I kinda figured we'd be a bunch of muscle car fans!
zfett - I e-mailed you off list with some information, did you get it?
It's nice to see that we've got such a diverse group of enthusiasts, I guess that it doesn't really matter if it's Ford, GM, Mopar or any other type of car, as long as it's fun to drive!
I've seen some other groups that are so prejudiced when it comes to their cars, it's nice to be associated with such a great group!
Thanks guys (& gals).

1923 Sunbeam motorcycle. Jaguar XJS, soon to be joined by a fully restored 1962 Jaguar Mark 2 3.8 in metallic gunmetal gray with red leather. Ooooooh. I'm not really a guest, my user name is panteraman500 (UK) but the system says I don't exist. Strange.

I'll start it out - I've got a '70 Trans Am (almost show worthy), an '81 BMW M535i (E-12 Euro) & a '74 Fiat X 1/9 (don't laugh, I love that car!), but the Fiat needs restoration.
OK, what do YOU have?

pantera874 - is your targa a Pavesi? There was one for sale in Florida a year or two ago that I was lusting after. It was finished in that paint that changes color when viewed from different angles. I don't know if I would have kept it that way or not, either way, a VERY cool car!

Ha Ha, another person with a biturbo. If yours is running, that makes two on the planet that are running that I know of. Nice bang for the buck�when they are running. Love the 89 & 90 spiders.

72 Pantera, 1964 pro street El Camino (900 HP), 68 Big Block Convertible Camaro, 68 Big Block Camaro Coupe, 84 Jag that I converted to 1994 Fuel injected LT1 350. I also have a 1960 Ford Country Squire Wagon. I believe I have a total of about 13 vehicles. I think I need counseling.

Besides my 72 pre-L, a 1971, pro-street Ranchero w/ stroked 429....1996 Explorer w/ H.O. 5.0 supercharged Mustang engine....2003 Jag XK8 conv......1999 H.D. Road King.....and tons of spare parts, engines, tools.......

In my garage? About 16 vintage ski-doo snowmobiles that if all were sold, would finance a nice restored pre-L Pantera; also piles of related parts and stuff taking up room. also, a '74 Honda CT70 , a GTX Sea-doo and a new pocket bike! I used to have a '70 383 Dodge Charger, but at the time, being a poor university student, sold it and bought an '80 Toyota Corolla, ouch! I recently had a '89 5.0 L Mustang coupe but sold that when my daughter got her drivers licence and did a donut pulling out onto a street. I will sell off most of the vintage snowmobiles and put a DeTomaso Pantera in my garage, I promise!

Hmm...what else is in my garage...

1984 VW Rabbit ITA Race car.
