[DeTomaso] stock pantera's

[Pantdino]

If you mean by stock literally "as it left the factory" with inadequate Lucas cooling fans, inadequate radiator, retarded timing, etc, then I agree that stock cars are not something you'd want.
 
But fix those basic things and the car is fine and the narrow-bodied cars are the purest design

That is exactly why I think Pantera prices for narrow bodied cars will
remain low.  Special cars will go up for rarity and historical
significance, but the rest will remain low.  (my opinion)

I do not believe they had all the problems everyone complains about.  I
drove my mostly stock car every day for about 8 years.  The only problems
I had were related to the age of the car.

But the general public and many owners believe they sucked.  Even Jay Leno
said in regards to stock Panteras, ³You don¹t want that.  They weren¹t
very good from the factory. They overheated. (They had) suspension
problemsŠ²  Suspension problems?  Seriously?

But that¹s okay with me.  Low Pantera prices means some day I might buy
another.  If my car were worth $1M, I wouldn¹t sell.
