This was the car from Bensalem PA and I bid on her for a week. During the bidding, it never got up to the reserve price, although I was the "winner" of the bidding. I contacted them and went to visit today. After seeing the grin on My Missus face after she chirped the tires, I just KNEW that this one belonged at home with us. You can expect to start seeing The Missus and myself at some of the outings -- we're looking forward to it!!!!!

Well, that wasn't much of a hunt at all - more like an attack Big Grin Quick and effective.

Sounds like you did good, if your price was reasonable. How recent was all the work done? If this is all still pretty fresh, I'd put the value around $45K, plus or minus.

Too bad it is red though. Folks will think you bought one of them prancing donkey cars Wink

Welcome to the De Tomaso Family - of owners.

Thanks for ALL of the good wishes. I've waited 30 years to get this and do you know what?!?!? It WAS Worth The Wait!!!!!

As far as Christmas is concerned, I'm already getting a list together. I'm kinda leaning towards a carputer, since this has the horizontal gauges. I know where I can get a real decent pop-out monitor/TV that'll fit the space occupied by the Alpine CD player..... Heh, Heh, Heh.....

Does anyone know where I might get a parking brake that fits Wilwood brakes? I'd really love to have a parking brake on this baby. I'd hate to think about this rolling across the parking lot and tagging something. Any help would be, as always, greatly appreciated.

First off, Happy Birth Day Smiler

Secondly CONGRATULATIONS Cool

Lastly, as far as the brakes go, get it fixed! mine wasn't home 2 hours before she rolled across the parking lot Red Face
I have the same brake set up as you, and I'm running a "line lock" it mounts right where the stock e-brake arm pivots at the rear of the console.

Regards Mark

Hunter, The line lock uses the normal brake hydraulic pressure to "lock" the brakes engaged. As I understand it, illegal in some states due to the lack of redundancy. One option is to use a setup similar to what the Viper uses. Its a small caliper mounted opposite the stock location. They are available from Pantera East. For picutures, go to http://www.geocities.com/pantera_gallery/EmergencyBrake.html. If you would like more details of the install contact me at mgreen15 at adelphia.net

The Wilkensin set up should have all the brackets which would make it easy.

The line lock hand brake was in Halls catalog.
He's been dropping items by not refilling stock.
That is one of the tatletale sighns of closing down.

I don't think he is going to be around too much longer if this is an indication. He doesn't have half what he did five years ago.

LF -- they'll only think that it's a prancing donkey until they hear it -- then they'll know it's the song that can only be achieved by Detroit Wonder Metal -- Cast Iron!!!!!

Big Grin



Agreed!!!

As everyone else has said- Congradulations and welcome aboard (as an owner)! Your Pantera sounds like quite the cat!

Maybe next year -- I'll be putting a garage and an addition to the house this year.

The Missus (Cathie) and myself do plan on doing a bit of travel in it, now that the kids are almost grown.

We're BOTH having flashbacks to the times where we would head off to the beach at 11:00PM on a Friday night, JUST because we FELT like it. GAWD, how I miss those times!!!!!

Rick,

We'll need to hook up with Ron McCall from Hampstead, MD and head to the Jimmie Cone cruise-in one Saturday evening. I took my 5 year old son up there last Saturday and it was pretty packed considering it was the first cruise-in of the year. jimmie Cone is always a blast...
