Our 74 is somewhat modified and known for its rare 3 twos.... We admire all the great modifications our Pantera friends have come up with and consider them "auto/motor geniuses"! We respect all the stock Panteras and every Pantera we see in our travels, shows and postings! Keep expressing yourselves guys and gals by fulfilling your vision of what your car can be! You have that right and you are admired and respected by the most who count! Sent from Effie's iPad

"It's an abomination." -Disgust and hatred? "Look, someone has to point up these mindless modifications to cars that are now ( who knows why ) worth something." - They've always been worth something. "The unmolested cars are the ones that will raise to the top of the money pile." -Maybe true, but hopefully that is not why you own one. "And THAT is exactly why De Tomasos, Panteras in general will NEVER be taken seriously by the Motoring World because of the ill conceived "additions" that are foisted on a great many of these cars." -That may also be true, but why would you care whether they are or not? Nancy I find it interesting that mods like Steve has done are repugnant to you. I am not judging you, just your opinions and would hope that you don't view my response as an attack on your character. We all have the right to express our thoughts knowing all may not agree.That's what free speech is all about right? I try to see the work done as a labor of love for cars and for it's engineering craftsmanship. It's that unrelenting human factor that makes people to do such things.A It's what drives some to push the existing threshold beyond what we know. Beauty is in the eye of the creator, how you perceive it is of course your choice. The "Motoring World" would be a very,very boring place without people like Steve and others of like mind who are well respected for the modifications they've created. And not just Panteras. Endless "mindless" innovations have come from people like him that have guided the course of automotive history and evolution. I'm sure you are aware of this and can respect that. You still may not like it Nancy and that's ok. It can be a challenge and it may sound so esoteric, but if you can relearn and allow yourself to find some appreciation and acceptance of things initially uncomforting then perhaps you'll reduce bother and add bit more enjoyment in your life. And we could all use a little more of that these days :) Respectfully, Matt (trying unsuccessfully to like rap) Wells 3584 _______________________________________________
