I'd go with the 255 tires. 225 tires sit well on 8" rims. I have 295
tires on 10" rims and sidewall budge is significant. They would sit
better on 12" rims. I've previously had them on 11" rims and even they
looked narrow.

I plan to put original 15 inch rims on 5332 and am continuing to figure
out
my tire options. Which are pretty limited, as reported many times here
before. I note that the TA's come in a couple of sizes that might work
on
the back 8 inch rims:
295/50R15, 26.7 inches tall, TireRack indicates they can go on 8 - 10.5
inch
wide rims. Tread width 10.4" Section width 12.2"
255/60R15, 27.1 inches tall, TireRack indicates they can go on 7 - 9
inch
wide rims. Tread width 9.1" Section width 10.2"
The 255's look to be the most logical choice, but does anyone have any
comments on the 295's - are they an option, given I will be going with
8
inch wide rims?

IMHO? I would like the 8" Campy much better, on the rear of a Pantera, if the back spacing was? 4" to 4 1/2". It brings the tire out some, looking more like a tire on a 10" Campy in the wheel well opening. The difference between 8'' and 10" Campy ( since both have the 5 3/16" back spacing ) makes the outer edge of an 8" farther under the car.
But my dad always said " If wishes were horses, then beggars could ride."

Message-ID: <38861E1E21BF431C8C5A99468982B70E@DadarooHP>
I run 255 60?s size on my car and am happy. Would have gotten 275?s at but they were not available. I like the 255?s in the fact that I can get a good hard start with virtually no wheel spin but I can grab a second and third shift chirp from the tires that you can easily hear. They also don?t look too big and out of place for an earlier original car from 40 years ago. If you want to see a video go to You Tube ?Detomaso Pantera High Performance Fun?. It includes some of my shifts along with 2 high speed runs. I also tested these under really hard turning and acceleration with my 205?s up front on a lot of Interstate clover leafs and it was very stable. Tried to use 225?s up front but my car is a 1971 and I wanted to not roll the front fenders since the car is so original. May have been able to get away with it but I had removed the spring spacers to lower the car.

There has been an Alpha 11 version on eBay on and off for some time now, supposedly cost $370K to build. The problem with this and the likes of Ford GT Twin Turbo's or Lamborghini TT Underground conversions is a) Sellers actually believe they can recoup most or all of the upgrade costs and b) you just know that cars that have had that done have likely been thrashed at some point.
On the GTR specifically no doubting it is a great car, I have recounted previously that I raced my Ultima in SCCA time trials against one and couldn't figure out initially what I had to do to keep up with him. Once I got behind I sure didn't want to be there, the car was literally driving him with all the traction control, the back end weaving from side to side to continually auto recover. This guy was determined I wasn't going to get by, but in the end he just pushed it too hard and spun. At a later event early in 2013 I heard he lost it completely on the Ess's at Reno-Fernley, went off into the dirt heading straight for the flag station at turn 2, but there's a gulch running through there, the result was car was totaled with bent chassis.

>>>The Pre-L cars came with (by today's standards) laughably skinny and
tall tires, sized 185/70 front and either 215 or 225/70 rear. The L-model
cars switched to 'low-profile' tires, sized C 60 and H 60, which corresponds to
215/60 front and 255/60 rear.
Those would probably give the best handling feedback and would be the most
'right', although they still look rather undersized by today's standards.
While the 295/50 will fit on an 8-inch rear and lots of people use them,
they are arguably too wide for that relatively narrow wheel; they really
prefer a 10-inch wheel. Similarly, a popular upgrade for the front is 225/50,
but that also prefers a wider wheel, i.e. 8-inch.
All other things being equal, if you have the stock 7/8 inch wheels, I'd
probably shoot for a 215/60 and 255/60 combo. BFG is the only outfit that
offers those sizes, I think, and while they are not the best tires in the
world, they are more than adequate for street driving, and they are leagues
better than anything that was available when the cars were new.

