Pantera back on the Road `

Congrats John,

I sure hope we can get to see you at one of our gatherings. Fort Erie is a good long drive from where I am.

I can usually get away without a front plate because of my close proximity to Québec (which doesn't require them so cops here are used to not seeing a front plate), but you may be less lucky in southern Ontario. I have a factory plate mount that attached under the front PS bumper. Note that the one on eBay now may work on a late car, but not an early one. Hopefully someone else can offer a solution for your later car.

Come on dudes. Fort Erie's not so far. No snow yet. Let's do it one more time!

Hey John. Good to hear you got that beast running. Cant wait to see the Weber set-up in action.
Never mounted a front plate in 15 years and only 1 ticket.

David, you actually have comfortable seats and most of the rest of us don't. No chance that my ass could survive the 9-hour drive each way unless it was over a few days. Hopefully we can meet up somewhere in between next year.

Thanks all...I think the front plate really spoils the looks. I probably try the "Will" way and see how it goes. Local police here are pretty bored though so they may be looking for something to do. I look forward to seeing some or all of you next season. If you do happen to make it out here there is a great little run along the Niagara River. You may have done it when you visited the falls before but it's well worth the drive. Weber's blew me away. Car sat for 26 years and I didn't touch them and the damn things idled right off!!! Go figure...cheers...

By the way...go to youtube and search "Pantera lives again" to have a look see....

John, it looks and sounds great,
its a fantastic feelling to get them running again.
Woiuld love to see some pictures of the weber set up.
i started a small mod back in 2005, which turned into a full blown nuts and bolts resoration that has taken most of the last two years. and am now very happy to be once more behind the wheel,
enjoy your new toy.
cheers cj

Not a Canadian, but like our New Zealander friend Chris, I am quite happy you have the Pantera running again.

I think David's suggestion is bitchen ... one more run.

Congratulations John.

Congrats John,
Great to see you get the car up and running and back on the road.
Get it out for one good run before it's too late.
We had 6 inches of snow here over the weekend, which was enough to bring out the salt trucks.
I'm parked till spring.

Beautiful sunny cool day here today. No salt or snow yet. I'm heading out for a ride. Hey John, how far do you think you can go? Can you make it east of Toronto? Maybe I'll be able to arrange with some of our guys to head out for another run.

Would love to make the run but I'm still looking for tires. The ones on the car have been there since 1986 and I barely trust them to go round the block let alone to Toronto, plus they've flat spotted...soooo....I'm still looking. Want to keep the 15" Campies....they're in great shape...

Hey, I made the offer for my Toyo 295/50/15
Already in Canada
