I thought I'd post some pics of the Pantera since its finally done. Hopefully no more changes to this one. Next stop, a run down the 1/4 mile just for kicks to see how that 408 goes.

What a piece of art. Our local Ford show last september had three or four Pantera's in attendance that I drooled over, but none look as sweet as yours. Nice work.

I might be willing to trade a well thought of '65 coupe for the Pantera if you're interested......

Good gravy!

Where have you been hiding this work of art? I hope you know that this is like some kind of sadistic tease to only have 3 pics of that for us.

When I was a kid there was one guy who had a pantera. Thing was a small town, local legend. Looking at your car, I am reminded why. What a car!!!! If you don't mind me asking, how does it handle when compared to a more modern car. I gotta assume it's worlds beyond an old stang.

Well stock they dont handle real well, but better than a classic stang. Ours has tons of stuff on the suspension so it handles very nicely.

They are the ones out of summit that I put holes in for the breathers and welded baffles on the underside to help not make such a mess from rockers shooting oil up.

The blower and injection went away, changing over to a 5.0 mass air system. Still the same engine though. Got the Track Heat intake on the way and all the wiring, sensors etc etc off a donar car. 80mm Pro-M mass air and some 30lb injectors with UPR fuel rails. Still have my 1000hp Fuel system so Im good there. After I get it all running nicely then Ill start work on the T70 turbo install with Water/Alky injection for cooling at around 14lbs boost. Also have a 66 stang to do that will be dual T3's but the shock towers are out of it so its going to be much easier to do.

The Pantera is my dads, I just work on it and do all the mods.
