I met Tim and his family and his newly acquired 72 Pantera GT5-S
clone. The paint is flawless, and he bought it from the owner who
last possessed it for 25 years. It needs nothing, though I might
delete either the rear strap spoiler or the delta wing, but they do
not actually clash so not urgent. I think I may be the only one who
noticed. It's a bright red with ghost striping that is rather
attractive. The engine is polished and stock-ish with a polished
single plane intake.
Tim's a great guy and has been collecting cars for some years but this
is the one. In fact, he was eying my car years before I possessed it,
back when it was running in the '90s. He also talked to the owner but
couldn't get him to separate from it. Probably not the right time, or
I have mad skills conning people out of their cars. Dave Morrison was
also there with his Pantera. That's *three* in one place in the
triangle area. I told them they all should have taken their butts out
to Asheville for the gathering, but it was a bit of news to them. I
told Tim about the mailing list so I hope he joins soon.
