Hello,
my name is Frank and Im living in the northern part of Germany. Closed to Wolfsburg. Only 3 mls away. I have a small Ford/Mopar collection, but I've actually always looked for a Pantera.
Since 2 weeks I am the owner of # 1594. Tag shows 6/71. The Marti Report is on the way. The first owner comes from LA. He changed the color after buying from original red to yellow. Car has been in operation only until1983. Then the car was sitting in a barn until 2016.
A Dutch company discovered the car and brought it to Europe, where it was restored. The Pantera was sanded down to bare metal and repainted to the original color. The engine was stuck and was completely rebuilt. Likewise the air conditioning and the brakes.
Unfortunately the side markers have been deleted... looks better but its not original.
The interieur is a 7 from 10. I tried to contact serval times Hall Pantera via mail... but no response. Does Hall Pantera will not ship to Europe? Any other sources for seat covers and carpets?
I have had good experiences Summit, Jeggs, Dantes but they have no Pantera parts..
I will keep the original rims but they need to be overhauled. So I know, that magnesium wheels are a litte bit special.
I don't really know this car, so I have a lot of questions about it. I will put these in the appropriate sections.
Many thanks in advance for your comments....
Frank
