 5 times, love the big engines! Merlins, 3350's etc.

Calgary is exploding these days, by the time you get back, you won't recognize it.

Rick

Hi Rick,
I recently, Oct 05, puchased a 72 pre-L from Moncton NB. I live in Canmore. I know of one other Alberta owner and have heard of three other P's in Calgary.
