Probably not a bad car. They are hand built like a Ferrari and the body and so forth is probably pretty straightforward and high quality. then it has a robust ford motor and a rugged transaxle. I would definately consider one.

I like them with the luggage tray removed from the back. Display that engine.

SIGH.

Well, considering that I passed up on a decent one for about $7500 back in the 1980s....

I want but cannay afford.

I'm too old to believe in 'collector' cars anymore. Until I win a lottery, of course....

I've always loved the Pantera.

When selecting one, be warned that virtually ALL of them have been modified. Some modifications well thought out and well executed, but many are not. Be careful.

Good luck!
