Pantera #2321 - Seafoam Lime Green

One more question being new to the club and the process here. How can I find information regarding the ownership history of the car. I know the car was sold in November of 74 but I have reason to believe that he may not have been the original owner. The last owner was named Dennis Littlefield (have searched his name unsuccessfully on the internet) and he was in Franklin Ohio. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. My email address is thehardings@woh.rr.com. Thanks - Brady

A gentleman by the name of Bill Van Ess assembled a Pantera registry and published it in 1994. Responses to attempts to assemble Pantera registries has always been less than enthusiastic, Bill ran into this in assembling his registry as well. But he put a lot of effort into collecting as much data as was available at the time.

The Bill Van Ess (BVE) registry is my main source of history for these cars. Unfortunately, the registry has no data for your particular Pantera.

Looking at data for cars with chassis numbers on either side of your car, I can tell you it was built in January of 1972, and is therefore a 1972 model.

Welcome to the Pantera family, and welcome to the Pantera International Forums. Best of luck with your resurrection of 2321.

Chuck Melton has devoted a lot of effort in researching Pantera history too. He might be able to figure it out. He has a web site that has a lot of cars registered and stuff. You might see if he knows anything.

I am in the process of resurrecting 2321 and have brought it back to the original Seafoam (lime green). I know this is controversial but it looks great if I say so myself. Does anyone know the number of vehicles painted in this color?

I am not sure that "seafoam" was used to describe the original Lime Green color, but my car and Mike Dailey's (as I recall) were originally Lime. Mine is 1826 and his is 1887.

My car is now white, but here's what was under my engine bay undercoating.

and what the outside would have looked like:

#1959 was painted like this originally....I discover that under the orange I bought it in was some yellow paint..and under it, what a I considered horrible LIME GREEN!!!! Aghhhh!!!!

I love da lime green, but this is coming from me being a prior owner of an orange Pantera . I always thought the lime green would look great with some nice 18" wheels.

That's what I was thinking... some nice rims, lowered... black out all the trim...

I feel any color Pantera can look tuff, just needs the right stuff

The posting by Mr. Charlton is accurate for the color. The tag under the radiator calls it Verde with a ppg # (don't have it at my disposal right now). The color is horrible inside under incandescent light - but outside I think it looks very cool. I still have a lot of work to do but its getting there.

BHarding....Verde, both in Italian and Spanish stands for....GREEN!!!


Does200...yep,my Orange was/is terrible...going back to green, Jaguar metallic green...let's see how it develops....in fact I fall in love with your burgundy car, Im using it as a model in my G4 conversion!!!!
