Can I have it ?:willy:

Looks great. Did you stick with 5-speed? What about the rest of the suspension, did you use stock stuff or aftermarket? Are those Budnik wheels? Wheel/tire dimensions?

I'm still in the pantera-project-on-paper-stage. I really would like to go with 6-speed, all-alu-big-cube- EFI-motor, Wilwoods, Carbonfiber hood and trunk, those original parts are very heavy!

Any more pics? :thumbsup:

Love the car
 
I almost bought one 2 years ago. Been a favorite car of mine for years.

Your's is the nicest example I have ever seen.

Jay- Yes it still has the 5 speed ZF that has been all rebuilt. The suspension is stock arms and uprights that have been smoothed and chromed mated is aftermarket adjustable coilovers. I considered the aluminum GT5 aftermarket arms but if you are not flaring the fenders you dont need the extra length they provide or the $6000 price tag. The front bonnet is not that heavy nor the rear decklid but you can do the carbon fiber and save some weight. The reason I didnt is #1 I was going to paint it anyway cause I do not like the 2 tone on the outside of the car and #2 takes a lot of work to fit them from what I have heard. Yes the current wheels are Budnik and are 18s front and rear. I have new wheels in production for it which should be done soon.

Clil- You can have it , for a price!?

absolutely love it
 
i have heard the stock tranny has some durability issues when you push 500? Hp.. is that so?? also just let me compliment you on a very very tastefull row of desicions leading up to that result... i personally prefer brushed to polished.. but its right on the money Imho.... what wheels are you putting on that thing?? 3 pc compomotive.. or somthing in the fikse line??

as to weather it qualifies as pro touring... it is the very soul of PT...
cudos!

Mostest Beautifulest Pantera EVERRRRRR!!!!!!
:thumbsup:
It would be very interesting to see it run a road course. I'd be willing to bet it would out perform most Pro-Toured cars.
