Im setting here looking at a first place trophy in the Cobra, Pantera class. I cant believe it, I never even new he was going to show the car, I thought he was just going to the show. This car wasnt put together to show, just as a nice driver.<br /><br />

Re: Surprise "Pantera" Surprise

Start out with a classy product like that and it won't take too much to get noticed anyway. Is it pretty stock, LD? Gorgeous car, Lube Dude!<br /><br />I've seen some on the web that were tricked out to beyond imagination. Looks like they'd eat most Ferrari's for breakfast. Supposedly wasn't too hard to do, and total cost of the car was still less than a Ferrari valve job! Good old American 351 Cleveland Iron under the hood, too!

That is one fine looking ride. I have always had a facination for the Pantera.<br /><br />I think if it had an orange front bumper, Gonfishin would think it is a very large duckie lure for his gators! :D <br /><br />Keep him away Lube Dude, I would hate to see the hooks he would mount on it...Plus it looks better in a show than behind Gonfishin's boat being towed!

Yes, Its nearly 100% stock, Thats why it did so well in the show, the others were modified and the Cobras were reproductions. There have been color matched mirrors added since the picture was taken, really makes the car look wider, newer and classier.<br /><br />On bad thing with the stock 15" wheels is that it is next to imposable to get any tires for this car anymore. Everything is 16, 17, 18" anymore.<br /><br />

LD.<br />Did you ever locate any rubber at all for it?<br /><br />Looks sharp and you must be well pleased with the reward. Makes some of the pain go away I bet.<br /> :) :) <br />Regards<br />Peter
