Looking for a RHD Pantera or any information on Right Hand Drive Conversion would be much appreciated. I'm from Australia possibly looking to import a LHD Pantera. I need to know what rack can used for the conversion, preferrably with power assist. Also RHD dash etc. Any info would be great, thanks, Tony

RHD steering racks are not available, unless Roland Jaeckel in Germany can retool his reproduction unit for RHD. Try a search here on the PIBB there was some discussion previously on RHD conversion.

A few are trying power stering conversions, but I don't know of anyone that has a successful conversion yet.

There is an Australian delivered (ex Targa Tasmania) Pantera for sale for AUS$85K on www.carpoint.com.au. With the general cost of RHD drive cars (most in the UK so GBP pricing), then shipping and import duties to Australia, I'd say that looks like a pretty attractive buy. Plus it is an original Aus car with some historical aspects to it.

Good luck in the search

I have heard of Cortina racks being used in RHD panteras.
Just drive it LHD !! I do it's a ball of fun !

From other Aussie owners, the Ferrari 308 rack comes in rhd and fits the Pantera well. There are no power steering racks that fit, nor are they needed if you have front wheels with the proper scrub-radius such as 8" Campys.
