I want to buy your Pantera project. What is your car? Your car is something that has been taking up space in your garage, barn etc for some years now. You and/or your mate started working on this some 20-30-40 years ago...perhaps you pulled the heads to convert to unleaded gas, or pulled the intake to do a swap, or you blew it up in some spectacular fashion, or pulled the transmission to change a throw-out bearing or the clutch......and you've just never got back to putting it all together again....and you figure that you won't be doing anything of the sort for a while either! I will buy your car as is. Load it up, help dig for parts, and cart it away for me to sort out and put back together again. I did it 20 years ago with my current car which came in boxes, but now it is time for something different.
That's the basic premise of my search. A car that was a nice car years ago, still basically is, just that it's covered by blankets, cat carriers, coolers, and other such garp. Not to mention a few dents from falling bicycles etc. It's not going to be a rust bucket, although the paint may be crap and the interior should still be nice, unless the mice got to it..... tires will be outdated.....gas in tank will be goo.......but largely, the motivation to put the car together is non-existent.
PCNC member for 21 years, located in Northern CA, so my search will give priority to CA locations first for obvious reasons.
Note that if you have such a car, but it suffers from "life with salty roads syndrome" RUST in other words, I will likely decline the car. My goal is not to spend another 20 years cutting and pasting a car back together. Just being real honest, not trying to get anyone's hopes up.
If you have such a project, contact me via this website's messaging feature. Or look me up in the POCA or PCNC directories. Just not posting info here due to web robots trolling for email addresses and phone numbers.
Kind regards,
