Hi All,
Thought I'd share a pic of my 1750. I'm just very happy to finally own a Pantera. Big thanks to other forum members for your help in my quest! Particularly Ron(PanTTera) & Peter (Morion).
I've already put the forum information to good use. The car is solid and rust free, but it had couple of bugs to work on to make it actually driveable, starting with clutch and battery. Fixed the heater operation and leaks as well, and still need to look at the AC and rear wheel bearings.
The engine does smoke when cold, so one more on the list for long term. Maybe valve seals or clearances, or it sucks oil from pcv at high vacuum with choke on...
And I was surprised how solid it's to drive, with no squeeks and rattles being used to vintage Mustangs. Not to mention how much fun on twisty roads. And it's just timelessly cool in every way