Others have correctly identified them as Hall Pantera wheels. These
center are actually intended for 15-inch wheels, and have been fitted to 17-inch
hoops.
They are no better or worse than any of the other Hall Pantera wheels which
are legendary for failing. They were a very sincere, honest attempt at
making a good-looking, cheap wheel, but Hall was let down by his supplier, who
failed to engineer the wheels properly for any sort of longevity.
I would view them as scrap today. :<(

Don't you just love these stories???
The Banks record deisel pickup was trailered to SLC or Wendover . . . race trailer hooked up and then photographed hauling the trailer onto the salt. I guess all that counts is looking good with the pole between your legs?
Happy motoring . . .
"That's an improvement fot Hennessey since the Silver State race a few years ago when Larry Stock tucked in on the bumper and drafted Hennessey driving one of his go-fa$ter$. The big bad Viper couldn't pull away from Larry's street Pantera with an unblown 351-C. At 187 indicated, Larry backed off just before the next radar checkpoint, where Hennessey was disqualified for exceeding his Tech speed. Larry finished and drove home. Hennessey trailered the Viper."

Anyone know where to get a set of rear lights for a 2007 Murcielago LP640 at a fair price?
My cousin has just bought a new toy and it seems that someone smashed the lights for the previous owner. Perhaps the fact that it is a Greek car has something to do with that.

"The Amerisport VIN is really a 'made up' number necessary to register the
car in the USA"
Or just an outright lie? Maybe someone can explain how the Amerisport VIN is MORE of a made up number than Hank's [1] third customer car? or a Detomaso VIN?
It just seems that all VINs are started at some arbitrary point, including the secret handshake codes, and continued for various reasons, including to "register the car in the USA."
OK, ladies, back to the regularly scheduled program . . . . .

Ricambi America and Eurospares are your best bets. I've bought from both
and prices are way more reasonable than at a main dealer. Also look up the
parts cross reference on Lamboweb and Lambopower. You can get the same
parts for a lot cheaper when you're not buying a "lambo" parts.

Heh, yeah :)
He had issues with ignition coils burning out on his Diablo, and at around $900 a piece we checked for alternatives. Turned out that the same coil was used in Fiat Tipos, and they could be had for next to nothing. Ultimately the problem was a bad connector on the coil and after replacing that there were no more coil problems.
That said, the rear lenses can't be found on any Fiat. Parts are however often much less in the US than what we get to pay here.
I've even bought OEM parts for some of my audis from the US as they were like 1/3 the cost compared to here.
I've seen the lenses for around 2200 per side. No idea what the Swedish distributor wants for them.

Hi folks,
While my seats will be out of the car getting reupholstered, I'd like to replace the female sides of the seat belts with the kind mounted on stiff stalks so I don't have to dig around trying to find them every time I drive.
I think in a past post someone said a Ford pickup part would work with the stock male belts I'm going to retain.
Does anyone know the part I need?

Screw it. Duct tape (red, f course) both of them over and drill and
mount some nice trailer lights on top of the rear deck. Gets them

Subject: [DeTomaso] seat belt receptacle follow-up
Message-ID:
I just found an old email I saved from Jack DeRyke:
As long as the reels and insertion-ends are OK, why not find some surplus
Ford buckle-ends? I used the buckle ends from the jump-seats of an '89 Ford
extended-cab pickup, and not only were they about the right length and click
onto the stock belts, the screws holding them to the floor fits the Pantera,
and the plastic stand-up holders from the main seats can be shortened to
fit the Pantera too. The Ford buckles are plated but roughing them up and
spray painting would make them almost identical to the stock plastic-buckles in
appearance.
Replacing the other ends is complicated due to the reels and sewn-together
belt/shoulder harness in your '74. Good luck- J Deryke
I'm wondering if the ford buckle ends to which he refers would work with the male ends in my stock '72?

Is anyone else getting the text part of the forum messages doubled? Is it
just AOL giving me more for my money?
Non-forum messages are OK.

I've had them doubled for several days now.
BUT,
I've also noticed the links contained within a message will now open in the same window.
Previously, I had to right-click and open in a new window.
I suspect the POCA webmaster elves have a hand in this..... ;-)

The text in forum messages is doubled, but not identically parsed.
Who knows? Who cares?
Pretty sure is not the cause AOL since several non-AOL forum users report
the doubling problem.

