Say hello to Serge. Our Montreal crew just went to say hello and see his new project. It was freezing cold, but the was a warm glow in our hearts as we remembered our early days with our cats.
Serge just got this red ’71 from Tennessee (after losing out on the bidding for the white one that Coz is now building for Michel in Belgium). Serge has already started work on the motor and ordered a bunch of parts to start the restoration. Judging by the two gorgeous Porsches in his garage – both completed in the past couple of years - we’re sure this will be one slick Pantera when its done.
I was talking to Steve Wilkenson a few days ago, trying to get a gasket added to a shipment going to Marc C in Ottawa. He said I was too late, that it was already gone, but he had a shipment leaving that day for a guy in Montreal. How crazy is that? A Pantera owner in Montreal that we never heard of! I got his number and we had a nice chat. So today, on a beautiful but freezing, sunny Sunday, Carmello, Gaetano, Michel, Normand and I had a great ride 20 miles off the island to meet our new friend.
He’s a knowledgeable builder and is planning on a GT4 look. He figures the restoration will take him a couple of years, But now that he’s seen our cats and the fun he’s missing, he might push it up a little.
We’re already taking bets it might be ready before Bohdan’s.
