What do you guys think? Needs just a little work?



Only $4500...

JK, I don't have the other $60K it would take to fix it up...

 

I'm diggin' on the rims...

 

Concours restoration, probably not. Would make a great track car though.

 

I could coat them yellow!!!!

 

they look like the rims they used to have on the late 80's R/C cars and trucks. why yellow?

 

ok so I'm dumb....what am I lookin at?

 

You do not know Pantera? Got Google?

whoa.....cool beans....no, not a pantera person...heard of them...their music sucks....just my opinion anyway....nice looking cars though.....a bit on the pricey side though.

 

Yep, the Pantera was officially import in the US by Lincoln Mercury from 1971-1974. All were 351 Cleveland, mid engined, with ZF - 5 speed transaxle. Early cars are known as "Pre-L" and have chrome front and rear bumpers. Later (mid '72-'74) were known as Pantera L cars, and had the federally mandated larger black bumpers. The very first '71 cars are also know as "pushbutton" cars because of the pushbutton door handles. In late '74 the US spec'ed GTS cars were imported.

Pushbutton, Pre-L :



Pantera L :



After 1974, there were others made, just not "officially" imported - they became more "blingy" with wings, flares, etc. (Yuk!).

 

That's sad, it looks like a real rust bucket. Missing a door, interior is probably shot too. You better have DEEP pockets if you want to get it nice and alot of time on your hands.

 

After a soda blast it may show a glimmer of hope for a "driver" at least. I hate to see it just sitting in that field. There is a nice red one that is in town but its not a 351c, its a big block.

 

i think this pantera is too far gone....

 

Friend of mine in TX just purchased a restored one for 30K with 42K orig. miles and is having it shipped soon. Nice cars, but cost a ton $$ to upkeep if driven much.

Nice '69 MAch BTW