No, it's not AOL. It's the limitations of the Mailman server software.
Mailman isn't actually designed to handle html messages very well. It
was originally designed as a text only mail forwarder. So what's
happened?
Well, in allowing html and attachments, the archiver can't cope and
stores the messages as html, which created complaints from those who
browse the messages by going to the server and not receiving emails
directly. So we had to switch a setting to re-parse the html emails
into plain text.
So, now they populate properly in the archive but often the text is
duplicated in the messages forwarded to the list.
I've monkeyed with it a few times but haven't been able to make it work
any better. I could probably set it all back to how it was, not
allowing photos or any other attachments through and it might return to
normal.
Honestly, it's nearly amazing that Mailman is still supported with all
the forums and other email forwarders out there today, and there isn't
any kind of user interface updates, mostly just bug fixes and security
enhancements.
What does everybody like better?

Oh attachments are nice.
And a little bit of duplicated text is no big deal to me.

Isn't there a story about making a silk purse from a sow's ear? I'm not
saying a GTR is a"sow's ear" but. I certainly wouldn't want to have $250k
in one no matter how many horses they could squeeze out of it's 6
cylinders. In the long run if it hasn't grenaded I think you might get back
whatever a stock GTR will be worth, and who knows what that might be. Ther
aren't to many Japanese cars that have done very well in the resale
market. The only one I can think of off hand that has really appreciated
is that old Toyota who's name escapes me.

For that kind of green I can get one of these:

I think I'd prefer an XJ13 though and it probably costs about the
same. Ah the choices to be made after I'm superrich ;) I guess I'll
have both, and my bop-around Pantera, my race Pantera, my embarrass
the street crowd Pantera and the electric Pantera, of course.

Isn't there a story about making a silk purse from a sow's ear? I'm not
saying a GTR is a"sow's ear" but. I certainly wouldn't want to have $250k in
one no matter how many horses they could squeeze out of it's 6 cylinders. In
the long run if it hasn't grenaded I think you might get back whatever a
stock GTR will be worth, and who knows what that might be. Ther aren't to
many Japanese cars that have done very well in the resale market. The only
one I can think of off hand that has really appreciated is that old Toyota
who's name escapes me.

It looks like the male end is a lot thinner and smaller than mine (no anatomy jokes...!) so I don't think the female receptacle would work with my current belt.

>>>That was the Achilles heel of the original GT40.
The GT40 was built in a hurry, and at the time the only available gearbox
that would seem to do the job was an Italian four-speed. It quickly showed
that it was not up to the task, and Ford arranged for ZF in Germany to
design and build an all-new purpose-built gearbox for the GT40. The thing is,
there was a bureaucratic hangup, and the contract was never finalized but
Ford apparently didn't know it. So seven months went by, and Ford finally
asked, "Where are our gearboxes" and ZF's reply was "What gearboxes? You
never actually placed the order?"
Or something like that.
So the cars had to suffer even longer with the woeful Colotti unit. Once
the ZFs arrived, there was no looking back.
The small-block cars would often fail to finish races due to head gasket
failure; it took years for Ford to crack that nut. In the interim they
shifted gears (figuratively speaking) and went for a big-block 427 solution.
They believed the ZF was incapable of handling the torque, and so they
designed and built their own four-speed transaxle (made by Kar Kraft), which
utilized standard Ford toploader four-speed gearbox internals.
Ironically, due to improper heat treatment of some gears, initially the Kar
Kraft gearboxes failed and put the cars out. But once that minor niggle
was sorted, they became unbeatable. Which is why the rules were changed to
simply outlaw large displacement, which effectively outlawed the GT40.
Who would have guessed that Ford (well, actually Ford was pretty much out
of the GT40 business by then, and it was really John Wyer Associates, JWA)
then would have spiffed up the by-now-old and always-overweight GT40, fit it
with wider wheels and bigger brakes, and a more thoroughly developed 302
engine, and go on to win for two more years?

