I am not impartial, obviously on this car. It is a good buy for what it offers. The main reason it has not sold yet are the Weber carbs. Most of the people who have been interested are timid of them, which is not unusual. I have run Webers since 1980 and have had a very good experience with them. However, I use Augie Delgado to tune them and he makes them run sweet. Every two years I have him tune them up, which costs about $250-300. Dave
Thanks for all of the replies. I called PIM and they told me that the previous owner did a "rebuild" but weren't sure what he did as there were no receipts. Also, the "restoration" was a repaint with new carpets and seat covers.

It's on consignment, so it's not a knock on PIM in anyway. As I said, I'm waiting for some more info from the actual owner.

Has anyone taken a good look at the car recently? I wouldn't mind some firsthand and unbiased opinions if they are available.

Thanks,
LS
What's not so comforting is that the way the ad is worded. Usually, restoration means it was disassembled and rebuilt to an extent and there is some level of documentation (written or pictorial) to validate it.

I wouldn't call a paintjob,carpets and seat covers a resto personally. Also, there are no receipts for any of the engine or mechanical work.

The ad info is most likely from the owner as PIM has a great reputation. They were very helpful.

At this point, I think you'd want to arrange for a full inspection to make sure there aren't any other suprises.

Exactly my point with my first post on the PIM car you're interested in. Here's what I posted:

"I think if the car had a full strip down restoration and expensive receipts from an engine builder, the price would be at least $20K higher than the $37K he's asking..."

Except the Hall car sold for $71K. Definitley on the top scale of selling prices.

Good luck.

I'm with you.

LOL!!

I think the fact that there's so much Pantera variety out there, it makes it difficult. Just decide on what type of car you want, and wisely go after it.

Best wishes with your Pantera search!!
