Mike,
I saw two Pantera's in Mike Higgins' shop back when I was still active in
the SCCA (early 2000's????). Mike was the chief tech inspector for GT
class cars for the SCCA, and I was racing GT4 at the time. He was actually
pretty particular about the rules and, I believe, for a while also raced a
GT1 car. Anyway, his shop was home for weekend coffee.
Both Pantera's in his shop were pretty well torn down and in pieces, and he
said they were "customer cars." It was Higgins the gave me Les' name and
number. I followed Higgins' suggestion and reached out to Les when I became
a real Pantera addict. Les talked me through the purchase of Asa Jay's car
(he thought I overpaid a tiny bit, but said it was a great car for my
project). I got the impression Les thought I was nuts for building a group
3 car. Then I found out he had a Group 4 car, and it made more sense.
Anyway, the pieces come together....I would not own my current car but for
Higgy and Les.
Regards,
Steven G. Lisa, Esq.

Thanks for that great information.A I am hoping one day to be able to
crawl all over, under, and in one of the factory Group 3 Panteras.A
I seem to recall that Mike Higgins here in AZ also had several
Pantera's sitting dusty under tarps in his Tempe shop.A I don't recall
if they were racecars -- but knowing they were with Higgins would lead
me to believe they were race cars.A A I am not sure what happened to
those.A Anyone know?
There are also, of course, numerous Pantera's racing in the
over-the-road events like the Silver State, but as far as I can tell,
none of them are built to the FIA Group 3 or Group 4 rules.A
I do have all the full FIA homologation materials - mostly sent from
Mike Drew and others (thanks!!!).A This group is amazing.A I had most
of the early ones (1972-1974) translated to English to make sure I was
reading them correctly.A A
I am sure the Group 4 Pantera's would not be allowed in "HSR Group 3"
-- which is where an early 1972-FIA prep Group 3 Pantera is allowed.A
That also holds true for SVRA Group 5 - which requires theA Pantera to
be prepped "Pre-1973."A However, many of the later mods that the FIA
allowed for the Group 3 Pantera's after January 1, 1973, would
disqualify even a Group 3 Pantera from racing in SVRA Group 5 -- but
most of those mods won't kick it out of HSR Group 3.A The HSR is a
little more lax, e.g., even though I did a brake upgrade, HSR was ok
with it.A (BTW - my last email with the pictures of our build
mistakenly said the SVRA approved the brake upgrade -- that was not
right -- HSR allowed it, and I am pretty sure that the SVRA would
not).A A
Anyway, my goal was to back-date my 1973 Pantera to run in accordance
with the December 1972 FIA Group 3 rules, and then to make whatever
additional mods I could get away with that kept me in the spirit of the
pre-1973 rules to prevent from getting kicked into theA faster/higher
mod groups.A However,A the Pantera complying with the "pre-1973" FIA
Group 3 rules was simply no fun to drive.A So, I tried to walk the
line on further mods.A When someone complains, I will do what it takes
to make them happy.A So far, so good.A A
But, that leads me to the curious question of how many of the "later"
mods after 12/72 were made to the currently-racing or currently-known
Group 3 Panteras? Because, at least for the SVRA Group 5, those later
mods will probably kick the FIA GRoup 3 Pantera into the same racing
group as the much faster FIA Group 4 Pantera (SVRA Groups 6, 7, or 10
depending on level of prep).A I am pretty sure that for me to go to an
SVRA event and run in SVRA Group 5, I would need to undo some of the
mods I made.A Not so for HSR, which is just thrilled to see a Pantera
Group 3 racing (even though it is customer-built and not a factory
one).A A A A A
Finally, I can't agree with you more regarding the cage.A We put a
true racing cage in SN5533 (but limited to the same six points of
attachment allowed by the FIA).A I simply won't race with something
that isn't safe. Same with fuel cell, fire system, etc.A That is also
one reason we decided to do the brake upgrade, we didn't feel safe
racing the original brakes, and if that keeps us alive and kicked out
of SVRA -- but racing HSR -- I am good with that.
Again, major thanks to this group for helping along the way.

FWIW, there are two factory built Gr-3s in the U.S. (one in British
Columbia, the other in So-Cal). As well as Guy Trigaux's factory GR-4

there were only 34 Gr-3s and 14 GR-4/GT-4s ever factory-built, we have
a high proportion of these rare racers 'locally'.A Note also they are
all owned by POCA members....A A The other 12 GR-4s are scattered all
over the world- one is still in Australia with its original owner from
the '70s, I believe.A
Steve, do you have the original homologation papers for the Pantera?
Makes quite interesting reading and maybe could settle arguments with
some Vintage inspectors. They're all in the POCA Archives along with
the official 14 pg Gr-3/GR-4 Parts Lists. Note to OEM fanatics: the
homologated factory roll cage may be desirable for collectors of static
displays but if you want to drive your racer as it should be driven,
it's no longer an acceptable safety part in the U.S. The cage's welded
tube wall thickness is 0.060" while the SCCA requires 0.090" nowadays.
Not sure about European rules.

A Guy,
A If you are racing in the US in the coming months, please keep me
posted
A on your plans. Perhaps we can get a common weekend on our
A calendars.
A Have you considered the HSR Classic 24 at Daytona -- coming up in
late
A October. We are planning to bring two cars: the Pantera for the HSR
A Sprint races and a Panoz Esperanta GT2 for the 24-hour.A Any chance
A you can make it?
