  • eBay Pick of the Week: 1972 Pantera

    Re: eBay Pick of the Week: 1972 Pantera

    I was looking at one of these that was sitting at Deed's Automotive in Burbank one day. It had no engine or trans in it, and was awaiting repair. Some quick looks underneath and all around the little red number made me realize how much room they really have. I'm fairly certain you could put a Hemi in one! I've always thought they were a cool looking car, and appreciated the american power. I would love one with an aluminum small block Chevy with turbos. Or a big injected Hemi.

      A while back I saw one for sale online super cheap just a bare shell and wondered where it would fit for a LSR car. I think a Yates style small Ford would be sweet in one. As much as I like them Mongusta's are evan cooler.

        Not a '72 with that big black bumper...

          But they handle wickedly.
          They do look sweet, though.

            I'm still in awe of the red GTS that prowled the streets of Omaha in the 80's. I lost many races to him. Cleveland with a 6-71 and twin Holleys. Insanely loud under full power. I loved it.

              These are cool looking cars. There was one at a local show here last summer that I was drooling over. It was rough, but was a driver. It had an in-car camera mounted on the roll-cage, so I'm sure it was the source for some pretty fun videos!

                I have always wanted a Pantera, but alas a teacher's salary would never allow it. I remember looking at new cars in 1972 and fuming because I couldn't afford the $5k for a new BMW 2002 Tii, then seeing a new Pantera sitting close by and just getting in the car and driving off. Those Campagnolo wheels are really cool.

                  This is me pulling out of the driveway in a '73. It had about 25K miles on it. Love that color.



                  Anyway, it was one of a few cars I did repairs on for a friend. He also had a red one with a built 351C, two Porsche 928's, a 911,a 924, and few others, including some VW factory team racecars.

                  He told me not to take the Panteras above 125 because they get real sketchy, so I kept it below 120. ;D
