Sure Mr. Bulldog. I have a set and they are for sale. Two weeks ago they were still on my car which you can look at here...

Hey DT, did you know there are two UFO's in pic #1?
I love the wings. They're great to put the barbie on at the tailgate party.

The wing is the only thing my wife likes about the car. She says it is perfect to wrap Christmas presents on.
You are right Doug. I never noticed them before, but sure enough, those UFOs follow me around.

DT the wing is great if you have a flat tire in the front.
You can get your wife to lean on it and the front tires will come off of the ground.
You're lucky that only UFO's follow you,they probably just want to see what kind of car it is anyway. Maybe they'll race ya?
I have a little black cloud that follows me around where ever I go.

DT did you put new wheels on your car?

I put the original Campies back on. They are way cool in their own right, being the only gold ones I have ever seen. Here is a picture. I am going for the retro look.

I like the Campies also. I've got the 8/10's.
The tires are only a problem if you have to have P7's. Tires really are the least of it.
When is the last time anyone wore out a set of tires on a Pantera?

Beautiful car DT. Black is beautiful baby.

Unfortunately, age gets them before use does. Check for cracks, and look for the build date on those old tires.

FWIW..

Cracks? So what? Did you ever see what vintage racers run on? Have you ever seen the Hoosier recaps?

Thanks Doug. Yep those are the original P7s. I have a lead on some new tires though that will fit ok. They are not speed rated, but since I have never had my car over 100 mph I don't really need speed rated. Especialy now that I went back to a stock motor. Yes the old ones are dry rotted a little. Thirty years will do that to ya. Heck I have wrinkles too.

That's what the previous owner of my first Pantera told me. On the way home and two high speed blow outs later..

Just restrict the Pantera experience to your local sandwiche joint and you'll be fine with those old tires..

YES SIR!

Exactly Bob. I have no intention of becoming a racer. That is what they make video games for.

Race simulators!

Yep. that is what I am talking. Sure you don't feel the g-forces, but you don't have to trailer your car or sleep in some ratty hotel. So it is a trade off.
