Pantera #5923 - 'Pur Gold' for Sale Again

Pur Gold owner and builder at the 2007 PI Holiday event with one of his friends.

George and Bud.

His Pantera was probably one of the most unique around. I got to see it a few times through the years.

This car is becoming like a bad penny. although gold instead of copper.

The car is still for sale by the same people who bought it at BJ and then had put it on Ebay. They are having an auction at their shop and have decided to include it. It did not get what they wanted on Ebay.
As a note to this. I went and looked at the car in person at is needing some attention. The paint is very nice but the gold plating is rubbing completely off on the window trims and windshield frame as well as showing wear elsewhere on the car.

Do you know when the car will be sold? Also, do you know the auction company that is selling it -- any and all details would be great for us all to know.

They are doing the auction at their shop in Escondido on April 3 and 4th. THey are having a company called Worldwide Auctioneers come do the auction for them.

Sold $55K.

It's a shame but they had severly lowered the Pantera. It looked pretty sad sitting out on display.....

I'll post pics.....

Here it is.....

Its hard to tell from the picture but due to the lowering the camber on all the tires was pretty severe.

HI, ALL. Hopefully the person who bought this car found the car of their dreams and will love it, take care of it, and drive it as it was meant to be driven / enjoyed AND not someone
just looking to try to make a quick buck, like the seller. Yes i know buy low/ sell high
etc. BUT it just kind of sucks to see a car that was so loved / enjoyed by the previous owner wind up being just another commodity
for some *****....
Just my 2 cents.

The car sits on air ride so the stance in your picture is when it is let all the way down. When it is at ride height the camber issues go away.
Hope the new owner enjoys it. That price is good for the quality of the car. It has a few little issues that need fixing but a great car.

Well it sold at BJ in January for exactly the same amount, so no profit for the 'speculator' on this one.

It actually made it up to $59,800 'reserve not met' when it was on Ebay, of course no saying it would have reached that if reserve were lower.

That's what I thought too however there no air lines or compressor visable anywhere. Granted I didn't look too hard because I wasn't really interested in how they did it-only that they did it!! In my opinion only three types of cars should be bagged.....Impalas, Cadillacs, and vintage hot rods. And then they should be done right. Camber angles like that just look like amateur hour.....

A vast majority of the cars went for very good prices considering their condition. However almost all had serious flaws. Some were downright hacked.

I had fun-especially since the Good Guys show was in town and it also was the first weekend for the Escondido Friday Night Cruises. San Diego Panteras was in full force with about eight or nine cars not to mention 100's of other car nuts. My 16 year old daughter learned the differences between the Tri 5 Chevy's and has a great start on the first four generations of Mustangs. What more could you want out of a weekend??

I guess I could have bought the '64 Impala with the 400/4 spd for $12.5........

Depends on what the intentions of the air bags are for. There are some general suspension benefits when its not intended for extreme travel.

It would be a great solution in the front for occasional speed bump clearance.
