Hi,
I'm brand new to the forum and also a new Pantera owner located in San Diego. I've been involved in collector cars for quite some time but have never owned(or driven) a Pantera. I am an enthusiast and also make my living with old cars(own a restoration shop).
I just bought this car(a white '72) last week from a woman who with her ex-husband had owned it since '76. It had sat since about '86 until about '98 when her brother a Toyota tech got it running, installed a big radiator, removed the hi-rise manifold and installed two new tires. Then it sat until my purchase. We dumped the old gas, put in a new battery and test fired it up. We'll be going clear though it to put it back on the road safely. It is a very original car; seems most of the mods were to the induction system.
I've been enjoying old posts about bumper configurations. This one has black metal bumpers. I'm going to look closer at them once back at the shop Mon. or Tues.
The last 4 of the chassis # is 42xx something as I recall. If anyone is curious I'll be double checking the vin next week also.
Thanks for this forum,
Brian Peters
