[DeTomaso] Pantera Project wanted

[Mike & Elizabeth]

Randy, we have a local car (Seattle, WA area) that will likely be coming up
for sale soon.  It currently belongs to the widow of  former chapter member
who passed away 5 years ago.  She reached out to me to help get the car
running (it has not started in 5 years+) so she could sell it.  It's a black
on black '74 that her husband had done a lot of nice work on over the years.
I'm going to go take a look at it in the next week or so to see what needs
to be done to get it running.  I'll take pics and send them along to you.

What is your availability to come look at the car with me?  From Oregon City
to Renton, WA would be about 3 hrs each way.  If you like what you see and
strike a deal (she does not currently know what the car is worth/what she
wants for it), you could trailer it home and take care of all that needs to
be done to get it road worthy.  Based on the way it looked last time I saw
it, that won't be a great deal.

Let me know.

Hello everyone,

 

I'm new to the Pantera community and looking for a project grade early
Pantera.  Something made during the Ford years.  I've been interested in the
car since I was in high school but lots of things got in the way of owning
one.  Now I'm on the hunt and excited to find a good daily driver that needs
some TLC and a good home.  Let me know if you know someone who is interested
in passing along a well worn early Pantera.  

 

Related to my hunt, there is a Pantera for sale at Beverly Hills Car Club.
It look like it is pretty rusty, has anyone seen this car in person?  Would
you pass along your impressions please? It doesn't fit my base criteria but
may work if the price is right.


I hope to meet some of you over the next few months as I continue my search.

 

Take care,

 

Randy Stevens
