In reference to the Independent Antique Radiator described below, I would be a little skeptical about having only 3 rows and more concerned about coolant making only one pass through the unit. I believe the coolant should make two passes through the radiator to properly cool the liquid.
JMHO....

Quick reply from
Mishimoto:
Charles,
Thanks for the E-mail!
Unfortunately, at this time we do not
offer an aluminum radiator for
the DeTomaso Pantera. I am sorry for any
inconvenience. However, I will
be happy to add your information to our
product suggestion list! If we
do decide to come out with a product that
matches your description, we
will be sure to contact you!
Please let me know if there is anything
else I can help with!
Mishimoto strives for the best Customer
Service. Have I fully resolved
any questions or concerns you were
contacting us about today?
Thanks,
Gerry - thanks for the info... Quite
interested, although a little
turned off by the fact that I would need
new tubes under the chassis. A
few years ago I bought all new SS tubing
(so that it would never wear
out!!) Let us know how you like it - I'm
thinking that Santa would be a
perfect guy to guy shopping for me, so I'm
not in a hurry but am
keeping my eyes open for the best
solution

Charles,
You wanted
lifetime.........warranty
Independent Antique Radiator in
Algonquin, Illinois , will be
selling an all brass, 3 core, extruded
tube (no seams), single pass
radiator that is a direct replacement for
a Pantera radiator. It even
has the new dimpled fins for more heat
dissapation........designed for
the air conditioning condenser to be
mounted in front and sucker fans
recommended by Jon Haas to be mounted
behind.
This radiator has the heat sensor screw
in mounted on the drivers
side as recommended by John Haas and
included in his radiator fan
controller kit.
This radiator requires new
tubes to be made from the under chassis
tubes.....Inlet on the passenger side and
outlet on the drivers side.
Current prototype is running in
my car. The radiator should be
available in about 2 weeks....$650.00 .+
shipping..I can send pictures.
Their warranty
is unconditional excluding damage not caused by
manufacture.

Inquiry sent, Al, thanks. May be in the
market for a new radiator, as
mine
is marking its territory a Little more
every day. A lifetime warranty
would
be fantastic!