Improving Sync is crucial for Ford to draw car shoppers who are increasingly
looking to be connected at all times. In-vehicle technology is the top
selling point for 39 percent of auto buyers, more than twice the 14 percent
who say their first consideration is traditional performance measures such
as power and speed, according to a study by the consulting firm Accenture

I'm about to open up a Colotti gear box in the next month or so to inspect it for a client. The thing is actually much larger the the -0 ZF and the -2 we are familiar with.
In the John Wyer Racing program they actually were running 351 Windsor engines near the end of the program.
I'm working on the gearboxes for one of the Shelby built open top GT that currently has an Indy V-8 and a dash "0" box in it

Gary Herrig, member of Panteras Northwest, had one of the two Pavesi targas
to reach the US for about three years. I wrote the Profiles article for
him, and while he had the motor out and interior stripped, counted no less
than 38 pieces of structural steel added to the car to add stiffness, the
most substantial of which were two 3/8" by 6" steel plates that ran the
length of the rocker, and actually extended at least an inch below the
bottom of the stock rocker, making speed bumps a bitch on a car already that
low. I can only guess how much weight all that steel added to the car. I
only recall bits and pieces, but it seems there was something about the
specs and plans coming with the car when it first came to the country, but
being purloined for a substantial sum by Gary Hall, who eventually used some
version to create his purple targa. Please, fill in the blanks as you wish.
I do recall reading that the whereabouts of the plans were unknown at that
time, and no idea if they've surfaced since.
Looking at the underside of Gary's car, I often wondered if some kind of
angled piece, rather than the flat one that ended up sticking down below the
car, could have been fashioned to provide the same strength. It certainly
didn't add to the looks of the car.

Hi Ken
The conversions carried out by the DeTomaso Factory were done by a shop
called Pavesi, in Milan, Italy. These were done in the 70's and 80's, and I
don't know if the company is still around, and I am not aware of them having
done any conversions for private customers. The amount of reinforcing done
to perform the conversion makes it somewhat impractical for a finished car -
there is tons of steel reinforcing welded in and you need to completely
strip the car.
Hall Pantera did several targas, and the word on the street is that they
were so labor intensive that Gary Hall said he'd never do any more. Gary
Hall passed away a few years ago.
This is a really big and expensive undertaking. You would no doubt be money
ahead buying a car already converted, if you could find one. They are out
there.
As a coincidence, I was reading a POCA profiles from 2003 last night before
going to bed. A Pavesi conversion GT5-S was sold in 2003 for $42k, if I
remember correctly, which has to be the all-time steal of the century

That was Gary Herrig who bought the car in Florida from an exotics rental
car company, and had basically put it to pasture not knowing what they had.
It was painted that gawd-awful mystique shifting-color paint at the time.
After painting and a new interior, he sold it a couple years later for
something in the $65K range, still a huge deal to its current owner (I think
in New York state), who had tracked the car since it came to the US, and as
soon as it surfaced in Gary's hands, contacted him with interest to buy when
he was ready.

but he has already sold that to a guy named Olaf Roks. Simon also recently
completed the ground up restoration of a yellow Mangusta. He just bought an

Chris, SOBill Taylor sent me this link when I was asking about belts a while
ago. The receptacle ends look to be on a stiff stalk.

Subject: [DeTomaso] Seat belt recepticals
Hi folks,
While my seats will be out of the car getting reupholstered, I'd like to
replace the female sides of the seat belts with the kind mounted on stiff
stalks so I don't have to dig around trying to find them every time I drive.
I think in a past post someone said a Ford pickup part would work with the
stock male belts I'm going to retain.
Does anyone know the part I need?
Thanks,
Chris

Mike,
You specifically say younger members to POCA, are you referring to attracting members to POCA because of antiquated technology i.e. e-mail list vs. a forum? Or that young people aren't buying Pantera's because the cars are antiquated technology?

one and jaguar owns it and their not selling. RCR makes an XJ-13 replica
(in Fiberglas) but hey have an associate in the UK who can make it into an
aluminum bodied car (for $200K give or take.
I had an NSX which I wrecked at 150 MPH ( didn't get a scratch) great car

Or just an outright lie? Maybe someone can explain how the
Amerisport
VIN is MORE of a made up number than Hank's [1] third customer
car? or
a Detomaso VIN?
It just seems that all VINs are started at some arbitrary point,
including the secret handshake codes, and continued for various
reasons, including to "register the car in the USA."
OK, ladies, back to the regularly scheduled program . . . . .

