You think you would buy more if they were cheaper? Then let's look at the other side now you need a much bigger garage and while you're gettig that the misses wants a bigger house to go with it and that means more property taxes, more insurance for the buildings, more cars to insure and that means more bills to pay and less time to enjoy, almost like winter up here less time to enjoy, sure wish it was spring Rob6145
I looked at your pics and agree that this would be a steal at that price. Help reduce crime in your neighborhood. Cover your car and get out of the garage for a week or two!

Dennis,
Cover it up in the garage & forget it awhile, It won't be long before you miss it and pull it out for a spin & enjoy that true treasure unlike all other's " You happen to own "!

Sorry, my missus must be trained better than yours. Also, I have two open slots in my garage right now...

Obviously as a potential Pantera buyer you want the best bang for your buck, but as a family of owners we want to ensure one of our members obtains full value for his car and not because it affects the value of other cars (as they are all unique anyway), but because we care about that individual.
I'm sorry everyone. I must have Puritanical views.
I never understood the relationship between a masochist and a sadist.
I just presumed that they are still not considered normalities. I need to remember that political organizations probably do exist to promote their recognition and acceptance into society as just your average next door neighbors.
I just refuse to beat the masochist when they demand it. I must be old fashioned I guess. I have to try to get over that stuff.

Yea, that seems low to me, except for a take it "right now" price. How is the interior & engine & restoration specs, paint condition? Just advertise it broadly on many internet sites (especially the European ones) and list all the specs. Go to the Irvine Coffee & Cars too, with a sign on the seat...lots of guys there with $. Hope you can keep it thought, I like the bumperless cars. You can also look around and see what other Panteras look like in the $35 - 45 range...not much real good in that range from what I have seen. Someone in Europe will snatch it up, all the cars are going there now. My orange Pantera sold easily no questions asked to a German dude, and is now in Germany being sold for lots more $. Still sorry I sold it but the wife said 4 is too much, and it needed paint in my opinion as well. If your paint is good, ask a nice price. Painting a car correctly these days is huge money.
I'm sorry but I have to add my 2 cent's. I do think that your price is too low. I have had 5 mustangs one was a 68 GT with a 390 with a C6 and it was fantastic car. I had a 73 Corvette that was good and a 74 Camaro (a pos) I have to say that my 74 Pantara kicks but. I do love Mustangs but I'll take a pantara any day. I personally am sick of seeing the price that mustangs are bring, even if they are GT 350's I think a Pantara will blow it away. I think that a car's price should be based on it's performance and rarity and maybe some day BJ will appreciate our cars as much as we do. Again don't get me wrong I do love mustangs, I'm sure I know every nut and bolt of 65-68 stangs but I really love my Pantera.

I have 2 good friends that right now are actively seeking newe sports cars to have. They are both about 50 and are in the sweet spot for Pantera ownership. They were both considering Panteras but here's the rub, once you get about $35000 you're a starting to compete with things like Z0-6s, Vipers and 930s. Have you seen how cheap 928s are? You really have to want a Pantera because those others are much better cars on almost every level. I drink the Pantera Kool Aid every day but it's been pointed out to be that I would have been much better off getting one of those other cars. The BJ stuff has nothing to do with out cars. Look around at how many bargains there are in fantastic cars on places like Craigslist. I always thought most of the expensive Panteras that are sold are the second or third Pantera that a guy has. A mover-upper. I like the fact that their reasonable. Hasn't historically a used Pantera always slotted price wise right below a Corvette?

First sorry for highjacking the thread.....I'm in this same boat. I had this discussion with myself many times and have seriously considered a Porsche, specifically the 928 GTS. Awesome car with awesome handling etc etc. But what sells the P car for me is no smog and I can do with it what I want. Its more of a "tuner" exotic car. Try modifying a 928. Porsche people will look at you like you have three eyeballs. P car guys embrace the different. They expect it. If your friends just want the same car as Joe smith then they should consider the Vette, Viper, or Porsche. I want someone to look at my car sitting by the curb and think "Wow what kind of car is that?" Then when I fire it up they think "Holy S*&% what kind of car is that!!!?!?" Won't get that with any Porsche, Vette, or Viper for $50k.

Tell your 50 y/o buddies that those cars are nice and the thing to go with if they don't want to draw attention to their car. Drive any of those into a gas station and see what happens, but drive a Pantera in and "instant car show", people come a running out of the woodwork and down the street. Then in 5 years the new models overshadow their purchase and their car will get even more lost in the woods. But good point you make nonetheless, those are nice cars, almost went with a Vapa myself, but sure glad I didn't.

Huh?
Maybe to drive to work, listen to the radio and take on a trip in nice comfort without any fear of reliability.
But really, I've driven them all and there is no comparison. Fun factor? Doesn't that count? Forget impressing the masses, it's nothing compared to what happens when I put my foot down hard. The pure insanity of the explosion behind my ears and the adrenaline that kicks in when your eyeballs fall into the back of your head and all else goes fuzzy and almost out of control.
Please, those are nice cars but I can't hear them over my cell phone and although they will outperform on certain track conditions they don't come close on the street.
And like most of those prancing horses and raging bulls they simply aren't that much fun to drive.
After all these posts, we forgot about Dennis? Car sold? 
Car is not sold, and I am not in a hurry to sell, but if it goes it goes... And thanks to everyone who has commented.
