Wow....Toyotas Sure Have Gotten Bigger!
by Mike Reilly 11 Aug '16

11 Aug '16

My house & garage were getting electrical work done today so I drove my Pantera to work. I parked next to a Toyota SUV. The contrast in vehicle size was astonishing so I had to snap a picture to share. I can’t imagine if I ever hit one of these head on! My roof was way below it’s door handles. And to think Toyotas used to be small economy cars. Mike Sent from Mail for Windows 10 My house & garage were getting electrical work done today so I drove my Pantera to work.

1978 Suzuka Circuit supercar race

A little excitement for a Wednesday morning...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8okUeyx-Ds I love seeing all these cars out there dicing it up on the track, especially the Muira. This was circa 1978 before some of these cars became unobtanium for mere working-class mortals. Enjoy! A little excitement for a Wednesday morning...

Jeff, I hooked up the high pressure side gauge and get these numbers: before starting car, 100 psi both sides after system settles down, at 1500 rpm, low side 7 psi, high side 225 psi. As the car warmed the engine speed increased to maybe 1750 rpm and the high side was creeping up to 240-250 but the low was staying at 5-7. Ambient temp was 77F, so should be about 40-45 low side, 170 high side. According to the info sheet, this "Hi side too high, low side too low" situation would imply "blockage of expansion valve or orifice tube." Would that be from having the R12 valve in a system now using 134? I used my laser thermometer on the vents and got 20-40F, but I suspect that kind of thermometer is not accurate for this application because on my street car I got like 13F, which I think cannot be right. Anyway, it seems to me if I add more 134 I run the risk of blowing the high side hose at 3000 rpm and 85F temp. Does that sound right? I do have 15 12 oz cans of old school R12 I bought way back when, so I could switch to R12, but I would have to take the car to have the 134 recycled, replace the dryer, put the system under vacuum, etc so would like not to.

Jim, All cars use different pressures and for examples this week we did a/c work on a 124 Fiat, many Benz-Bmws-Toyotas, a 71 e-type, Ford +Chevy trucks, a Cobra kit car and a Mangusta. But basic pressures at 1,500 rpm with cooling fans on and on high, with both windows open, rear and front hatch closed, high fan and not on recirc should be about 35 + - low side and 250 + - high. Seems like a 7:1 ratio works the best. Converted systems do need different numbers but never too much of a change. So your low range should vary from 20 to 38 psi and the high 210 to 260 psi as long as above written parameters are meet. The proper pressures will equate to the coolest temps. You have to note that and remember you are just setting the vent output for the coolest temp not some pre-considered ideal temp you hope for. About 30 % of all of our a/c fixes are fixing the stuck on heaters. We are in hot Louisiana, make sure your heater is truly shut off by doing a liquid test. Do use the correct oil and add 2 oz if you are not sure of how much is in. You can always expel the working high side into a cloth or jug for 2 seconds to get an idea if you are oily enough. A lot of spit indicates fine but dry expelled gas needs oil. Keep cool, Jeff Jeff Cobb- I pad W-225-343-7525 C-225-907-4514 Jeff Cobb Auto Works 1316 S.

It was next door in the detailing shop. The sales guy, John Zuberek, could not gain access since they were closed. He reminded me of Tom Cruise in Risky Business, dealing Lambos! So he is going to email me when it's done and I can go back for a look next week. He also said they have an interested buyer(don't they all?),which may explain the detailing. They must have 20 Lamborghini's just that I could see and some other speciality cars too. Millions of dollars worth of cars. I felt like I walked into a bank vault. I felt a little out of my comfort zone but we talked and he filled me in on the different Lambo models and car stuff in general.They sell between 15-30 cars a month and cater to Lambo buyers primarily. They claim to be one of the biggest Lambo dealers around. He said the owner, Roy Cats, has a special place in his heart for Panteras though. He indicated Roy had recently found another car he's purchasing soon. Stay tuned. John also said they feel the market is surging for Panteras right now. Duh! But in the same breath he added "it's like the stock market ,who knows?". They did have a car I would take over all the rest though, a 2006 Ford GT in Gulf livery. So I took a few pics for you. I haven't tried attaching pics yet so please let me know PM if they don't show up and I'll find another way to post. Let you know what I find out about the Pantera later this week.

Re: [DeTomaso] im looking for a spair tire for my 1972 pantera or ideal what will fit in trunk

Jack (I assume that's your name?) Your e-mail came through completely blank, but your subject line pretty well lays out your question. Before getting down to specifics, let me suggest something perhaps you hadn't considered. Let's say you're driving down the road and BOOM, you get a flat tire. You pull over, pull out your jack and your spare, install the spare, inflate it, lower the car back onto the road.... ...and then what? Your rare, exotic and expensive factory wheel and flat tire (or equally expensive and rare aftermarket wheel and flat tire) are sitting there on the shoulder of the road. What do you plan to do with them? It's much too big to fit into the car! You're not going to abandon them, so no matter what, you're going to need to call a tow truck. So given that's the case, why even bother carrying a spare? Having said that, if you are really wanting a spare (perhaps for concours), they are rare and expensive, coveted by the Mustang restoration guys. The spare used in the Pantera was the same one used on late 1960s and early 1970s performance Mustangs, including the '69 and '70 Shelby, Boss 302, Boss 429, 428 CJ cars with fold down rear seat and trunk-mounted batteries. There is one available for sale on Ebay right now for $995 plus $36.85 shipping (buy it now price), and another one in much better shape available for auction with a starting price of $395 (but the reserve is likely much higher). Personally I would never trust a 40-year-old collapsible spare tire in any circumstances, so I would view that as a display item only. Others have found that lightweight spacesaver tires from later-model Fords (Crown Vics etc.) will fit, and they can be had from junkyards for a fraction of the cost. But personally, I wouldn't bother. I would carry a can of fix-a-flat (note that some of those use PROPANE as the inflator, and are highly explosive; more than one Pantera has suffered extensive damage from an explosion, so read the label carefully, and keep it in the front trunk!), and a AAA card….