That was a Newsletter article quite a few years ago. and I used cut-down plastic stiffening sleeves from the front seats of an '87 Ford crew-cab pickup. The buckle-half belts are 2X too long to work in a Pantera. Compatible stalk-type buckle supports were uncommon in my Pick N Pull. Sleeves from mid-'80s Buicks also work. Note also that the entire buckle half from the occasional back seats of same Ford pickup are the right length belt & will engage & lock onto Pantera male belt ends, but do not have stiffener sleeves. So you must mix-&-match. Most junkyard buckles will be shiny polished metal, not black leatherette. Do NOT try powder coating shiny buckles- the curing heat will weaken the belt fabric which is not removable.
If you go to a wrecking yard for seat belts, take a large Torx socket & ratchet since the round-head Torx fastener bolt is VERY tight in the floor and you won't be able to loosen it with pliers or other such tools. Also note- the Torx screw will thread into your Pantera recepticle as they're the same metric thread as the stock hex-bolt. The only advantage of stiif buckle-end belt supports is, you can (with practice) simply poke the belt end(s) down toward the stiff part without looking or using two hands. Handy if you're in a hurry, or in LeMans starts.... J DeRyke

Yes. FWIW, I can also rebuild stock Pantera seat-belt buckles when (not if) the leatherette cracks from 40+ years of constant internal spring pressure. The stock design uses that little plastic part to positively retain the guts of the seat belt; its not just decorative. So when the plastic age-cracks, the buckle disassembles in your hands. My fix does not affect the latching part so safety is the same as stock.
I'm wondering if the ford buckle ends to which he refers would work with the male
ends in my stock '72?

I just found an old email I saved from Jack DeRyke:
As long as the reels and insertion-ends are OK, why not find some surplus
Ford buckle-ends? I used the buckle ends from the jump-seats of an '89 Ford
extended-cab pickup, and not only were they about the right length and click
onto the stock belts, the screws holding them to the floor fits the Pantera,
and the plastic stand-up holders from the main seats can be shortened to
fit the Pantera too. The Ford buckles are plated but roughing them up and
spray painting would make them almost identical to the stock plastic-buckles in
appearance.
Replacing the other ends is complicated due to the reels and sewn-together
belt/shoulder harness in your '74. Good luck- J Deryke

Calm down, David. The DOT simply made up more hurdles during the '80s for Amerisport to jump through, apparently for their own entertainment since they accomplished nothing else of note. Remember, those rules made Kirk Evans the 'manufacturer' of the GT5-S in the U.S so technically, those 50+ cars aren't even imports! Thus they had to meet all U.S. car building rules for the early '80s, exactly like Ford or GM. Kirk must be a very stubborn man 'cause any normal person would have told the DOT to stuff it and go make money somewhere with fewer rules.

Hi Jack!
I am plenty calm, the derisive note regarding "made up" numbers just struck me as unnecessary. I understand what Evans did and why. Does that make Evans a bad guy?

Thus they had to meet all U.S. car building rules for the early '80s, exactly like Ford or GM. Kirk must be a very stubborn man 'cause any normal person would have told the DOT to stuff it and go make money somewhere with fewer rules.

"The Amerisport VIN is really a 'made up' number necessary to register
the

Or just an outright lie? Maybe someone can explain how the Amerisport
VIN is MORE of a made up number than Hank's [1] third customer car? or
a Detomaso VIN?
It just seems that all VINs are started at some arbitrary point,
including the secret handshake codes, and continued for various
reasons, including to "register the car in the USA."
OK, ladies, back to the regularly scheduled program . . . . .

It's hard for me to understand why the Italians did so poorly as a military
force in WWII when I see the levels of perfection in their automobiles and
the performance of this pit crew. I didn't blink and I still missed what
was really being done . I saw the before and the after but it was difficult
to actually observe the "during" it was so fast it's mind boggling.

