Ring Brothers Pantera

Nice job regarding the ability to change photo color. Is that utilizing easily accessible software?

However, I prefer the yellow/gold

Thanks! Despite being here in Wisconsin (thus Green Bay Packer region), I don't care for their color choice of green and gold. I much prefer the red.

But IMHO, it would have looked more authentic to have left the WI license plate it's original yellow color, if that was possible.

Edit: Just saw JTP's post. Each to their own, eh?

Indeed, no offense taken. My other Pantera is yellow. So I'm biased. Or rather, I had an opportunity to vote with my pocketbook previously and choose yellow.

much better !! the red...

Not chore about the color, red or yellow, but on the red version the rearfenders are bigger around the wheels ! Looks a lot better. Just my opinion.

Kjeld.

it was done in photoshop ... just for fun and to see it with a fat butt!

Nice!

I would love to see what it looks like with the bottom blacked out.

I really like the wide-body. Red is also awesome.

bottom blacked out ... not as nice ...

Hard to tell from just one angle. What about not on the body but just blacked out on the rockers and the rear?

5 min edit was all I had time for. How about:

Yeh that's a bit better

I can't remember, but anyway my wheels won't fit on any other car, I made a mistake with the offset and I had to widen the already wide GT4 flares.

They are 18x14 and 16x19.5

I hope you meant 16x9.5......
Can you give us the onfo for who built your wheels?
Your car is one of my favorites.

Thanks...John

thanks, yeah 16x9.5 at front, Dragway in Australia made them ...

Matt Farah / Smoking Tire review of the Ring Bros Pantera.

Pantera review starts around 27:50 to 44:30

Great review by Matt, someone let him drive a dropped floorpan car with a little more HP. he was impressed by a restored car.

I'm also partial to the red. The tail end shape lends itself nicely to the extractors.... I like it.

Looks like the Ring Brothers pantera is going across the block with no reserve at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale next month.
If this is your kind of car, I bet it will go for a fraction of what it cost to build.
Hopefully I'll get a good look at it when I'm there.

Doug M

i bet the car sells for between $125-150k...

Anybody knows any Update on this one?




Kjeld

Believe the auction starts tomorrow.

Ok.

Just corius, to know Haw High the Price go.



Kjeld

It's being auctioned on Saturday, towards the end of the day.

There's no reserve !

Too bad its going to Barrett. Panteras usually go for scrap at that auction. But this one is unique, so who knows. Nice job on the renderings, but either way, the car build just looks a bit thick & heavy to me. Maybe is better in person rather than photos.

Unmodified examples bring the biggest $ typically. Even if the mods are done well and improve the car.

Just stating what everyone already knows.

Interesting bend on the shift lever of the yellow one...

That bend just makes me laugh ha ha

the red ....$123,200.00
the yellow...$55,000.00

I guess I should repaint my car.....

Well - maybe not.

I'm not a fan of the Ring Brothers heavy handed modification.

I think we need to hear opinions for right or wrong. Otherwise we will all turn into politicians and sit on the fence while we quietly stick daggers in each others back.

Any other Panteras selling for ~$300K these days? Maybe we have a new blueprint! :<)

What would a car forum be without opinions? Especially when the owner doesn't reside here, and never will because that car morphed into something else.

There are ways to give your opinion without bashing someone's car.

As far as not residing here, it wasn't that long ago where a bunch of folks got on a bandwagon on how ugly a car was and lo and behold, the owner was a member. So yes, it does happen.

Share opinions yes, but in a constructive way...

By the way, that car is a PANTERA. It is unmistakable! It morphed into exactly what the owner wanted as a tribute to her husband that couldn't finish it do to his death!

Obviously the folks that are stock lovers won't like it. There are plenty of people that do like it (maybe not the interior)...
