Chuck, Love the time warp aspect of this car. It looks exactly as you would expect a So-Cal Pantera to look in 1975-76.... Mike Sent from my iPhone On Sep 5, 2016, at 11:29, "Charles Engles" <cengles@cox.net> wrote:
Dear Forum,
There is a Pantera for sale in McAlester. The pictures are on Chuck Melton's website under VIN 5500. I am including the email from Feb 3^rd. At that time the owner had a price of $150k. I just spoke with her that she has lowered her price to $80k. If you have questions about the car or you would like to contact the owner in McAlester, Oklahoma, then email me.
It is a solid Pantera.
Warmest regards, Chuck Engles

Dear Chuck,
The story on the car is that it was bought allegedly at the Peyton Lincoln-Mercury dealership in Long Beach, California, which Peter Revson was associated with. It was sold to George Embry, who sold it to the current owner in 1975. She has kept it all these years. It has about 38,500 miles. It has never seen rain. It was last serviced at Panteras by Wilkinson in 1997. It has always been kept covered and garaged. It was in Long Beach until 1997 and has been in Oklahoma since then.
It is not completely stock. It does have aftermarket parts, some of which are from Peter Revson: the front spoiler, the pinstriping. There are aftermarket DeTomaso valve covers and an air cleaner. The engine sounds like it no longer has a stock factory cam and it does have after market headers and exhaust. The rest of the car is in mint condition and stock original. The driver's seat was showing some wear on the left side and it was switched to the passenger side. Although the car does have an L bumper and a single pod dash a an external side fill gas cap, it does have pre L seat belts. The underside is exceptionally clean and there is no rust. The paint condition is excellent.
The car starts immediately and rapidly settles into a steady idea with a slight edge to it from the cam and exhaust.
The owner's price is $150,000. Direct inquiries to Chuck Engles <DSC_0172.JPG> _______________________________________________