It's hard for me to understand why the Italians did so poorly as a military

the performance of this pit crew. I didn't blink and I still missed what
was really being done . I saw the before and the after but it was difficult

There are 'some people' out there who continue to insist that the
Amerisport Panteras are not 'real' Panteras, and instead are some sort of glorified
kit cars. Referring to them by their Amerisport VIN instead of their De
Tomaso VIN is an insult, one which perpetuates that myth and robs them of their
well-deserved true identity as De Tomaso cars.
All Amerisport cars were made in Italy by De Tomaso and equipped with De
Tomaso VINS; they were 'completed' here by Kirk, by the installation of the
drivetrain and emissions gear, and technically, that meant they were
considered to be manufactured here. Due to stupid bureaucracy in the USA, the
government refused to acknowledge the De Tomaso VINS the cars wore (our laws had
changed and required more characters than had been used previously), and so
the DOT made up rather arbitrary new ones for Amerisport to use, which
unfortunately have no relationship to the De Tomaso VIN.
That doesn't change the true identity of an Amerisport-sourced car, or make
it any less of a genuine De Tomaso Pantera, despite what some may suggest.

I vaguely recall reading in some GT40 history book that when the Yanks
went to LeMans, the Ferrari crews was very non-chalant about pitstops
and driver changes. The American teams brought NASCAR practices to the
race and motivated the Italians to up their game.
I guess that's the American view on it.

I vaguely recall reading in some GT40 history book that when the Yanks
went to LeMans, the Ferrari crews was very non-chalant about pitstops
and driver changes. The American teams brought NASCAR practices to the
race and motivated the Italians to up their game.
I guess that's the American view on it.

Subject: Re: [DeTomaso] NPC: Teamwork and lack thereof...
It's hard for me to understand why the Italians did so poorly as a
military
force in WWII when I see the levels of perfection in their automobiles
and
the performance of this pit crew. I didn't blink and I still missed
what
was really being done . I saw the before and the after but it was
difficult
to actually observe the "during" it was so fast it's mind boggling.

Subject: [DeTomaso] 150,000 Mile Club (or 241,000 Kilometer Klub)
Message-ID: <784e5.28454987.40452c62@aol.com>
Well, I reached the 150,000 milestone a few days ago....I didn't notice it
for a couple days after the fact and snapped the photo of the odometer.
Funny thing about it though, you would never know that it wasn't 50,000 unless
I told you. Just goes to show you that driving your Pantera doesn't make
it show its age....the design is timeless.
I have always said that I would never sell the Pantera but on the day it
turned 150,000 miles, I was at a bookstore parking lot with it and when I
came out of the store there was someone looking at the car (common
occurance). Our conversation went something like this:
Him: Wow, awesome car!
Me: Thanks, I have way to much fun with it! (my normal response to most
questions about it).
Him: What's it worth...about $200K?
Me: (......pausing).......SOLD!
Would I have sold it for $200K? I would have been crazy not to, but I
would have immediately looked for a replacement. Although, I sure do like my
car....it has a million memories tied to it.
I can't think of another car that I would rather:
Take to the grocery store
Take to the race track
Go to the bank
Get free oil changes (OK, only once)
Road racing at the Silver State Classic
Go get fast food
Go drag racing
Carve up incredible mountain roads
Go to Walmart
Take the family to Disneyland (that was fun!)
Spend 20 minutes at the gas station fueling up and answering questions
(love that)
Keep up with (and passing) most any new exotic car on the road (now have
15,000 miles on the 408 stroker!)
6000 mile road trip in 16 days
Meet some of the greatest people on earth because of this incredible
exotic car
Over the past 21 years of my Pantera ownership, I have done all the above
and so much more. To this day, I still get butterfly's in my stomach in
anticipation of the fun I will have driving it that day. What more could I
possibly ask of ANY car, let alone something as cool as a Pantera?
After 42 years, the Pantera still looks like a million bucks (or at least
$200K)
You always hear about the LOW mileage Panteras out there but don't hear
much about the high mileage ones (for sake of argument, lets call 100K "high
mileage" for a Pantera).
I know of several Panteras that are 200,000 miles and over (I think Mats
Gorsky in Sweden has nearly 300,000 on his and he bought his new). Anyone
you know of out there who thinks they own or know of someone who owns the
worlds highest mileage Pantera?
I would love to hear about it!

Hi folks,
While my seats will be out of the car getting reupholstered, I'd
like to
replace the female sides of the seat belts with the kind mounted on
stiff
stalks so I don't have to dig around trying to find them every time
I drive.
I think in a past post someone said a Ford pickup part would work
with the
stock male belts I'm going to retain.
Does anyone know the part I need?
Thanks,
Chris
