Stop it, I may have to join the list........:biggrin:
They stack nice...even with only 9' ceilings in the garage.
LOL! Kinda like grandma's fancy dishes, right?
Well, I took the plunge on a deal I could not pass up. Aside from my not so ideal current situation, I bought a Pantera. Not just any Pantera, but the infamous "Purgold" Pantera know for years among the Pantera community. It has not been delivered yet as I am still going through the documentation process. It is bold and gaudy. However, one look at that outrageous engine bay and I was smitten. I'll put up another post once I take possession.
Here are a few pics...
no u didnt?!?!?! DID YOU?!
I know. I know. I'll give a proper reply when the big fancy truck arrives and this car is lifted and placed in my driveway.
As always, Docjohn, your comments are thoughtful and pertinent. I bought this car as an investment with intent on selling it. However, I may change my mind if my situation allows that option.
Since buying my Pantera, it has been in a special shop getting my "fixit" list addressed. I may be finally picking it up this week. For anyone who lives in the SoCal area, I am organizing a Irvine Cars & Coffee Pantera Day on March 5. My goal is to have 40 Panteras fill an area of the show lot called the corral. Forty Panteras in one place to commemorate the 40th birthday of this awesome muscle car. It should be quite a show.
Here's a pic of the day it was delivered from Oregon via enclosed transport

Hi docjohn! I don't know Joe but just learned he was the president of the East Coast Pantera Club. Mike Drew, who is editor of the POCA newsletter, mentioned that fact in an article I found. I am always interested in making new contacts. Do you know his email address?
This thread makes me miss my old Pantera. I specifically remember how heavy that darn rear bonnet is!
I had his tel# not sure of email,but will look.
Since this is the unofficial Pantera thread, I figured I would post this link here. There were some awesome Panteras at the Cars in Coffee in California including the Pur Gold car.
You can start here and also browse to the cnc site after that. At least 30 good pics in there.

Thanks for your post. I went directly to the cncpics.com site and browsed all 437 hi quality photos of the March 5 show taken by this pro.
Did you buy the pur gold?
Was that you at the car show?

Yup! I organized the event. A great turnout with 45 Panteras in attendance. Gotta love it!
In solidarity, I took my Pantera to Raleigh C&C that day.
I have not seen the movie but I hear Fast & Furious Five has some Pantera content.
These photos seem relevant to this thread...taken at my local coffee and cars event:

Nothing against the nice looking NSX but that Pantera looks absolutely perfect!
And...at 38 years old...they can still run!
I love Panteras, but on a negative note..they are a death trap in an accident...no crunch zone etc.....Dont stop very quickly either...that being said they are still very cool and desireable cars.......

Agreed...but then so was the Tomcat (by modern standards)...so my days are numbered!
