Wow. Nice shot, Mark!
A legend reborn.
Gorgeous Dennis, absolutely gorgeous.

Laslo's new black Pantera above looks simply smashing!

Dave, I'm seeing the start of an annual PI calendar here. Some great shots. Lets have some more!
Mark,
the calendar idea is brilliant. I second that idea!
Not bad for a guy with a white..........
Nah, never mind!
George LOL

Yes, a calendar is long overdue!

Yeah, I'd love to have one with "normal" owners cars. Are any of us normal???
Dennis, the last time normal was applied to me, I think they were talking about hair loss!

Great idea, but how in the world would we ever decide what cars to show on the calendar?
One per month is certainly not enough and one per day would be quite a task. So I guess we could feature a different Pantera for each week.
Wait, I can almost see it. George on the cover, one killer cat at the top of each month, and four or five beauties at the bottom of each months page.

Don't forget babes! Yeah Pantera's and Pantera babes!
I vote for George on the cover ONLY if he's in a bikini!

Who's bikini? One of the babe's bikinis?
I could handle that! I wouldn't mind getting into a babe's bikini. Yeah, sounds OK to me.

OK guys, lets get back on Dave's topic, the Pantera as Art. Post more pics. After all this is the DeTomaso photo gallery.
(The calendar is a good idea, Dave, what do you think? We could start another topic about a calendar if there's enough interest. I think it would sell well, and not just to PIBB members, but on ebay to non owners as well. There's many people who admire the Pantera. My 2 cents.)

Getting back on topic . . . . how's about a calendar??? I think more than 12 cars would be nice, I hate waiting a year to display 12 cars!
Maybe POCA should do one for a fund raiser, funding to be used for the Vegas event either for new stuff or off setting other costs for members?

Dennis,
POCA does one, and for $35, I felt the quality of the pictures could have been alot better.
PI, if you do decide to do one (and we all hope you do), please do our Panteras justice with the quality of the printing! Thanks.

I passed on the POCA calendar.... Wasn't it 6 months into the year before it was printed and delivered?
Instead, I bought the Swedish calendar! TWO THUMBS UP!!!

Wow! $35.00 for a calendar? As big a fan of the car as I am, I don't think I'd shell out that much for a calendar!
That's a great picture, Dennis!
There's certainly no view around here like that. It must be great living in paradise!

Everything's great about living here, ocean, mountain, people are friendly. . . . BUT . . .
Being a Pantera owner is a BITCH! Shipping for parts kill us! Cost of living is really high too! Oh yeah, did I mention the $3.60/gallon gasoline? I filled up this weekend, $30 got me about 1/3 of a tank!
Oh well, the price of paradise!

The best pictures I've taken of my Pantera so far:
Wow, great shots!
It's gorgeous Chris, you've got a beautiful car.
you were looking for mirrors a while back, are those the new mirrors? Whether or not, I like them, they're not too big, they fit the proportions of the car nicely. The paint looks beautiful in the pic, I like the blacked out trim too, something I want to do with 6018 someday.

beautiful Euro GTS my friend
Black can be a menacing color, a "classic" color, or a color that implies understated wealth. I see a bit of all 3 in your car.
Henry Ford said you could have a Model T in any color so long as it was black.
I like the little fender flares the GTS cars have, gives the body a more flowing, sensuous look. Beautiful.

Yes, those are the new mirrors and I am very happy with them. They are the same style as the "Vitaloni California" mirrors, but MUCH higher quality. A+
Here's the link to them, if anyone happens to be looking. They're at the top right, called "Carolina" mirrors ($69 per pair):

Thank you George. That is a nice thing for you to say. Especialy after I have been so mean to you. If I was a btter man, I would give you my car to make up for my bad behavior. But I am not nearly that good. I am keeping my car, even though I will feel badly about it. Right up until the time I next drive it.
Flawless! Great angle. Is this the Arizona car with the Recaro seats? Can you post more pictures in and out? Thanks.

Bright colored car with changing of colors background, beautiful!
You know there are a few cars which have nailed the style. The red one with the black trim is one as well as the black one on the last cover. I like the black trim on the red car as well as the darker tan leather.
Dennis, what does 4NFord stand for?

comp2, I like Dennis's plate. I think it's "Foreign (4N) Ford".
Got it, I am a little slow some times. I have an 8N ford tractor and I couldn't help but think of the Ford 4N tractor.

Gary,
I can understand comparing a Lamborghini to a tractor (Lamborghini started out building tractors before cars), but a Pantera?
To use a Pantera to plow a field would certainly be doing it in style!

That whole Lambo thing is funny. He knocked on Ferri's door and tried to tell him some problems with his cars. Ferrari told him what does he knw, he works on tractors. Then Lambo decided it was time to build a Super car himself and out do Ferari. LOL. Got to love a man who put's his money where his m,outh is!

Hey Pope,
I agree with Mark M
Your Pantera is Bitchen!
by the way, I don't remember writing so before, it's good to have you aboard the DTBB.

Your car would look perfect with a Wing!
Interesting tubing going into your valve covers.
Nice ride.

Wing this . . .
The car photographs well . . . but you know how it is - there's always 27 things to upgrade.
Once you go to Vegas and see a LOT of cars, you'll understand.
Happily without wings or chains . . . .

Been to Vegas seen lots of cars. Yours seems to have a nice balance, Im not sure the list of wants ever end. But your car looks like it has everthing it needs to be fun and show well.
Haha.
If you can take it out and play with it anytime you want . . . its alway going to be fun.
I guess it isn't always this clean though . . .
drive safely!

Not exactly Pantera specific, but I love this shot of my car and a friend of mines Countach. Believe it or not this photo was not staged. It was taken in 2003 on the Seattle pier for the Seattle Italian Concours. We left for dinner and came back to load up with no other cars around and a photographer caught the moment.
Ron,
that IS a very cool photo!
George

Nice wheels, Pope. I'd love to see them in person.
Charlie,

Yes, it is my car in negative, with some other effects thrown in. I was playing with Photoshop, seeing what each option did when I stumbled upon the result you see here.
I had a copy made up as an 8x10 which I hung on my Pantera Wall because I like how it came out...

Yep. Anti-wing, anti-chain.
However, YOU may do as you like on your car.
You won't see a wing on mine until I can go fast enough to lift the back wheels off the salt!
The Pope, wings are for birds and trailers are for boats, at the Vatican

That looks almost exactly like my car Deeb. You know, my car would look great if I could pinstrip highlight it just like what you have shown. I think those accent lines make it look great. You and I have the exact same wheels and tires too.
I'm sure I have some pics of your car somewhere - but go ahead and post some here or email me at dberman@canspan.com
Nice car! Are those Hall Ultra 17s with Michelin Pilots - they don't look like mine?
Yep, they are Hall Ultras with Dunlop Sport 8000s. I think they do look a lot like yours. What kind are yours??
Yeah I think mine are like yours except they got some kind of blacked chrome that make it look like spokes, but if you ignore the color thing mine look like that.
Beautiful Steve!
