Pantera and NSXs play...

TomCat · 09-03-2009, 14:25

I can't view YouTube at work...BUT the Pantera Forum has POSITIVE comments about the NSXs.
Glad we can all get along

and NSX guys love the Pantera's.

Here is pic I took of a Pantera recently:

The GTS has always been one of my favorites. Fender flares should've been standard on all Panteras. Back in the day the GTS looked like it could just beat up on everything. Brutal car!!

Agreed.

Always had a eye for Panteras. Once in a while, I see one or more exceptional ones at Cars & Coffee. Here are two from this year...

Two FABULOUS examples...
I too like the GT5 and 5-S AND the bundle of snakes...but I am relegated to your basic 73 L (see below)

road they're on looks like fun!

Relegated TomCat? Those two rockets sitting on your lift are the envy of millions. Your Pantera is beautiful and appears to be in mint condition. Ya know, I've said one day I will own a Ferrari (a well kept 308 or similar). After this thread, a Pantera would make a nice alternate.

Pantera's rock and I have many memories of them cruising the strip back in the day. Thank's for the vid TomCat.

I had an option to buy a Pantera in 74 or a Lotus Europa and I chose the Europa. What a mistake.

EdinKali · 09-04-2009, 17:23

One of these days I'd like to own a Pantera and a GT40 replica(not at the same time necessarily unless I can afford it :P).

Mike O · 09-04-2009, 17:48

I've owned two Panteras in the past. Wish I still had the red one...

fourringpilot · 09-04-2009, 20:39

^ Amazing cars in these pics ^

BTW - that road was a lot of fun for us. Probably one of the best roads in the midwest. If only the Cobra wasn't in front slowing us down.

apkarian100 · 09-04-2009, 22:08

Wow, this car looks great! I've never even known about this car.

**mlambert890** · 09-05-2009, 02:41

Growing up there were two in my neighborhood... My wife and I both have great memories of seeing them cruising around. The Pantera just oozed badass and sounded incredible.

Very cool video, thanks for posting!

goldNSX · 09-05-2009, 07:10

I like the Pantera but don't know if I'd to own one. With only about 7-8000 cars produced they're more exotic than the NSX and maybe a little bit more exotic to drive and repair.

Steven Allen · 09-05-2009, 15:57

Since I still have my 77 450 sl since I purchased it 30 years ago I would guess if I purchased a 74 Pantera as originally contemplated I would likely still own it.

I was looking at Pantera, Esprit, XKS...I uncharacteristically made the RIGHT choice!

My step dad has one for sale... it's a very very clean car... He's owned this for a long time, one of his own collection but still for sale to the right seller.

I owned one for a very brief period (transition sale) and I got to drive it around a bit. Awesome looking car. Love that Ford engine back there too but boy... that rear bonnet is HEAVY! Asides from my hair always tickling the ceiling, I loved it.

That ship sailed for me in 1974.
