Help getting out a California Pantera
by Rob Dumoulin 05 Aug '16

Guys, I have been asked if I knew of anybody that can provide information on #1459 for sale out of California. Just 29 cars newer than mine. The car was referred through the Registry but there seems to be little information on it. Anyone seen it first hand and knows it's history? Rob (trying to find old cats new homes) D.

Motorcycle Automatics
by Fred 04 Aug '16

04 Aug '16

A friend bought one. I rode with him. At 45MPH he was gritting his teeth. At the next light he forgot to put down his foot and fell over in a ditch. He eventually decided to ride to Des Moines, IA. He was on an off ramp and the bike slid out from under him. He walked to the closest convenience store, found a kid to ride the bike back to Kansas City, paid the kid, took him to the KC airport and flew the kid home. Don't think he rode the Hondamatic after that. True story.

Re: [DeTomaso] 73 Pantera L dash/floppy a/c vents

I have used small "C" clips to go over the pins that the vents rotate on. This adds a bit of pressure on the sides to hold them in place. If you have them all apart small "O" rings on the pins work well too. Larry - Cleveland On Wed Aug 3 15:12 , Mike Drew via DeTomaso sent: >I have a similar issue in one of my Sciroccos. I decided I liked the vents at a certain angle, but they drooped towards the floor. I used a tiny dab of black RTV silicone to semi-permanently position them.

73 Pantera L at Cats Exotics
by Matt 03 Aug '16

03 Aug '16

I live about 10 min. from Cat's place. I've driven by his store many times never having a good reason to stop in. Why torture myself huh? I noticed they didn't show any pics of the belly, front trunk,or suspension. I believe most of the PNW group live way more S. than me. It might be easier for me to stop by and take a look, which I may do anyway this Sat. now that they have a car I know a few things about. That's if it hasn't been sold already! Again if anyone needs more information or pics I can assist gladly and can go there ASAP if needed. I can even put a deposit down to hold it for you if you're serious after further inspection. Let me know how I can help, off forum if you wish. Matt(chasing classic cars)Wells 3584 PNW can inspect this car more closely if anybody on the list is interested. It's a two-pod car, but was built 11/72 according to the Marti, and DeTomaso stamped it as 1/73. I had thought all of the two-pods had run their course before the "73" model year. VIN is 4891, so has to be near the switch to single-pod. Very nice from the looks.

Has anyone researched hood vent designs?
by Rod Kunishige 03 Aug '16

03 Aug '16

Ken, I have a 73L with factory vents and a spare solid hood against the wall for you to measure should you choose to do so. I wanted a GT40 look. The problem for me was the light bar located in the wrong spot for a better opening. I even thought of having two bucket motors to eliminate it. Art had tried various designs on his hood taking pics as he went thru the process. Check with him too.

Here's the 351c block I am selling. Please email me privately for more info. It's bored to 0.020" over but not honed. It's been decked and line honed. The lifter bores were CNC machined for bushings, ensuring alignment with the camshaft. I also have a set of Crane 36532-16 hydraulic roller lifters for sale. Corey
