Gorgeous - but what does the script badge on the rear say?
quote:My only question if this were brought to market is what would it do to the value of our current Panteras? Would they increase in value due to the renewed interest? Or depreciate because they will officially be outdated? I don't know if its only me, but after looking at these pictures, my car looks really old...

Panthera will be someone (Probably British)avoiding trademark violations.

You could make it work in the US if it was done as a "kit" car, kind of like the Noble. Build a tube or a monocoque(sp) frame put it all together and sell it without an engine or drivetrain. Use Ford GT transaxles or even a corvette trans set-up. The manufacturer (seller) would then have a list of authorized drivetrain installers or you could do it yourself. This way you could bypass all the required DOT inspections.
Or
Do like the all the Cobra knock-offs, have someone build a chassis, have someone else make the body panels, etc, the car would still be a 1971 - 1974 DeTomaso Pantera with updated body panels. So essentially it would be a "replicar".
Is it possible or am I just talking out of my butt?
