I have to say that I have seen Tony's Pantera and it is truly a piece of art. While I realize that it is less "Pantera like" than others, I too have a car a little out of the ordinary (molded flares, flip-up rear spoiler, etc). However, one of the reasons our group gets so much attention at car shows is that, unlike other marques, most Panteras have a unique personality, so there is something to actually look at. People previously unfamiliar with Panteras will look back and forth at the cars trying to discern the differences. It's really quite entertaining and, as a side benefit, it pisses of the Ferrari guys, because one red 308 looks like another 308.
As a car guy, not just exclusively a Pantera fan, I have an appreciation for a vast number of automotive interests. In the garage next to my Pantera sits a '36 Chevy Coupe hot rod project, and I also have a lowered '61 P1800A Volvo (with fender flares) as well as a Mustang GT convertible, so you can see I'm all over the map.
Tony - Long may your Cleveland rev!
